Barbara, I would seriously consider changing jobs.

Admittedly, I am personally affect by Shane, as my experiences as well as others I know were not good. Be especially wary if you are working in Dongying, Shandong. This includes the districts:

East City Dongying
West City Dongying
Hekou
Lijin
Guangrao
Kenli

I am unsure if they have expanded into Kenli yet. This is for the Aile/Shane school in Dongying, Shandong province. I am not sure if Aile only does Shane schools, but the group I was with used both names, and interchange when trouble is about. I may be pre-emptive and perhaps you are not going to this region, but if you are, beware. I shall provide some links that are from this forum, i have provided the raw link:

These are two which I have known well as I have known the posters involved. There are others, please use the search feature on this site to find more. Also, not this recent post by I sure as hell hope is a Chinese person posing as a Foreigner, as their name is Candy:

This post, I cannot say is illegal, but due to recent laws it is certainly suspicious. Though perhaps some nationalities may still do the run to HK to change their visas. Mind you this is Shane, not Aile, and as I stated I am not sure if they are always the same. Though a quick search on Google seems to only bring up Dongying in relation to Aile. So once more be warned of Aile Education Group and or Shane English!
