What your "not wild about" is an opinion, your opinion. Information posted should be based on fact.
Your quote, "If you are going to be vague and offer no details, simply saying you are doing better", then you apparently didn't read the specifics in my posting. You also imply that by paying a higher salary one can salvage a tarnished reputation. While this is partly true a company can't lose the stigma of being bad by only increasing the pay rate. A bad company that pays more money is still a bad company.
Your quote, "Higher then average pay offered" are words that you are trying to put in my mouth. I never stated that we pay higher than average. Read the posting.
Our teachers make between 5,200RMB & 6,000RMB. Not as high as the bigger cities but well within the norm. All is relative the cost of living is higher in the bigger cities.
