Hello,

I worked for a school in Shenzhen for some time, which was called Shenzhen Marong Education Foundation. I was an employee there for a total of three years and they care as little as they possibly can about their foreign teachers. Their have schools all around Shenzhen and uinfortunately i saw many times a new enthusiastic employee coming and then ending up a wreck and probably deciding to not return to China in regards to teaching again. MAny foreigners, even though they could get a work visa, was postpoined and many times the police came by and they where deported and blacklisted to enter China again. They do not care about the foreign teachers at all. They Will give you the worst teaching material you ahve ever seen in your life. Most of it is misspelt and inappropriate for children as songs they sing, which often are Nazi songs which they think are normal UK songs.

Furthermore, their whole foundation is about fooling the parents. They just want you to make sure the children are happy all the time and always tell their parents that they had a good time. If they actually learn anything is apparently insignificant for the foundation. Therefore, most of the time will be stupid mindless games and weird songs.

Be aware of this school, they have ruined so many peoples time in China and they have had so many people deported because they havent cared to get them proper visas. The police come by often, so it is not an appropriate place if you wish to work on another visa then the Z visa.

There are much better schools then this foundation, try to find it. Some have a good time here, however, i believe that the majority did not. Too many people just did not have a good time at all!

Regards,
Keith
