Teachers looking for a school in Zhuhai China ? Do yourself a big favour , avoid Fountain School like the plague . Since February 2004 out of a total of 18teachers , 16 have resigned , been fired , or done a midnight runner . Im one of the two who made it to the end of their contract.The resignations were for a mixture of personal reasons , better jobs to go to , being told resign or get fired , or just plain disgust at the way the school was being run.
All the above teachers are experienced , many with a string of qualifications to their name .So they werent backpack bozos who couldnt teach their way out of a paper bag .
In the time I was there , the school consistently twisted and interpreted the contract ( ha ! burst of mirthless, ironic laughter there at the use of the " c " word ) to their benefit and frequently added/changed clauses .
Im extremely annoyed with the disgraceful way many of the teachers were treated . For goodness sake do yourself and the teaching profession a big favour , STAY AWAY FROM THIS SCHOOL !
