Yes, the contract is a little strict, but that's a Chinese contract for you. They're all strict and they generally never get enforced so who cares?
Really? My experience is contrary to yours, and I've taught at in excess of twenty schools here in China. So I should be aware of the true situation. Please stop feeding us untruths. We don't need your misinformation.
I've edited an e-mail I recently received from my current employer, with asterisks. See below. The proof of the pudding...........!
But a foreign teacher called ****, working in ****, insisted in asking for two weeks' leave to help his friend do visa, not his own issue. After the company refused, he was still away for 16 days. His deeds influenced the school's teaching job seriouly and caused the students' strongly against on him. The other foreign teacher called **** used to work in ****. During teaching he worked in other schools. After the school committee's investigation and research, according to No.*, Article *, Part * and Article *, Part * of the contract, the two foreign teachers are dismissed and reported to PSB.
