Contracts should be to protect you not to be used against you

In June of 2000 I was in Guangzhou with my family when my parents received and offer to teach at a ESL school in Zhongshan. Because we were white Capital Language School used my brother 13, sister 6, and my self 10 at the time, to do all there advertising. When they printed out the fliers Ms.Xu decided it would be more efficient if my siblings and I handed out the fliers. She stated that it would attract more people. My parents agreed as long as we were supervised and only gone for a couple of hours. We left at 7am and did not come back until 9pm . the entire day Flora only allowed us a 30 minute break for lunch at McDonald's.
Flora then decided that she would use my brother and I as ESL teachers for her summer school program, she promised us a salary of 1000 RMB per month. At the end of the two month term she withheld pay for several months and only paid us 880 RMB total each. She did not abide by the contract and give the promised amount of RMB. We were paid less than a months salary and we were constantly overworked being expected to teach a class of 40 students at the ages of 10 and 13. She was abusive toward my brother while he waited in the conference room to be paid. He was tapping the desk and Flora threw him into the wall. We only agreed to the job in the first place because we forced into it and thought that are parents would be fired if we did not comply
When my family quit we were accused of causing $7000 worth of damage to the apartment they put us in, and had a false lawsuit brought upon us.

If you are going to china its best to work for an American, British, or Canadian organization.

SINCERELY,
