The Pantalooned Poltroon - 2012-01-05
In response to Re Rubbish Yuncheng Middle School (Apollyon)

I taught here last year. Not bad. It's all white, except for American and British blacks. Last year, there was an American named Mario, who was definitely mixed-race. No Africans, for sure, which their rival certainly does employ to a large degree. I would go to dinner with three Africans from "the competition" in my district occasionally.

The biggest pro is Mr. Ji, the owner of the school, a stout old man. Charming guy, actually, who speaks little English (or pretends to) and grins and bear-hugs the unwary foreign. The other guy, who speaks fluent English and manages the foreigners, Mr. Dong, is unfortunately not quite as charming. Quite insincere, really. But that's a small gripe. You don't have to like the guy.

The job is accessible to older people and young people without experience. The pay is average to slightly-above for this category of ELT, but housing is better than the large cities, obviously. Many of their foreigners are on dodgy Hong Kong business visas, but they will renew the proper work visas, if you have them already.

They paid electronically and always on-time in my case. I had an irregularity with the accounting once and they fixed it. Maybe it was intentional to short-change me? It was never a pattern, so that might be unfair.

Also, the rivalry between this and the other school, which split inimicably around 2007-ish, is quite bad. Might be viral-marketing sabotage. Overall, the accusations are too highly-charged for what I witnessed there. I gladly left with more experience to get a better job in a more vibrant area, but I didn't part on bad terms.
