OK, as a current (pissed off) teacher at Hohhot let me set the record straight.

The current DOS has never lied about his work experience (why would he?!) as for education, I can count on one hand the number of teachers sat in this teaching room with Degrees. The previous two DOS' had no degrees so thats not really a factor is it?

EF Hohhot has been run like a holiday camp, people turning up late for class and looking like gypo's. The current DOS is trying to change this, its not everyone's cup of tea but for those of us that want to work in a professional workplace this is what we've asked for. He has nearly three years teaching experience (only around 8 months less than the previous DOS) and over 10 years management experience.

At the end of the day, man up!!! Your mother doesnt work here! Yeah, there are issues here and working in a chinese workplace with chinese management isnt the greatest experience - mostly because, as a westerner, they are pretty much seen as idiots who make incompetent decisions.

BUT, your salary will be paid on time and the current DOS will try and help you with any issues you have; whether its being stalked by another member of staff or needing a new uniform.
