Re: Crap\ Pretend schools in China\ Thailand

What you said about your fellow countryman I couldn't have put better.That's why I enjoyed reading your post very much.
Through the grapevine I heard that he had left China's 'Salt Lake City' for another province at least a year ago.
But maybe I've been deliberately misinformed - I'd have thought the last thing he would ever want to do is leave there.Enlightenment would be welcome;over to you.

Re: Crap\ Pretend schools in China\ Thailand

I wish to lend support to Silverboy's argument. I myself have had first hand experience in meeting people who have dealt with Yuncheng IELTS all of which left in dismay and disappointment. I believe Turino is none other than this fool, Paul.

I have known some good teachers that tried to get run out of China because they did not comply with IELTS. Basically IELTS lied and said that they were doing bad things for China merely because the teacher wanted to work elsewhere (after even finishing their contract!). Paul fits the typical weirdo outcast foreigner... old mixed with a failure in life persona yet highly egotistical... full of himself and married to a much younger Chinese women (which I am told he treats badly).

He is basically the liaison between the Chinese decision makers and the foreign staff. He actually gets angry at the foreign teachers for living in bad conditions. "I hate foreigners that come to China and expect it to be western!" They don't want to live with old Chinese men, highly their elder and have curfews Paul! Especially if they are women! I could tell more stories but I think it's unneeded.

Anyway, I concur that Silverboy was being modest... Sunny is just a lackey trying to save face and her job and Paul is the real jerk. He screws over his own people to make a buck and be looked at as an important figure in his community... Something he could NEVER accomplish back home in Canada (you shame us Canadians PAUL!).
