Definitely! I've tried several times to make them aware of the harm they are doing, but they are also in league with CIEE (participants beware!). So CIEE send however many teachers they request. So they are on easy street and always have teachers flowing in that have not only signed a contract with them, but also a contract with CIEE! So they are trapped for the year. Despite this, some have still broken contract and "done a runner".

One (non-CIEE) was in Jiaxing less than 24 hours after feeling the typical treatment from admin. Arrived at 3 in the morning, got shown to a filthy room with no water, no linen on the bed - nothing. He tried a nap until the office open then went, still quite cheery at this stage, down to the office ready to get some things done (namely water and exchange money). Admin said "it's out on the street" - "well, I don't know where. Can you show me?" - "Oh no, I'm busy. Here's some other teachers' numbers, maybe they can help" !!!

Do you feel the love? We did help him, showed him around and fed him breakfast. But that was enough for him to know the typical situation here. So like I said, he left a few hours later despite losing money from the venture.
