You are absolutely right about what you said. But Bill is not a foreigner. He is the chinese headmaster and owner of the school. He does think we are all naive to the fact that we are foreigners and we just don't understand Chinese customs or ways. But after making friends with many chinese. They all said that this was not the chinese way and that he is just a bad man who wants control. They all said that he has a mental problem. I'm glad I'm gone but if I do work again in china. i will do my research before I accept. The foreign teachers that he would put in charge of the foreign staff did a great job but once he saw that they were better bosses than him, he got very defensive and then would take that title away and give it to a new foreign teacher that had only been in the school for a week or two. He doesn't want to see his foreign staff succeed above him and he doesn't want his foreign staff to stand up to him. If they do, he will ruin their projects, ruin their name and even spread rumors to the parents and other staff members about them. It is really sad to think that there is someone so unhappy with themselves that they would make people feel lower. It's not a chinese thing or a foreign thing. It is a Bill thing. There are good people and bad people. I just would never work for him again and I dont' think anyone should ever work for him again. Plain and simple. There are much better schools in Songyuan.
