Correction

When I wrote my previous post, reponding to Ms. Gibson I neglected t0 read the initial Post from Mr. Kerr.

In fairness to Mr.Kerr regarding the GAC at Mudu; I was at that GAC in mid 2009. Mr. Kerr worked there the previous year, in 2008. I had heard about the changes in management but it sounds like owership changed too. The people Kerr mentioned to avoid are no longer at the Mudu-GAC School.

Its no secret they had some real problems as Mr. Kerr outlined and I don't dispute any of it.

Everyone including Mr. Kerr should be happy to know the school has changed dramatically. It proves there is great hope in China for education. The market and the west will indeed allow for succession. Accountability coupled with skilled teaching will bring everyone success.

Years ago, when I was a realtor in the USA, we had a saying at our agency; I'd rather be the second or third realtor but not the first. Thats because we knew houses took about 6 months to a year to sell and the standard exclusive real estate contract ran only three months. All home owners think there house is the best and should sell in a week or two.
Here in China going to a new school is always risky! If they survive 2, 3 or better yet more years, the chances of reasonable management is much higher. Change takes time!

There's a lesson for Ms. Gibson, Mr. Kerr did not like his situation, so he did what I would do. He resigned after the first year. Much better than waiting 4 years when you no you should of left after the
first. Kudos to Mr. Kerr!
