Had to laugh at the comments about Huijia on here. Liz, there are most likely 1-2 "good teachers" at the school but out of the 70-80 that they employ, across their labyrinth of illegal businesses in Beijing, most of them are short of the talent and the experience needed to teach professionally. The pupils at that bogus school are being deceived as is anyone naive enough to work there. The cat was let out of the bag many moons ago about the shameless atrocity doing business under the name of Beijing Huijia Private School. That entire group is an old retired fart from Changping Public Schools, if he is not already deceased, and his offspring running the school, namely his son and daughter. The daughter is or was living in Australia or NZ and she was trying her hand as a school manager. The son runs a bunch of failed businesses that he funds using cash from the schools to keep them afloat. They don't adequately compensate their people and most of them just get the proverbial shaft in the end. I am not sure who the big fat pig is that you mentioned but your posting rings 99.9% true otherwise. My husband and I have three kids and we run a business near their college. 1 of our employees has a pupil enrolled there in the primary school and that pupil will leave before middle school. Most of the nearby residents and some of our suppliers and their children have shared their tales of woe from that school. It does look sort of like a jail or a prison from the road. One of our new employees from Germany was asking me about schools for their child and we were talking about the school today. I tried to find their Web site but it looks as if they closed it all down. Maybe they are trying to save money for some more walls, guards, and security cameras.
