I was never fired. I left on my own accord. I am not a disgruntled employee, though as I have said, I hated working for this school, as the admin and Western principal were horrible. You can check out reviews on sites such as international school reviews to see for yourself what others think of that place. I was not desperate to stay there; I could have found a job elsewhere (for visa purposes), but in my final year I didn't want any headaches and really didn't want the hassle of looking for a new job and securing a visa. It's pretty simple.

I received numerous letters of praise from parents and even one from the director (which no other teacher had received according to the director). I always performed my teaching duties with the utmost of professionalism. I completed all administrative work well ahead of due dates. I have letters from colleagues attesting to my work ethic and teaching skills. I could post them here, but I see no need to bother going to that degree.

During my 7 year tenure, I witnessed some extremely disturbing behaviour from so-called "teachers". One teacher would physically assault students, while others would verbally assault them with insults. "Stupid" was a word I heard a lot in certain classrooms. All these issues were brought to the attention of the leadership, but nothing was done. My direct supervisor was aware of these issues, yet did nothing to stop it. As I have said, the Western side of the admin was only in place for marketing purposes, so not only were they incompetent, they were a major part of the problem.

Was my false post necessary? Probably not. Should I have done it? No. Was it ethical? Hell no. However, as I have said, it was my final year and I didn't want any headaches and as the principal had a personal grudge against me, I thought it may help if I said good things about him and the school. Was my post the reason why I received the contract in my final year? I highly doubt it...it was just a coincidence.

In any event, I have some good memories of teaching in China. My first couple of years at this school were good mainly because I was still new and didn't know of all the problems. So if I hated it so much, why did I stay so long? Visa! Location! Convenience! I was not in China solely for the purposes of teaching!! I was there for other reasons...

Before making sweeping assumptions about a person, you might want to find out the details for yourself...it really makes you look quite stupid....
