There is a decent international school Clifford in the area but at country garden school that is clearly not the case.This year 2017 there have been several instances where administration has threatened not to pay teachers their salary due to mistakes they made and tried to cover up. Your salary is never ensured and you cannot trust that it will be paid to you,paid on time, or that money is not deducted. Some teachers at this school have been deducted pay for taking a needed sick day,or because the 1980's clock in system that only foreign teachers must use is not working that day, and we are marked absent,although we were at school.

The school will try to control you by threatening to cut your salary if you do not abide by regulations and policies that they decide to just make up last minute which you did not to agree to in your contract. It is incredibly unprofessional and juvenile.Staff moral is the lowest than any school I have ever worked at, and we are only into November?

We are all being affected by a negative toxic environment, and on Monday mornings at 8 am western teachers have to do a song and dance known in Chinese as the cgs 'monkey dance' in front of the local teachers and students.We have weekly evening meetings from 6:30 p.m.-9:00.I am not usually one to bad mouth or go on a rampage but I would never wish, upon anyone, the stress and frustration that I have encountered while working for the past three months at shitty country garden school, doing the cgs monkey dance.
