These so-called realists in this forum never cease to amaze me. Whenever FTs find something unacceptable, such as working conditions, cheating/lying/corrupt employers, etc., we are constantly bullied by this far-fetched notion that we cannot accept cultural differences. Hooey! Being lied to and cheated, threatened and abused is NOT cultural difference! It is simply rotten behavior no matter which country it takes place in.

Dont be fooled by the expression: China is a developing country, either. Yes, in economic terms is it indeed, a developing nation. There are plenty of poor people in China. However, these poor people are not the owners of English training centers.

These school leaders are being driven around in chauffer-driven limos and living in penthouses, paid for by the sweat and long-hours demanded of Chinese staff and foreign teachers. Dont let these bully posters, these realists shame you into believing you have no right to complain or speak out about the rampant corruption and exploitation (of Chinese and foreigners) in the ESL world of China.
