Corbin will no doubt have the good sense to filter through the BS offered in this and other forums and find suitable employment through proper channels. That you personally couldn't find a suitable school after five years of searching has absolutely no bearing on whether or not such schools exist. Perhaps you should have widened your parameters a bit; however, since you have provided absolutely zero information as to where you conducted such a search nor what conditions you saught, your complaint carries no real meaning.

My reason for not providing the name of a specific school/college/university is that I would rather they not have to take the risk of hiring pretend teachers and that instead they continue to do their hiring through proper channels. Granted, the high demand for teachers sometimes results in their having to accept a less than desirable substitute for an actual teacher, but that choice is far too often one they live to regret. Moreover, since the majority of teachers in China are not qualified to be in an EFL classroom, I wouldn't want to suffer the guilt of having inadvertently pointed one or more of them toward some of the great institutions where I've been employed by posting their details.

Few experienced teachers in China would downplay the importance of your advice to avoid recruiters in China. I haven't seen anyone disagree with that yet. Even though I know of a few honest ones, I'm not going to argue that point. I do, however, take issue with the obsessive behavior of posters here who can't find anything constructive to say about China and who allow their obsessive behavior to lead them toward writing posts filled with foul language and, again, sweeping generalities about the EFL scene in China. In addition, when, by their postings, they reveal themselves to be pretend teachers and show themselves incapable of using English to write the simplest of posts, I must question the quality of their advice, their degree of cultural sensitivity and their suitability in an English language classroom. If you or they want to rant on about recruiters, be my guest; however, there is absolutely no need to attack someone such as Corbin who faithfully asked for advice and received insolence in its stead.
