SCHOOLS AND RECRUITERS REVIEWS

Comments? Yes:
The few posters here who are constantly bad mouthing the teaching scene in China are simply misfits who can't see the forest for the trees. Their negative experiences have embittered them to a point of absurdity and an inability to paint a true picture. Often what they have experienced as negative is simply the absence of the cushy life they experienced in the West. They only write about the problems and have never imagined a solution.

Suggestions? Yes:
Properly research any school you'd like to work for. Undergo direct contact with the administration of those schools and the Foreign Affairs Office. Make sure you contact teachers who've worked there before. Don't use recruiters. There are a few honest ones, but not enough to make that a viable option. Avoid working for private schools in China until you've learned the ropes here. Be humble. Expect the unexpected. Don't be a pollyanna, but don't be a pessimist either. Find a balance and you will see and experience things you could only imagine right now.
