They are at it again .
The ad runs like a dream ...
1) We have 8 foreign teachers on our staff...Wrong . they have 4 . the longest has been their for 5 months.

2)Training and Mgmt support.. The only support you get is knowing that you have a job. training exists of 3 days observing other teachers.You do get observed by the Scottish Man you talked to on the phone . otherwise according to sources they have had 2 trainings in 5 months.

3)Offsite teaching . EF Nanning started 3 years ago with 6 off site schools . Thankfully or through fault of their own they were down to 2 primary schools at the end of July 2008. They just lost another contract. now only one school remains.

4) Hours are not 22 teaching hours , but 22 hours plus office hours which can really add up fast especially if you work split shifts ( mornings and afternoons).
Average real working hours 50plus .. According to informed sources Summer school and the shortage of Staff meant that no foreign teacher was able to watch the Olympics or even have a life.

5) The photocopier is always broken . the printer for the one computer in the Teachers office is a cheapy that you would not even buy for your house. It cannot handle the requirements of Professional Teachers.
The one computer in the Teacher's office cannot access the internet except in the evenings for some reason.

6) The men's bathroom urinals are duct taped to the flow pipes. The western toilet is broken and has not been fixed for months. When it rains the roof of the building leaks and water pours in. EF Nanning is on the top floor of a annex to the local library so therefore the hallway floods.

7)The Owner of EF Nanning appears to be fixated on making herself a bundle of csah . Minimum financial outlay and maximum profit. She could be running a MacDonalds for all she seems to care. She became unglued according to sources when an Air conditioner was accidently left on . She threatened 2 months in 32 degree Celcius heat to turn off all Air conditioners permanently.
She is worried about how many paper clips teachers are using.
Teachers had to fight to get paper to make posters with the children about of all things "The Beijing Olympics."
School materials are dated.
Like many China EF Schools,it appears the Marketing departement runs the school.

8) Sick time .. Call in sick and the scottish man will call you and yell at you . They will send a EF Representative to your house everyday you are sick . Lose your voice. according to them EF Nanning and the Scottich man you can still work.
Inside sources report tha having fever temperatures was no excuse for going home sick.
If you like that kind of atmosphere than go ahead apply.
You were warned.
