In response to Re: Walton Language School, Guangzhou (Tangmo)

First of all,

For all teachers considering this school,

Do you really want to work for such an abusive, demeaning, insulting person as the foreigner (or maybe not a foreigner) who wrote the message to which I am replying? Instead of answering all of the issues that were raised by so many, here and other boards, this so-called "DOS" simply insults and belittles...

Now, what does that tell you? RUN, RUN, RUN.

He admits that weekly teachers' meetings now occur in place of the previous daily meetings...he admits that teachers no longer have to share apartments, etc. For all of you contemplating a job in China, avoid this school. The reputation that it had in terms of how it truly mistreated its foreign teachers was so, so malodorous that even in spite of what this "DOS" writes (or was paid to write), if you like dancing with wolves, than no problem.

He claims that that they have teachers from various countries....go look at their website, even if it is accurate (and that may be another story) and what he writes is not what is on the website.

It is a known fact that even if you are paid on time at this school, your paycheck will shrink for whatever reasons management deems valid. If you like "the disappearing paycheck", then this school is perfect for you.

He claims that the school is perfectly legit and all have Z visas (working visas for teachers in China). Not true at all. It is highly unlikely that you will ever secure working visa if you go to work for this school.

Next, the owner is a Taiwanese businessman and if you have ever been to the mainland, you will know that dealing with a Taiwanese businessman is like pouring hot gasoline on your body and then lighting a match (meaning don't do it).

Under no circumstances should any foreign teacher consider this school.
