In response to Re: New Century English School Dalian (DalianTeacher)

OK, so some skeptical person (and there are plenty of us) should come to your school and ask for "Dalian Teacher"? Yeah, sure... Then suddenly an FT will emerge (with management coneniently standing next to them) and spout praises of the school and its working terms and working conditions. I know ALL ABOUT these kinds of tactics.

5000RMB per month sounds like public school salary, not training center salary (which usually varies 6500-8500 a month). But sorry, any private enterprise that pays a monthly base salary (repeatedly) for far less than the actual full time teaching hours performed is usually on the verge of collapse. I can't imagine any private training center in China doing that more than twice before closing its doors (and usually owning money to foreign and Chinese staff). And od they provide and apartment or monthly accomodation allowance in addition to the 5000RMB a month?

I worked in several training centers in China (mostly Nanjing) and I never needed a Chinese teacher to help me "control the class/students"!?!? Your comment is obviously well-intended, but to me, it's just another red flag (pardon the pun) about the place.

In most of the training centers where I worked, the Chinese staff were also quite kind and usually helpful. However, this friendly dynamic did not offset the almost complete lack of professional ethics and educational integrity. Yeah, someone always told me with a smile that the copy machine was broken, the teaching materials were missing -- "Please prepare a new lesson for your class," which was usually happening about 5 minutes later, etc. I could go on and on...
