Silverboy...you really made me laugh out loud this time!

"The schools I selected are the ones the have received a large number of bad reviews. I included the names of several big franchise/chain schools, as they have received hundreds ( some thousands ) of complaints"

You neglect to mention that the 999 of the complaints came from you and your buddy Turnoi! hehe

Let's face it, EF, Wall Street, Web, Linguaphone, Shane etc offer good salaries, professional environments and career development which for the majority of ESL teachers is very attractive. Some teachers however do not like this style of operation. They prefer to be independent and work at universities or kindergartens where they roll out of bed, teach their classes and then carry on with whatever pursuits they enjoy in China. Each to their own i say!

Your witch-hunt of the franchise schools on this site proves which side of the fence you sit on. However, it is wrong (and cowardly as other posters have written) for you to blacklist these schools just because you have chosen not to work for them. You've even admitted that you don't live in China anymore, so do you really expect people to believe the [deleted] that you write!
