In response to Clifford School in Guangzhou, China (Teacher from 2007-2008)

I live at Clifford Estates and although I am not teaching at Clifford, I happen to live in section D of Clifford Estates and I know many students from Clifford, most of which are Korean. They attend the bi-lingual program. I have heard absolutely nothing from them other than how bad the school is, how lame the Canadian teachers are, and how badly the school is run. I have spoken to a few of the foreign teachers from Clifford at the local Clifford shopping areas and thus far, from what I have seen are dressed up back packers without a clue. The hiring standard and practices at Clifford must be really low from what I have seen thus far after speaking with a few of their so-called "teachers". I have heard the wages are very low. I own my own home here at Clifford Estates and so my housing is quite nice as is the local area. However, with the high costs associated with living and shopping at Clifford, and the low wages that Clifford Pang (owner and developer of Clifford Estates) pays, I cannot imagine anyone seriously considering working there myself. The buildings and the grounds are indeed nice, but much like Clifford Hospital, no one knows what they are doing there. My kids attend AISG and although costly, I know they are actually being taught by accredited teachers with licenses, whereas at Clifford it is a crap shoot. Most of the Korean parents and a few of the American parents that I have spoken to only have their kids at Clifford due to convenience and pricing. Annual costs at Clifford are about 100,000 RMB per year and Clifford is known to be the 3rd best "international school" in GZ. I would say avoid Clifford and go somewhere that pays well and knows how to treat people. That's my 2 cents. I hope it helps you.
