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.

Korean students in China, what do they know? A bunch of spoiled brats seeking scapegoats for their poor academic performances, if you ask me!

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.

Backpackers with at least proper Western university degrees, by the way! Otherwise they couldn't obtain work visas for the purpose of teaching in China. What's more, I doubt the wages at Clifford School are very low for foreign teachers, as you say. A friend of mine teaching in Guangdong, but not at an international school, has loads of spare time to enjoy himself spending his salary, and thinks he's well-paid for what he does, unlike the overworked, strapped-for-cash teachers in the West!

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.

It seems you're out of touch with what teachers by and large think of their salaries here in China.
