For your information James - Teaching is a profession, not a career.

Correct, teaching is a profession and NOT a career!

For this reason, a professional teacher with a bit of integrity should not work for a place like that garbage Web International place in Suzhou. It's just a business, and there is nothing about education.

To be asked "Why can't you get sick on your day off?" (as they did) says it all. It means treating people who are decent teachers worse than dogs; and on the long run, it will affect the teacher's quality of work in such an environment. I cannot imagine anyone to bear with this for a longer period of time.

It is very important for anyone in the teaching profession to love the job and to love the students he is dealing with to do a good, professional job. If that is lacking you will constantly check your watch for the lesson to be over and to get out of the classroom as soon as possible. The next day in the morning, you will hate to go back to work and reflect on how to get the day over while you are having your morning coffee.

It's not a thing I would recommend to be involved in - in the end, you may suffer from a stomach ulcer due to the stress involved.

It is not worth the effort to ruin your health and to make any efforts to work for a shitty place like that!
