Chinese staff underpaid? Perhaps. But they are not forced to work there. If they believe they are underpaid they can choose to work elsewhere. Plus, they have two days off per week, something not all English training schools provide. It's unfair to apply Western work standards to China.

Boss racist? Nearly half of the foreign staff this term is black so if the boss is racist it isn't reflected in school policy.

For a prospective foreign teacher, though, this is a good place to work as the workload is light and concentrated on weekends.

I understand the need to turn a profit (it is s business, after all) but this school, compared to other Astons, cries for a major facilities upgrade.

As with other English schools, the Chinese staff and foreign staff make a big difference in your experience and these change from term to term. The school will try to give you as little as possible and you'll try to get as much as possible--come to an agreement and get it written in your contract!!!
