Dear Jacque,

I am so sorry to hear you had as unpleasant an experience with the management in CHC as I did. But I am ever so happy that you, like I, decided to post on here to warn other teachers who might be considering them as employers.
Unfortunately these people will continue to use and abuse teachers as long as there is a healthy supply of fresh young blood. This was my 1st posting in the world of TEFL, and I can happily say that both schools I subsequently worked for (in Colombia) blew CHC out of the water with their treatment of staff.
I think the sad thing is that management think they're doing a good job & treating the teachers with respect & really helping them, when that couldn't be further from the truth.
CHC has so much potential, pity it's weighed down by people in it for a quick buck.
Best of luck with the future - I'm off to China now myself :-) I hope you've perked up a bit about teaching since your last postings!
