It is just me or are the defenders of the Beijing Huijia Private School all stupid? I am a newbie here. I taught in Japan for 3-years and in Korea for 1-year.

Funny you should ssy that. I was teaching in a Sichuan backwater about a year ago. A fellow countryman arrived from Japan to fill the remaining vacancy, but after 2 days he begged me to help him pull a runner. It was clear to me what I considered to be fine in terms of location and the job itself was totally unacceptable to him. Reluctantly, I helped him flee from our public middle school by packing his large backpack in a shopping bag so that I could get it past the gate police office. Anyways, he was gone on a Saturday morning without the teachers or FAO realizing it until Monday morning, by which time he was back in Glasgow. From what I've read about your school, I'd stick it no problem if I were allowed to teach without interference from other teachers while being paid exactly as stipulated in the contract more or less on time. People are indeed strange!
