The owner is a woman without a clue. The place is constantly under police BS looking for money from ESL teachers without the proper visas. She now has the legal right to hire foreigners, but it is not any place you would want to work. Her GAC program is a failed GAC program and come to think of it, all GAC programs are failures anyway. The woman that owns that GAC center is a witch from hell with a real ego problem. I know two people that used to work there and both hated it.

The owner is a businesswoman who has sold two apartments to finance her school. She doesn't know everyday life things like the price of electricity, and is definitely a person with her head in the clouds. She worries herself sick if students who have not paid up and leave. Once their parents pay the whole fee in a oner, she won't refund despite heated arguments. Failure is not an option for her students. And most have failed the pre-test! That means the two FTs must doctor the scores so that the course takers can all 'pass'. Her husband is a gentleman, but no businessman, and loves her to bits. Their daughter is very clever and has studied abroad. Her English is way above her mother's. They're not bad people, but they've dug themselves into a financial hole. It's rather a pity, but I'd have to have little sympathy for Nancy's plight as she is definitely a haughty woman. I do not envisage that school ever becoming a viable concern, so I wouldn't be one to teach there and be left high and dry with cash owed me when it goes to the wall. What I've said above is common knowledge within academic circles of professional people, both foreigners and Chinese, in Taiyuan.
