In response to Re: Wall Street English (Crap School Spotter)

Getting past the pages of lawsuits filed against Pearson, the fact that WSI's are located in dangerous overcrowded shopping malls with totally inadequate fire suppression and without clear escape routes and without bilingual clearly identifiable and well-trained security, and in areas of heavy traffic congestion thereby guaranteeing a 100% involved structure fire by the time EMS and fire personnel could even get close to the scene, and the fact that in many instances WSI locates their "pilot centers" on the roof of a structure or near it, is a recipe for failure, death, serious personal injury, and catastrophic loss.

Completely irrelevant in the context you are presenting it in. This is down to China and China alone. What about all the stores and restaurants in these places? By that very same fact we should never enter a shopping center to buy anything or to go and eat but I bet not one of you can honestly say you do not and will not in the future.

You are correct. There is a complete lack of all the things you have stated but this kind of thing does not simply stop at shopping centers. I have seen Universities and schools which are overcrowded and have inadequate fire suppression and lack of exits. Classes 80 plus in size with one small door and a small flight of stairs taking you down 5 or 6 floors to an equally small exit to the grounds.

Buildings are often inadequate in their construction across the board and I have NEVER taken part in a fire drill at a school or a uni in all the years I have worked in education here in China which incidentally is coming up on 11 years very shortly.

Pearson's only bought the Chinese division from the Carlyle Group's affiliate and not all of Wall Street
Institute. In fact Pearson's bought WSI from an affiliate of the The Carlyle Group and Citi Private Equity,
and not the Carlyle Group itself. They did not buy all of WSI.

Where do you get this information from and how do you support it. Pearson has purchased the whole thing and merged it now. the info is available online.

Anyway it is pretty clear that debating over any of this is a waste of time. All I will say is that people need to investigate working there themselves if they are considering it and came here looking for information. No one should be taking my word for it and not just your either. I haven't even started working there as yet so no matter what I do say it is still not based on experience, it is based on research and research alone.
