In response to Re: York School of Foreign Language, China (danielle hnatyshyn)

Through various contacts that I have, I was able to find out more about this place. The DOS has a reputation for being a GW, in other words you will be given false information to placate your curiosity and fullfill the agendas (that of making more money) of those who are in the know. If you take a look at the ESL sites and note how often they post looking for new teachers that should give you an idea.

Also, go to their main website. It seems as if everyone is forced to wear attire that says the company logo and name. You must ask yourself is this a regular requirement? If you can't even wear what you want to wear (I mean business casual clothes, something comfortable and professional) do you really think your own free will will be respected?

Go to the school's main web page and look at their videos. There is only heavy marketing related material, no actual classes being demonstrated.

The main information is geared towards getting people to pay money and sign up for the school because of why they have the materials, the teachers, the time, the lessons, bla bla bla. But there is almost no concrete information that tells why working there can benefit foreign teachers to grow and become better. You would need to be very careful in this case and ask yourself, "If they don't offer info. on how to help me, would they bother to help me at all?" Being at risk and being put under a microscope to behave like a monkey and "teach" instead of teaching is a real possibility.
