LondonGirl, some posters on the board have enough experience to provide their views about Chinese schools even if they haven't worked for a particular place. One of the reasons may be that they've been in the country long enough and they've researched the schools. Perhaps, they have even been there for interviews, demo classes, have had their friends study or previous or current coworkers work there. Experienced FTs (not advertisers or puppets to the employers) are a source of information to take into a consideration.

Cheers and beers to your bitter dispute that the board is a shit and FTs should not be trusted :)
