Perhaps the newbies won't take your warnings as very credible. The warnings seem to be, seem to consist of, a banger thrown through somebodies letterbox, followed up by a brick through the window with a note rapped around it 'GW GW LEAVE OUR NEIGHBORHOOD IF YOU KNOW WHAT'S GOOD FOR YOU!"

Turnoi had replied to one of my posts with a short piece of sarcasm. I asked him "Are you a state school or university teacher?" He has chosen to ignore my question. I had given him the opportunity to tell me about his current or recent experiences at Chinese state schools/universities and to compare this with what private schools have to offer.

All I know is that I had years of happiness and fulfilment with English Training Centres. Sadly, they seem to be a lot fussier who they employ. I am now too old for them to consider, so I will start at a university Sept 1.
