I've just read the posts regarding Shenzhen Shiyan Public School and would like to respond. I taught at the school for almost four years. It's a large school with about 6,000 students, grades K-12. I taught briefly in Kindergarten, then the high school for a year and then the International Department for the next few years. I found the school to be a wonderful place to work and teach...very laid back...no micro-managing of the foreign expert's work. It was probably the most stress-free place I've ever worked. It's a boarding school so it has a more 'family' feel to it than a non-boarding school. So yes, I too, sometimes refer to the school as 'we'. No, I've never been part of management but I still feel like I have family and certainly close friendships at Shiyan School. It's located in what's called the 'experimental zone' of China and that area really can't be compared to all of China as a whole. They encouraged diversity and I appreciate the fact that they allowed me to teach Bible studies at the school and in my home. Management, the local staff, the foreign teachers, and the students - wonderful people...great memories.
