I'm not sure if posting the schools contract is something you should be doing and I'm quite sure that if you were to pull that kind of of BS in our countries the consequences would surely be greater! We're given a lot of leeway as foreign teachers in China and by the sound of your thread you're abusing that leeway! I don't know Philip at all but I can say this, I am a Canadian teacher that has worked at Chicago International English for 3 years and I had a fantastic working experience. If you don't know how to teach as well as adapt to the system that you're in don't be there! I hate miserable foreigners that complain about everything in China and try to fix everything. I highly recommend this school and it's staff and I would especially like to single out Wang He in charge of student affairs, Chinese English teachers Summer and Kathy and CEO Da hai.
