Turnoi,

I quote you here:

"Insane crappy training centres attract insane teachers"

And I have read a lot of your posts on this forum.

My point of view: Most foreigners who come to China don't have a clue in terms of who to trust and where to go as they're green and the Chinese government allows these shit schools to flourish even though most in 2nd tiered cities and above don't even pay tax!

Unfortunately, most training centers provide a higher salary than private institutions - which is important to laowai's.

Also, giving deechers a few days off during the Monday to Friday sprawl which makes having a life convenient among foreigners.

I have worked only for these crap schools and I've got fucked over a few times due to this, but one was decent enough but still sucked.

That's not saying that a public institution wouldn't fuck me over as well!

And I have not worked for anybody for 9 months now as I'm on an S visa but got bored even though I have a profitable online business.

My rule of thumb now is that if you do a good job teaching and help the kids to improve their English then it doesn't matter what company is employing you.

They respect the fact that you're good and helping them.

If anyone wants to live here for the long-term then they need an exit strategy though from teaching in these schools as most if not all are unjust.

But sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do based on circumstances.

It's too bad that China has such a hard time tightening the rope against the necks of those who own crap schools.

But this is China and it won't change anytime soon.

China is nothing but lies and deceit.

I've been with my girl over here for 2.5 years now and had one from China for 4 back home!

I should know...

But don't lay the blame on teachers coming over here for ANY job as for all you know they could be real good!

I've learned in life that it's not best to generalize too much.
