For a more balanced account of life in Da LI ask ME! I was in the Da Li Experimental school for 7 years. Unlike Mark Wheeler who came to the school as green as a cucumber thinking he was the be all and end all of English teaching. Mark Fell out with Kevin in a big way apparently, tried to get one of the current teachers to leave to go to a job he had signed a contract for, but never went to. The school in Guangzhou complained to the SAFEA office, had his experts certificate cancelled, nice one by the way, Mark now probably gets by going to hong kong to get a tourist visa every month... good luck Mark Hope you enjoy that Early morning English gig... what time? 8 a.m. is it?

By the way Simon, Turnoi, Silverboy, Dragon breath whatever his name is, are just haters and hate everything, they seem to be best of buddies with old Mark boy though... ask Me about Mark I can tell you a thing or two about him. About the emails he sent me after I had left the school saying he was going to get a friend to f**k me up as he knew where I lived and knew where I worked... then claimed his email had been hacked by someone in the office when they came from his Samsung tablet... ha ha what a joker. Mark is engaged in a vendetta to stop anyone going to Da LI school because of his own hate. You have to ask yourself why if china is so bad is Mark still there...
