To the above poster, I completely agree and when people in these threads make comment's like, "This school is dumb" and "Every foreigner who works at training schools are dumb/stupid" and "training schools are for stupid foreigners and stupid students"...who is the one that sounds ignorant? SERIOUSLY! No one reading this is sympathizing with you. We all think you are the idiot man. Anyway, let me try to communicate in a way that ignorant posters might understand:

I don't know how it is that many people in this thread and on ESL job boards in general write in a way that gives the impression to readers that they were raised in a gutter. I'm sorry that you have had a bad experience or multiple bad experiences. That's largely your fault. Perhaps you are a wheel-spinning "teacher" in China who is wandering aimlessly. Fortunately, you are very unlike some of us great teachers who teach and travel with purpose and are currently / will be successful at life. Many of us had have great experiences teaching abroad and I'm sorry, I don't feel bad for you.

Again, for all posters who write on ESL jobs boards like you were raised in a gutter (much like the ignorant people on this thread who don't know how to express themselves in a normal, rational way), know this: You deserve to come from the most underprivileged upbringing from a country where opportunity is so little and seemingly non-existent. You deserve to experience an extremely difficult way of life and switch your life with someone who deserves a much better life. I guarantee that person would do five times as much with your current life than you personally ever have/would. Stop complaining on job boards and figure your own life out until it's a good one and don't make accusations about people being dumb or stupid who you don't even know. I for one have worked in private schools and training centers in Korea and China for a combined two years. I have made excellent connections in and outside of school and in my city. I have traveled the continent and have truly felt rewarded by the students and staff members I have had the privilege in working with. It was an awesome experience because of my attitude, the research I have done when job-searching, etc. Three words for you: Figure it out!
