First, i'd like to warn everyone against giving too much credit to any of what "turnoi" writes on here, he is obviously a sour individual with too much free time on his hands and comments on people and companies he has never dealt with personally. Most of his comments are general and dismissive of an industry and people that are indeed more interested in money than anything else, still not everything should be dismissed in block with no regards for the integrity of some.

regarding meten, it is admittedly not a very serious institution. but their methods and standards are in tune with the other 3 in the "Big 4" group; hard selling, little expertise, cutting corners, etc...

after you have spent a few years in china, you ll be able to put things into perspective and think that overall meten isnt the worst place to work at. i did enjoy sitting with students before lessons, most of their teachers are decent individuals (regardless of their teaching ability) and it's up to you to do your research and understand the law before you get involved with any organisation and people.

we have to be competitive in our market. here as in the west, the laws are often written to make it difficult for the little ones to compete with the big ones, so little ones have to start cutting corners too. if you dont have CNY5mil to invest, you are unlikely to get the necessary licences to operate 100pc legally, does it mean people who care about teaching have to carry on working for organisations who don't care just because wwe can't afford to compete legally?
