If you are thinking of coming to teach in China make sure you have enough money to cover you over just in case you find yourself in a situation like that described in Mingshi American English school. If all FTs did that then schools like that would simply not exist. If a school gives you a rat-hole to live in, don't waste time asking for clean sheets, just LEAVE STRAIGHT AWAY. I can't understand why anybody would endure a couple of days in those conditions, let alone a YEAR.

FTs, if you want to see an end to poor schools in China, then put them out of business by not teaching a single class. It's a waste of time trying to reason with such schools. They're not prepared to listen or change. If you stay there they'll just think that you're a mug who can be used. They'll promise you better conditions "next week" just to keep you there, until the next mug comes along. There's no need to endure deplorable conditions when there are plenty of decent schools in China. You need to take a bit of time to research them.

WISE UP!
