Robert,

Huijia postings on Dave's ESL date back a few years in one of the teachers' forums. I don't think that there is anything sudden about postings on this forum, rather, it is a continuation of more of the same. I saw a recent posting on Dave's ESL about someone else that was recently sucked into an interview and they jerked him around and he got smart and left. I did not work at Huijia but I do know people that work there now and they all dislike it. I teach at a public school not far from Huijia and I don't hear anything good about the school, but I have heard many bad things about the school. The students there are violent, combative, disrespectful and have chips on their shoulders. They are poorly motivated for learning. I don't know what they promised you for wages, but most certified teachers earn double what Huijia pays in the Beijing area. There is no curriculum there at all and I am 100% positive of that. If I were you I would keep looking and take my balls and bats and go elsewhere because working at the school would not be in your best interest. Even the local black taxi drivers can tell you not to work there if you speak Chinese and I do. My friends work in the IB high school. When I asked them about Diana I was told that she works in the middle school and she is a witch and a liar. No one likes her there at all. I was also told that 90% of the troubled students are in the middle school so if you are working there you would be in a miserable situation. Quit before you arrive. I don't know what Web site anyone is talking about on here because I went to the school Web page on Google and it is not online. It is hard for me to trust any school that cannot maintain their own Web site. Hundreds of postings spanning several major teacher sites and a number of years cannot all be wrong.
