I’m an experienced teacher who was employed in the English section of this school, and there are some serious issues at this school.

1. Grades are given arbitrarily. This school doesn’t seem to have the basic understanding that reading, writing, listening, and speaking are separate skills. The school assumes if a student is strong with writing, then that student would be strong with listening as well. Any properly trained and experienced teacher knows this is typically not the case. As a result, I was required to downgrade students who performed well and had to give A grades to students whose performance were the poorest. Since grades do not reflect actual performance and ability, this school is nothing more than a glorified buxiban.

2. The work environment is openly sexist, and administration would casually make negative stereotypical remarks regarding women. The sexism embodied by administration also extended into behaviors that created a repressive atmosphere.

3. Conservative alt-right (racist/sexist) dialogue is permitted, if not encouraged, to dominate the teaching environment. Administration often uses language of exclusion rather than fostering an environment that is beneficial for all.

4. Administration is under qualified, highly disorganized, unprofessional, and at times completely irrational, which impacts the teachers, which in turn impacts the students.

If you don’t mind incompetent management and you’re partial to the confederate flag or your outlook has been strongly defined by apartheid and continues to inform your behavior, then this learning/work environment is for you.
