| A gripe is a Gripe Hey Margy, I think I'm going to have to disagree with you on this. While I agree that an employee should know what the wage is going to be before hand, the other things the guy mentions are some of the very concerns I look for when deciding to stay at a school or consider it as a place of employment.
Being shipped out to other schools, non-compensation of travel time, constant switching of class schedules, tyrannical bosses, a school that's not very well structured -- all this sounds to me like the typical problems that are covered up by lots of smiles and promises, and then once you sign you're hit with all this in a very backhanded sort of way. A good school is more than just adhering to a contract in the way that a good teacher is more than one that just shows up to class every day.
From this guys description, I'd consider myself well-advised to stay away, and recommend this school be sent to the blacklist or at least copied there to give fair warning to people looking to teach in China.
