I read the review on ISR about the Private Semi Conductor International schools in Shanghai and other locations...
Are they still that disorganized? Aside from having to sign for everything, locked rooms, odd rules etc...what is the daily teaching life/culture like?
Class size, students, curriculum, resources, etc. Once you get used to the annoying things and get your apartment set up is it bearable or not?

OK I dont mean to hijack your post here, but what is it your looking for?
I ask because and not trying to offend you or scare you away, but you keep asking about the "authenticity" of the ISR reviews. Let me suggest that the individuals who took the time to post those reviews arent just making things up... They are what they are, and while you can break down bad criticism into basically two kinds: the "deal breakers" late pay, crummy housing, no PD, etc, and the personality conflicts. when you see a number of them with a school in a long list of evaluations, as Ive written before you have to expect (even if your lucky and it misses you) that your going to get hit with something unpleasant...
That isnt to say that a bad review is a bad school. Just about every school has a bad review or two, and this site is kind of a dumping ground for venting frustrations (and basically NO review, is as close to a good review as your going to get). Still I REALLY need to ask when you read that kind of review, what makes you still want to go?
