Hello
Thanks for your insightful reply. This is my first year in China and I presently work for a new Chinese school affiliated with ISS. The administration changed policy in their Teacher's manual regarding extra pay when a teacher substitutes for another's class due to illness etc. I brought the policy to their attention requesting just renumeration and the response was to argue and ignore my request for compensation. Many of the antics that I have experienced would never be tolerated in the U.S. because of unions and access to a court forcing them to comply with contracts. But, I am in China and trying to be so careful before I leap.

I am an expat that needs to have connection with others in a like community.

I am in Nansha across from beautiful parks near the Pearl River Delta and purely Chinese towns around us; it is me and the crickets on the weekends.

Any other responses would be appreciated.

Thank you for your response. I want to be very careful and you have given me more insight.

I am hoping there are others who can shed more light.
Regards

Help!

I need info on the captioned school. I am looking for a new position and will be Skype interviewing with the school this week. There is no information on ISR regarding the school or it's present Director Martin Hughes.

I don't want to make a mistake by being swayed with promises and then not having them fulfilled.

I am looking for a stable school where I will be teaching English/Language Arts/ELL.

Any help is certainly appreciated.
Thanks
