[quote=APAULT,39557]Now my experience in a private language school, you know, the ones that are outside school hours.

I joined one in a smaller town in Guangzhou on the recommendation of a friend - though I had always said I would keep clear of such places.  There was a notice on the wall that said teachers must adhere to the syllabus for the class - cool.  The problem was that there was't a syllabus for any class!  Here is a pile of books, teach what you like with emphasis on spoken English.  Just make sure the students enjoy it so the parents will keep paying the fees.  Some students had NO English, others were excellent and needed very special help, all in the same class. The bottom line was don't let education of the interests of the students interfere with making a profit.

I quit for many reasons and the school folded soon afterwards because (it seems) the boss was cheating his partners and they found out.

So LP, my experience in two types of institutions is that the syllabus is just the tip of the iceberg, there are many issues.  I am coming back for more !!![/quote]
