Shanghai International Studies U., training division?
« on: April 10, 2010, 07:21:41 AM »
Hi --

I was wondering if anyone out there has had experience teaching here, or dealing with the foreign office.

I talked to them for long enough to agree to come and ask for a contract, but when I got it, in addition to the 16 hours they told me about, at the very end of the contract it mentions six more of doing other work for the school.  I e-mailed one of the foreign teachers, and he said it isn't enforced, so not to worry about it.

I am leery, though.  I'd work 16 hours for the salary the quoted me, but not 22.

Also, there is someone named Christine Zhang involved, and I vaguely remember hearing that name before.  I remember hearing something about a school in Shanghai (maybe that one) that hired people, but then farmed the teachers out to do training elsewhere. 

Is this the same place?  I'm starting to feel a bit leery about going there.

Thanks for any info.
