Forums > Living in Kunming > WTF!! DD Dragon. You have no respect, because you fail to read and comprehend the original post.
The post states that DD Dragon has modified the offer to include a lower salary than the previous year, and that doing so is an attempt to swindle potential employees.
DD Dragon employs teachers, which limits the scope of the subject further to the teaching profession.
So, with regard to DD Dragon, the compensation they offer, as it pertains to teachers, this is certainly the end of any relevant discussion.
If you want to discuss the plight of the student, or even the struggles of the parent who is trying to raise a bilingual child and provide them with a good education on a very limited budget, or perhaps discuss the morality of the institutions and people who are making efforts to assist, then start another thread.
These subjects are not the topic of this thread.
The End. (Again)
Forums > Living in Kunming > WTF!! DD Dragon. You are welcome.
Now, let's titrate up to an effective dose.
Anyone who is considering taking a teaching position at a school or training center in China does so at their own risk, and continues to do so according to their own valuation of the reward.
Nobody is trying to rip anybody off, the position is clearly defined and the pay is set, and if you don't like it, then do not apply.
You are not obliged to participate.
End of story.
Forums > Living in Kunming > WTF!! DD Dragon. In America, the same teacher can teach the same class in either Bridgeport, Connecticut, or Minot, North Dakota.
If said American would like, he or she may go to Kunming, Yunnan, and teach there.
In Connecticut, new teachers are paid around 39,000.00 USD per year.
In North Dakota, new teachers are paid around 24,000.00 USD per year.
In Yunnan, new teachers are paid around 14,000.00 USD per year.
You can say "WTF!" all you want, but that's the way life is.
If you are all so great, then go to Bridgeport.
And, while you are there, have fun making your 2,800.00 USD per month house payment.
(Of course, that is assuming you can put 120,000.00 USD down on the average 600,000.00 USD home, and secure a 30 year mortgage for the remaining 480,000.00 USD.)
