Absolutely Everything I Know About Teaching English In China. The Whole Unvarnished Enchilada.

By Dan Harris and Steve Dickinson

Every so often I will get an email from an English teacher in China who is owed money by the school for which he works. Typically the letter will state the case and then ask "do I have a case." I nearly always answer by saying that "based on the facts you have conveyed to me, it certainly does sound as though you have a case," but you really need to ask yourself whether it is worth your time and money and all the hassle and stress to pursue your case for $300 to $700. These emails are the sum total of what I know about teaching in China. Despite this, I every once in a while also get emails from people asking me what I think about teaching English in China. I respond to these by saying that I think it is a good thing for everyone to learn English. Next time I will also mention this post, "Teaching English in China," on the Stupid Pig's China Blog because it is the only thing on the web of which I am aware that talks about teaching English in China. If you are interested in teaching English in China, please do not email me, just check out this post.
