... Hello David, unfortunately, I believe your assessment of the situation is correct. Clearly, it is terribly unfulfilling for a teacher and of negligible...

Follow-up--answers to questions I asked about the jobs at the Foreign Language School. As I suspected, it's one kids have to test into, therefore MAYBE has...
... Allow me to interject, busybodywise: This school sounds like a keeper. Motivated students, nice-sounding living accommodations. On the other hand, if you...

Dear Joseph, I grew up in the Twin Cities, although I haven't been there since the mid-90s. Even then, there was a HUGE immigrant population, including many ...
There is one scenario in which I would stay in China more than one year. If I come back and can't get a job in America. The cost of living here in the...
