A job ad from our friends over at Dave's. Warning: may cause fainting among those with weak constitutions.
Our school, Yulin Foreign Language School is located in Yulin City Shanxi Province China. Our school specially accepts the students,who were consided to be bad students by their teachers and parents in their former school. In reality they are not bad, they only couldn’t get good scores in their examination. They have normal intelligence, they only don't suit to the system of their former schools, its none of their business. Because Chinese school is terrible, like prison. They are forced to do many many exercises and homework about their subject,they are also forced to memorize many incorrect things; they study more than 14 hours every day. These things are not knowledge,they are trash because they can't give students help. Students study only for test, they don't believe anything except scores. Good scores mean that they are good students, low scores mean that they are bad students, so simple and because of this the schools in China make most of them failures,most of the junior students (over 80 percet in Yulin City) can't enter senior middle school
Its time to change!
Our school (private and profitless) is completely different from other schools; score are not important. We give students freedom, respect and love. We give them power to chose and power to think they have got big progress. Of course, we also have many things to do. We have a dream that our school will become the best school in China. You can help us by being a part of our school faculty. You teach English or teach students anything you like to teach. You can get valuable experience. You also can get good salaries. We need 4 native speakers of English...........

Yeah, I saw that one too. I'll go with a little from column A, and probably a bit more from column B.

Well, someone has certainly learned what to say to attract the attention of foreign teachers. Wether it's true or not remains to be seen.

Kinda like that kid on the playground that always used to get attention by rubbing other kids' faces in the mud. Sure, it got plenty of attention. The kid, however, needs to learn to differentiate between positive attention and negative attention. Then again, it looks like they wanted to cover their bases on this one and try to get both positive AND negative attention. |

Wow, I can see the movie now...
The Power (US/2004)
Eccentric backpacker Dave Spengler (Robin Williams) arrives in a small Chinese town to teach English to students with learning difficulties. His strange methods at first cause concern with Headmistress Yu (Michelle Yeoh), but the students' English improves and a relationship between Spengler and Yu begins to develop. After leading his students to the National Spelling Bee Competition in Beijing, where they win, he decides to jump on a plane to Korea saying, "My job is done here."

Internet chatrooms say that four teachers were initially pitched to the studio, but the bosses said that too many foreigners would only confuse the audience. It was cut down to one after a series of re-writes. Funny you should mention Kevin Spacey, this is from the Internet Movie Database... |

Is not-for-profit intended, or did it just work out that way?
I bet some rich old lady dropped a pile of money on this scheme, attracting recent graduates with hearts of gold to give these loveable little underdogs a second chance.
I'd do it for 5000 yuan if I was allowed to taser on of them on the first day, and once every two months thereafter.

You teach English or teach students anything you like to teach. You can get valuable experience. So, I like to teach underage girls to take pills and make all my wildest dreams come true. Hao ba? |

Parties - another chance to get English out of you for free.
Accompany you shopping - too dangerous for you to go out alone.
7 days of training and trial lectures - if we don't like you during this period, you'll be on the next plane home.

I like number 14, wherein you get insured AFTER a full year's work. For 12 months you've got nothing, but on that cab ride to the airport and home you're completely covered.  |

Just noticed this one:
FAO: Now, customs can be very invasive, so we're just going to help make that a little bit easier.
Teacher: whuh?
Door slams. You hear the door lock.
A rubber glove snaps against skin.
FAO: Ok, now. Just bend over and think warm thoughts. This will be over in a minute.
Teacher: O god no! Help! HEEELLLPPP!!!
Fade to black. You can still hear screaming in the background....
