curtr on thabet_sava 's blog We Must Protect the Chinese Youth from Being Lured By ISIS(34 comments)
The notion that Chinese kids are going to start running to fight with ISIL en mass is laughable. I get it. Your real intention is to say, "Hey, I'm a Muslim, but I'm not a terrorist." Fine. But don't pretend to be some kind of journalist reporting on a real threat. Also, what kind of "educator" ... Full Comment>>
curtr on news Veggie Heaven: 9 Mouthwatering Vegetarian Chinese Dishes (16 comments)
I never really understood why anyone who's a vegetarian would come to a country like China. As often as not, they garnish cabbage with pieces of pork butt. And Mapo's Tofu usually has meat in it. Also, the Ma La Tang is cooked in meat broth. I've had to deal with fussy white people for years--the kind that wont eat ... Full Comment>>
curtr on news New York Times: Chinese Developers “Rent” Foreigners to Help Sell Property (6 comments)
Strange how this Chinese website is sort of a cheap knock-off of a real American newspaper, too. I don't think any of the people in East-Bumblefuck province really believe the real UN Ambassador is endorsing their apartments. Neither does anyone believe this is a real website. Full Comment>>
curtr on news To Learn or Not to Learn: Cantonese vs Mandarin in Guangzhou(4 comments)
The title of this article tries to be witty but it's actually idiotic. The questions is whether you should learn Mandarin OR Cantonese. So, you shouldn't be asking "To learn or not to learn?" You are already assuming that the reader will be learning one of the two. Full Comment>>

If you're such a susper-star, why are you wasting your time trying to help morons like us? Why don't you start your own factory or build an internet start-up instead of insulting the intelligence of half your audience? Self-indulgent bs from a limp-dick office drone. Full Comment>>

Yes, this is a great story, but it's kind of frustrating that this was put on a website aimed towards English teachers. If you have a story to tell, you should at least make the effort to have basic grammar and style. The editors should be embarrassed to have this on their website. Full Comment>>

You wouldn't hire a bald man for a shampoo commercial, would you? I'm not racist, but I understand why the Chinese want teachers who look like Don Draper. It's show business. It's not just about teaching English, but also about Western culture. There are so many Africans in China, it's hard to tell if black people ... Full Comment>>
curtr on news Hillary Clinton: 100,000 US Students in China by 2014(2 comments)
Everyone goes to America because they have some of the best universities in the world. The notion that China is somehow learning our language and culture for sinister purposes is ridiculous. Clinton's statement fits into the recurring narrative of "The Red Scare". In the 1980's, Japan was expected to ... Full Comment>>

What about Meten and Web International? In my experience, the students and especially the managers make or break the school. In general, franchises are the worst place to work because the owners just wants to make money. Public schools are better because they have career teachers and they aren't afraid of a snotty ...
