I am an accomplished international school development leader. In 8 years I have managed to go from an inexperienced teacher to a school leader who has been instrumental in the development of a new school offering an international curriculum that includes IGCSE and A level for students from the age of 6 to 18 years of age. As head of the arts department I have created and written my own textbooks for drama and lead a team to build a successful arts curriculum for music, art, drama and visual arts with an emphasise on cross curricular project based learning.

Yeah sure going around treating people respectfully is going to get me hurt. Believe it or not by saying that you should treat someone with respect until they give you a reason not to is actually a value.

Articles : Jack_lerkio commented on news Number of Foreign Thieves in Shanghai on the Rise

I don't think anyone would deny that Shanghai's nightlife is unsavoury. That's not what I was talking about though. I'm talking about walking down the street in the middle of the day minding your own business and getting heckled by hawkers and scam artists. Things that are common in Hong Kong and Beijing but not ... Full Comment>>

Articles : Jack_lerkio commented on news Expats in China: How Valuable Are They to Employers?

Firstly taking drugs is a victimless crime. The only people they are harming are themselves. Secondly it doesn't really matter where people are from. How many meth addicts are there in Beijing? And how many of these expats came from a single country? It wasn't that long ago that Chinese students were arrested in ... Full Comment>>

If he uses this website to find jobs then his username will be attached to his application. So therefore if any employer wished to search his name on this website his posts would stand out and perhaps unfavourable comments might not go down well.

Articles : Jack_lerkio commented on news Chinese Media: The Dangers of Hiring Illegal Foreign Teachers

No one is to blame but China itself. I think the wage structure and the lack of professionalism from the majority of Chinese schools. Plus the borderline racist views that teachers should be white are the reason that schools have teachers who don't give a shit. When a teacher arrives in China full of enthusiasm and ...
