Hi Dean,

Straight answer to your question is "You can never be sure" but most 'schoolies' are okay although I have heard even a Uni is not above pulling a fast one.

We are looking for an native-English teacher (to teach oral English in south of Shanghai)  Your qualifications are good plus previous teaching experience is an advantage.
I'm a retired English Engineer and been in China since 2003, Married to a Shanghainese lady who just happens to own and run her own school. Established in 2006 and still going strong; where others have been and gone! Her school covers Kindergarten and Middle school and you could be teaching in one or more schools within her catchment area of south-Shanghai.
More info available if you are still looking.
Short & to the point! :-) Regards, David -> dburchy[at]hotmail.com
PS. I have tried to find on expat.com just how they recommend you make contact without actually posting an email address. Apart from "use private messaging" and no further explanation I regret I could not finds a simple 123 method how to do that and hence it's noted above.
I trust the invigilators can sort it out
