Q: Strictest rules and requirements for a teacher
What are the pickiest requirements for a foreign ESL teacher, or the strictest rules for such a teacher's behavior and performance, that you have encountered?
10 years 9 weeks ago in Business & Jobs - China
200 RMB fine for the FT to be late to class - in my last uni.
They then sent me to the wrong building for a class at the start of the semester, so i told them that if they fined me for that, they would not hear the end of it.
no fine luckily 
Same university banned the male foreign teachers from speaking to the students outside the classroom. How they expected them to take part in any extra activities was beyond me until i was landed with them (Only female FT) and i objected to this in the strongest possible terms. They then changed this rule

I actually would have loved the last rule. I would have made business cards with, "Your university does not allow me to speak with you." with the contact details of the FAO. I would have showed up to English corners mute, holding my contract. That rule wouldn't last the semester with my antics.
I must follow the text book while teaching Oral English to High School students. I feel this rule defeats the purpose of having a FT. But then I am basically a marketing tool.
Any Chinese English teacher can follow a text book. So why pay me 3 to 4 X as much as a Chinese teacher to use a text book?
jleav14782:
That actually does serve a purpose. Ideally, you teach the material to the students with a clear and native English accent, be it Australian, British, Canadian, American, etc. That is something that native Chinese are hard-pressed to do.
