Q: Is there a ESL blacklist you can access from China?

I've found links, but they're blocked here, such as blogspot and facebook...

This is pretty close... it's not specifically a blacklist forum as it allows both positive and negative reviews.

Thanks for the link. But, as to be expected, mostly 'negative' rather than 'both', and oddly, ab out 80% of the reviews are for Korea! About a dozen for all of China, and all of Europe... I hope there's a better one (site) out there.

Shining Brow, look for reviews of schools on the various high-traffic ESL sites:  try www.eslcafe.com, and then www.raoulschinasaloon.com, and www.eslteachersboard.com, and this site here, although reviews are rare.  Blacklists as such are generally meaningless; they are often ill-maintained, or they are not honest (meaning one person writes under 10 different names); finally, do a general Internet search.  If you want to "blacklist" a school, than just post as per above.

P.S. Does anyone know for sure whether there is still a blacklist being kept on foreign teachers?

That's a good question, considered here often before, perhaps you may wish to create a separate post for it to attract the maximum amount of answers.

A:I'll give my two cents on the age part. It's not as easy but can definitely be done. I was 21, fresh out of university and landed my first teaching job in china as a homeroom kindergarten teacher on a pretty standard 20,000/month salary. I'm 1 year in now and am still happy. Pretty much all international kindergarten jobs on here want 2 years experience, but many will still accept if you have experience in your home country. With that being said, being white and having a nice looking face is much more of a decision factor in china vs the west, if you can- use it to your advantage. Good luck finding something! -- brinsleym
