I've heard of this guy that had a gas problem. During class he would occasionally walk around the room and while the student was studying he would pass gas in front of them. He thought it was funny until one day one of the students almost died from the fart smell that she breathed in. She was taken to the hospital but she recovered successfully. After the other students heard about this they all dropped his class. Since there wasn't anybody to teach anymore he ended up working in a restaurant as a waiter. Little do people know about this and everytime he has to bring the food to the customers they think it is the food they are smelling, but it's really his fart passing through the air. 

Another story I heard was a kid that was teaching had his passport and belongings taken from him. He posted all types of bad stuff about a particular school and the people at the school actually responded. The cops were involved and he eventually got his passport although many of his belongings were missing he fled the country in an attempt to not have to go through any more troubles anymore. 

Some of the worst teaching stories I really actually know of are the one's where the teacher plays games with the students and the parents have to still pay that tuition to the school. Well, at least the kids learned how to play UNO and card games while they were at school. They can now play poker at a Casino. No, not really!

One time I was teaching a college English class and I was geting a little frustrated that the class wasn't paying attention and contributing to the class. So, while holding onto the text book,  I raised up my hands in the air and prepared to shout something to get the students' attention.  Well, to my surprise, the textbook in my hand smacked into flourescent light bulb that was above the blackboard, making a thunderous noise as the bulb shattered,  and glass rained around the room.

 

I never had another problem to keep the students' attention or focus!

  Had a friend who got so fed up with one eleven year old student he hung him out of a window 30 floors up. Kid wet himself. My friend didn't even lose his job.

How about secondary school kids telling the foreign teacher that unless they taught them "The Chinese Way" (i.e. telling them what to memorize for the test) they would complain to the Principal and get the teacher fired!  This actually happened to me and I could not believe the nerve the little bastards had to blackmale their teacher.  In my 53 years on Earth I have never seen such spoiled kids than here in Beijing.

Never trust any Chinese to tell you anything that is 100% true! Chinese employers will tell you anything to to get you to agree with what they want and need. They are masters at manipulation and exploitation.

we came here because we made china the factory of the world by letting our governments destroy the middle class so we can worship our government benefactors who graciously give us things for our vote so they can arrogantly enjoy a life more deserving than us.

A: "... through ..."?  Only "through" comes to mind is "Shenzhen agent can connect you with an employer, who's authorized to hire waigouren ... and can sponsor Z visa." It's not like every 10th person you meet in Shenzhen's hood can sponsor work visa ...  The only way to change from student to labourer visa is just a regular way by: 1. Finding an employer, who'll apply for an Invitation letter; 2. Exit China and apply for Z visa in your home country's Chinese embassy; 3. Enter China in 30-days after Z visa was stamped into your travelling instrument ...As I am aware, you won't be able to switch to Working permit by remaining in China....,so make ready for a return to your home .... -- icnif77
