Hm I just find this point a bit surprising. Surely it's better than nothing, especially for things like meeting the whole "2 years of experience" they throw at you sometimes? Sure you have less administrative tasks related to working 8-5 at a school, but is this teaching in and of itself not the most difficult and quite similar to teaching at a high school? Would you say for the purposes of applying to high schools that it's significantly less relevant than experience at a primary school? And how do you know this?Universities have zero career potential from the perspective that you'd want to do one of three things:
A) Become a career teacher. No K-12 schools will care that you taught at a university in China.
(I just now realized you probably meant internationally/teaching back in the US. Makes sense. But what about staying in China?)
What even are the typical scams though? I see wayyy more people arbitrarily lambasting them and their gray area status than actually giving specific examples tbh.Shit offers. Scam. Press them with all the relevant questions regarding Z-visas, additional duties, etc. and you will watch the charade unfold.
Especially the ones without office hours. What are they going to make you do? At ones with office hours they might make you mine coal or assemble smartphones if you're not busy teaching
