everyong. Are you having trouble reading? It IS confirmed Dong Fang is trying to raise prices, by more than a few students. The principal has confirmed it! do you think this is some weird attempt to discredit this poorly run institute? they are doing a fine job of that themselves. And your confusing posts are only helping to confirm that the dong fang staff, including you, think the foreigners are stupid and will just go along. Everyong, if you are indeed a student, then go yourself and ask the principal if there will be a price increase to 8000 rmb.

In one thing I agree with everyong, who it seems may be a teacher at dong fang. nevertheless, I do think that everyone should find out for themselves what is going on. The whole problem is that these schools are betting on the foreigners NOT figuring this thing out.

also, I think every agency on this would be better. a tsunami of publicity. the reporter is having a hard time with the schools and students evading her questions. it'd be awesome to see a tv camera and news team show up at dong fang! is anyone good enough with their chinese to call the channel 6 tv?

my latest email from the reporter says that to further investigate she really needs personal accounts. I guess only very few have given her their stories. She asks that she be told what the students have encountered in the schools and their ideas on this. also she asks for a face to face interview. I assume everything can be anonymous if you'd like. i'll likely meet with her. if you know of any teachers who would speak up let me know. She also says her contact with the schools and teachers so far have ended in them evading her questions. If you would like the reporters email addy just pm me. she has good english.

here is the Chinese language news report about our efforts! Let's hope the from the reporter looking into this.
