Reporting illegal schools/teachers to the authorities

I just forgot to comb my hair. Honest.

As for the rest, it has to be one of the best windup threads in ages. OP deserves classic post status. :smiley:

I’m talking about business fraud and corruption, largely through the use of guanxi, not your average street thugs which hang around internet cafe’s and milk tea shops with their colourful scooters. High level fraud and corruption through non-violent crime is still carried out by criminal ‘gangs’ in every industrial and societal field in Taiwan, except that they carry briefcases instead of knives. A group of people engaging in crime in order to achieve a common purpose, no matter whether high or level, still constitutes a gang.
The buxiban industry is no exception, especially where big chains are involved like Kojen.

[quote=“Charlie Jack”]I like threads like these, because they have the effect of quelling these irrational fears to which we foreign teachers sometimes fall prey.

If this is accurate in all possible cases, then I suppose that the definition of advance notice must be a broad one. To provide a hypothetical example for consideration, how about, “Take the children out the back exit”? Would that be advance notice? Well, in a situation such as that, I suppose being given notice before the police actually enter the classroom could be considered advance notice.

The definition of raid, on the other hand, would seem to be somewhat narrow, at least in this thread. For the above hypothetical event to be termed a raid, I guess the authorities in question would have had to enter suddenly, forcefully, and perhaps at pistols drawn. So I suppose that one could call the above-described hypothetical visit by the police an abbreviated-advance-notice visit.

Then again, the definition of abbreviated might be subject to dispute. After all, why should the notice be considered abbreviated if, to continue with the hypothetical example, the teacher had enough time to wait in the common courtyard, enough time to ponder what the neighbors might be thinking, enough time to figure out by the length of the wait that the police probably weren’t going to leave any time soon, enough time to wonder what the odds were that the police might get the random notion to take a look in the courtyard, and then enough time to get the children out of the courtyard and take them to a nearby park? Plenty of advance notice there, I guess. And there is no sudden, forceful entry in our hypothetical example, and certainly no guns are drawn. So if my imaginary example is one that could correspond in any way to events as they might happen in the real world, I guess you folks are right: there are no raids on schools.

Additionally, I agree with those posters in this thread who say that such visits are not about the foreign teacher, but are rather about larger policy considerations. Of course, if a foreign teacher is engaged in employment outside the scope of his or her visa–and teaching kindergarten is just that in most cases–he or she can easily be deported. But to think about such things is to lose sight of the larger picture, and that’s how all these irrational fears get started.[/quote]

Who said these fears are irrational? I have been here for a long time. When I first came here, you almost did not need to worry at all about being caught working illegally. That is not the case now. I have known people who have been deported personally.
I think the people calling these fears irrational are likely working at a large chain school with connections, if they are working at a kindergarten or are not at the exact location indicated on their ARC.
If you are going to work at a kindy, I would not say your fears of being caught are irrational. I would say they are very rational as Taiwan is trying to become a law-abiding society and there are many things to consider: 1. Does your kindergarten know what they are doing is illegal? I would wager that some don’t. 2. Is your school a large well known school in the area? 3. Does your school have a contigency plan for what to do if an official comes investigating? 4. Does your school have good Guan-xi with the police department? 4. Is your school a large building with many foreigners, or is it a small one foreigner operation unit?
If the answer to any of the questions above is no, I would think twice about taking the job :no-no: .

Oh, and I have a question about taking the children out the back exit. Why do you have to take the children out the back exit? Aren’t they legally permitted to be at the school? And wouldn’t they slow down your escape efforts :ponder: ?

Now I’m confused, because I thought some of the other posters were saying that raids didn’t actually take place, and that everyone always received advance notice of visits. Are you saying that there really are raids/surprise visits/surprise inspections/whatever they’re called? If so, that’s a scary thought. I’ll have to think about that.

OK, I’ve given it some thought. You’ve persuaded me. On reconsideration, I think the fear of getting busted for teaching kindy is not irrational.

I suppose you’re right. Now that I’ve had time to think it through, I guess the imaginary series of events that I posted couldn’t possibly happen in real life. So I guess it stands as proof that I’m not very good at constructing hypothetical scenarios, and that I should stick to posting about things that I know something about.

Lotta makes a good point. I personally do not know of any kindy teachers that have been deported, but accept that some do for a multitude of reasons.
The fact that a lot of the kindys make the foreign teachers disappear when the inspections comes (announced or unannounced) indicates to me that the risk is real. If not, why not just continue teaching?

The kindy I work for only accepts those with APRC or Marriage Visas. From what I have heard if they are caught it is OFTEN simply ignored. “Oh, you are married to a local. Thats ok then”.

I have been here on 2 stints. Back in the early 2000’s 70% of the teachers I knew were totally illegal with no ARC at all, and there was basically no risk.
I now see the risk as real, but percentage wise it is probably relatively low, and therefore not that irrational. Was there not another post recently where some dude got busted working at another branch of his school? viewtopic.php?f=70&t=104971

I do not really care one way or another as I have a Marriage ARC, but if I was on a normal employer sponsored ARC I would definitely think twice about doing morning kindy.

Maybe, I should have not used the words gangsters (which was actually used in jest), but the system is still totally corrupt with nice fat red envelopes being thrown around under the table.

Another thing that might be worth checking out is if anybody from the school’s past has a vendetta against it, if it has problems with any other schools in the community, or, as was my case, if any of the teachers have problems with whack-o ex girlfriends. If one of these things seems out of sinc, there might be somebody looking to report illegal teachers.

Another helpful tip would be for one to take a look around and see if one is in Taiwan. If it turns out that one is in Taiwan, I think that might be one of them telltale signs.

A few blasts from the past:

[quote]I was working at a kindergarten with 400 kids some time back and the school was raided by the FAP and MOE.


The full-time South African teacher who taught the full-time English classes was hiding up on the rooftop. He only had a visitor visa to be in Taiwan. Turns out a competitor school complained about the illegal teachers at our school. [/quote]

[quote]It’s 1:30am and after interrogating us, making us wait, and feeding us supper(BK), we write up a statement with the police and are asked to sign the document in Chinese.

For all those people who said, “You shouldn’t have signed!”, I know that I shouldn’t have, but after 8 hours in there with pressure from your boss and the police saying that it’s okay, don’t worry, why don’t you trust us, and them threatening to re-interrogate me and/or deporting me that night, you’d crack too. They also said that at this point, the boss has to pay the fine and that’s it.

So I signed.

Fast forward to November 2nd, I get THE LETTER. [/quote]

[quote]Just five days into my “training” I was told that one of the preschools needed a teacher immediately. When I asked if the fact that my work permit had not been processed yet was a problem, I was assured it wasn’t. I was placed at the preschool in Shilin.


I started teaching on August 27th and the first day of the new semester was September 1st. On that day I was in the middle of teaching the alphabet when a fellow foreign teacher rushed into my classroom telling me to run. I was confused and stood like a deer in headlights. Obviously my reaction was very delayed. He quickly pulled me out of my room. The following happened all at once. I saw some teachers running out the back door. There were several men tramping up the stairs. There were flashes of light as our picture was taken. I could hear them saying, “Stop teacher!” Those of us that did not escape were escorted downstairs. The director and I exchanged glances and I searched her face for an answer to what was going on. The men were foreign affairs police and they had accompanied officials from the government who were conducting raids on schools. We were taken out of the preschool to the police station and asked to make a statement. The reality is that on October 1, 2003 the Ministry of Education declared it illegal for foreigners to teach English in preschools (ages 3-6).


The following day the owner of Kojen, Mr. Hou, and his son, Jason, came to the school. * * * We were assured that nothing could happen to us personally. The truth was that nothing could happen to the teachers whose work permits were valid and processed. * * * However, having no work permit at all, I alone was in danger of being deported. After the incident, Mr. Hou patted me on the back for being “so smart and saying all the right things.” I was told that my work permit would be in my hand soon and that there was nothing to worry about. Soon after that a more secure door was installed at the school with an alarm to warn us when to run. These raids happened a few other times in the following months.


One afternoon in December I was called into the head office. I sat down at a table with my director, Mr. Hou, his son, and some other administrative people. They told me that they had talked to their lawyers and it was no longer safe for me to stay in Shilin. Apparently they thought the government would come back looking for me in particular. I was to be removed in two weeks. [/quote]

[quote]A brief overview on what happened to my friend:
He is working entirely legally at a buxiban. He did a friend a favor and substituted a class a couple of months ago. The police came. They acted extremely friendly and simply asked him to sign a few documents in Chinese. They said everything would be ok. The police and owner of the school also asked him to please write a statement in English saying he was substituting classes. He, quite innocently, did as he was told.

Everyone said it was ok and nothing would happen. Two months later, he receives a letter saying he needs to leave the country in 14 days. [/quote]

[quote]We’d known for quite some time that the local foreign affairs police were beginning to crack down on illegal foreign teachers. Back then, in 1991, that was about the only kind there were. I was unique in the area because I was actually applying for a work permit. But when Fabulous Freddy, the underling foreign affairs officer, deported his first victim after taking her out for dinner the night before, I stopped teaching immediately and told the boss I wouldn’t start until I was officially legal.

After 3 days of losing money, the owner of the school had a chat with the head of the local police department and worked out a deal that allowed me to teach until I got my work permit sorted out. So when I walked into the classroom I was more at ease than I had been for some time. Apparently the laoban hadn’t spoken to the right people.

The police didn’t use lights or sirens when they raided us, slipping through the reception staff with barely enough shouting to tip me off that something was amiss. Panicked, I decided to try to make a break for it, slipping out the door in front of a classroom full of students and hightailing it up the stairs toward my bedroom. What a sight that must have been.

Sometimes in dreams when I’m running away from something I just can’t seem to get my feet under me. The harder I try, the worse it is. That’s what my trip up the stairs was like. My feet slipped out from under me halfway up to the landing, and I had just managed to get them back under me when the police shouted for me to stop. I did.

That was probably my worst teaching experience.

I was on an airplane out of Taiwan by mid-afternoon the next day. [/quote]

And one situation which is apparently ongoing:

[quote]Hey all,
Would appreciate any advice. Today a CLA official came to do an unannounced inspection at my school. I have an ARC but for another branch of the same school. [/quote]

I really doubt that anybody being kicked out of the country thought it was much of a blast. I have to wonder about the people who read these stories for their own amusement. It isn’t particularly funny for those involved. And to anybody who says ‘If you don’t want to get in trouble, don’t break the law’ please make sure you are in a position to cast stones first.

Yeah, that’s me, really amused by deportation.

That’s me, too, always casting stones.

I used to try to explain my posts, but I’m just not up for that now.

On the bright side, I did take two potentially useful learning experiences from this thread: (1) I learned that the people who say Americans don’t get irony are probably for the most part right; and (2) I gained a deeper understanding of some aspects of the Zain Dean thread(s).

Anyway, I hereby give up trying to communicate with you, as well as with the others in this thread. As far as I’m concerned, the floor is yours and theirs, sir.

I hate cry babies and I think someone who goes around reporting illegal teachers are nothing more than that.
That being said, I have to smile at your arrogance. You minored in Early Childhood Development. That does not make you a kindergarten teacher. Had you majored in it and actually had some observed practice and experience that would be another matter altogether. Dingo Deans made a nasty comment that got sent to the temp forum claiming I claimed that their degrees are worthless. I never said that. Your economy or philosophy or business degree does NOT qualify you to teach kindergarten and that is why the law is what it is. Now many people get away with it. That does not make it right.
I have a student that joined my Buxiban (which I own) that spent 3 years in a whole language kindergarten. This kid did not know his name, how old he was and battled with naming colors. I can live with that but his Chinese (1st language) is a joke. His mother wasted her hard earned money on a very committed teacher who had no idea what he was doing. Not the first time I have seen it.
You still think it is a “basic human right” to teach kindergarten? These kids have a basic human right to have education in their 1st language and you cannot supply that. Sorry. No-one thinks it’s funny if anyone gets deported, but the law is the law and as much as you might not like it
 I agree with it.

It hits close to home because there was a case not so long ago of a guy in Taichung sending secret pictures of fellow English teachers to the police. The teacher who got in trouble (and deported?) was a co-worker of a friend, he sounded like a nice guy who got taken advantage of then just happened to get in this asshole’s crosshairs. After some info trickled in from other people I realized the mole had briefly rented an office in the building where I work. He always did seem creepy but not THAT creepy.

I have very little sympathy for people who work illegally and get deported but one foreign English teacher ratting out another is just sickening.

It makes no difference to me because I’m not an English teacher and don’t work illegally but since this went off I don’t feel like saying much of anything to any new foreigners in town.

I have an announcement to make :grandpa: :

Ahem.

I, Whole Lotta Lotta, actually reported an illegal teacher to the equivalent of the Foreign Affairs Police when I was living in Korea. My reason for doing that was simple; He beat up his girlfriend in my apartment.
My point in bringing this up is that I do not think that just anybody has a right to be a teacher here. There are people who I think have no business teaching here. The guy I got in trouble was a danger to everybody around him and needed to be dealt with. There are some people who have absolutely no business teaching anybody anything.

Do I think people have a basic human right to teach kindergarten? No. Not if they are not suitable to be around children or if they can’t find a place that will employ them.
What I am saying is that parents have the right to educate their children in the way that they choose. And if they wish to have a foreigner teach their children in English, that should be their choice and not the government’s. However, some in the government wish to make that choice for them.

I would be for some government regulations. For example, I think it would be a good idea for them to do criminal background checks in your home country, before you come over here and work with children. I have no problem requiring teachers who teach in public high schools to have teaching credentials from their home countries.

I am glad that you brought up an actual experience with a child who was screwed up about his experience with ‘whole language learning’ because it is the first I have ever heard of. It would seem to me that if teaching children English in English were so detrimental to their language development, then this island should be simply crawling with kids who are screwed up in the head about English, because it is still being taught at many kindergartens around here. Yet, this place isn’t crawling with children who are confused about Chinese and I think the story you mention is unusual. I know of many children in my neighborhoood who go to kindergartens where English is taught and they are doing just fine. I rememember when I was teaching at a kindergarten illegally, I thought the teachers there were some of the most professional and dedicated I had ever seen. They were certainly better teachers than the idiots I had to deal with at the completely legal job I had prior to that. I would wager that the majority of teachers teaching Kindy illegally did not get their degree in masturbation from the university of oral sex, like you said. Most of them probably care quite a bit about the children they are in charge of. Most of the children I worked with for that year came out nearly fluent in English and it affected none of their Chinese ability.
On the other hand, I would say the people who are most likely the people who should not be around children are the ones who are doing the turning in of others. I knew the guy who turned another teacher in here in Taichung, and he is not somebody the school should have hired in the first place. In my personal case, my girlfriend was a psycho bitch who just wanted to get back at me. It is the people pointing fingers at others who have three fingers pointing back at them. It is them who are suspect, most of the time.
However, like I said above, if you know of a teacher who is abusive, by all means turn them in. You owe to yourself and the people this person may be putting in danger to do so. I just doubt people’s reasons are so benevolent in most cases.

So you reported him for illegal teaching? That’s weird. Why didn’t you report him for assault?

This was Korea and the police don’t respond too well to domestic disturbances. They just take it as an issue between him and view it as an issue between him and his girlfriend. Plus the girl, having abused partner/stockholm syndrome would have stood up for her boyfriend when the police arrived. I was lucky to get them both kicked out.

Reason enough then. :unamused:

Any rat fink, most especially some foreign agitator wot apparently takes great delight in turning in their own kind, deserves all the eventual comeuppance that will surely be applied by The Great Wheel upon which we all turn. Some silly kant that turns somebody in for something so mundane as being a supervised class clown (in English) to a bunch of five or six year olds has serious control-freak issues, and should be put in the public stocks and pelted with rancid fruit and vegetables for no less than five consecutive days. After which, they should be sterilized to prevent their vile noxious nosy inklings from further polluting an already precarious pool.
Huzzah!

P.S. I will be opening an illegal kindergarten next week at #41 Bakayaro Boulevard, Lane 69, substandard path 4F, paddy #3.5, Yang Gwei-Ze Village, GanNien County.
All rat finks are hereby invited to batting practice, upon the condition that they bring a heavy duty canvas bag, and a shovel. All other implements shall be provided.

Or Swiss. Or both. Or is that a misnomer?

In my opinion a job’s a job. If people need to grass kindy teachers up in order to earn a living then that’s what they have to do.

Seriously though, nobody is doing it (barring that daft prick in Taichung) and anyone who did would at best get ignored by the relevant authorities and at worse not get ignored (which is what happened to the daft prick in Taichung).
