The Return of MRA

The other day, I received a strange, yet intriguing email from a teacher whom currently works at Morgan Rothschild Academy. She admitted that she had read my blog prior to moving to Shanghai to work for Morgan, but she had convinced herself that it could not have been as bad as I made it out to be... I can understand her position. Several people had warned me about his school, and I even knew of several people that had broken their contracts to leave MRA, and yet, I believed that it couldn't possibly be that bad, and I couldn't pass on the opportunity to move across the world and teach abroad. Although this teacher had gone into MRA with an open mind, she soon discovered the reality and in fact, I was not just some crazy cry baby of a teacher with an unjustified hatred for the director.

Now the most interesting part to me is that I have always thought that my blog was unsearchable. I mean, it is not like it is private, but I once had a friend warn me about the censorship in China, and since I was consistently talking shit about their corrupt educational government, I decided to keep it on lock instead of having it shut down. So I asked how my blog had been discovered? Morgan made damn sure that we were not in contact with any of the future employees of MRA so that we couldn't corrupt them, so I was not sure how she would have found me, my blog, or my email address. Turns out that when she was offered the job at MRA, she did a google search, and low and behold, there was my blog staring her right in the face. She began reading it, and apparently, so did several other perspective teachers. She told me that Morgan lost several other teachers because of my blog, and that Morgan has cracked down and become a bit paranoid because of the things that were said in my blog - I can only assume that Morgan is aware of my blog and has even read it. GOOD!

Even thought this was never my intention for my blog, I am glad that other teachers have stumbled upon on it, and discovered the truth about MRA before committing a year of their life to him. I feel as though I am responsible for saving a part of their soul! I do not regret working at MRA because of the children, and I believe that it made me a stronger person and a better advocate for teaching, and it also got me where I am today - at a much better school - but I do wish that Morgan and his "school" would disappear forever.

SAVE THE TEACHERS - SAVE THE CHILDREN!
