This flyer was passed out to over 130 students at the UBC Job Fair on Friday January 18, 2013. Concerned young teachers shared their bad experiences working at the Tianjin TEDA Maple Leaf International School campus during the fall 2012 semester. One of the teachers sharing her story was a UBC B.Ed graduate and felt especially strong about sharing her experience, so that other UBC graduates do not find themselves in the same bad situation that she was led into by the Maple Leaf recruiters at last years job fair.
