Now we are stuck with him.

Some rich parent who has guanxi with our Wuxi, China school has a useless, spoiled son who we have to babysit .  This boy has been enrolled in various programs in our school earning the hatred of any foreigner who has to deal with him.  Last year, he was a VIP student who was either uninterested, unprepared or late for class.  This year he was enrolled in our VIP IELTS (or is it EILTS?) program and would show up late or occasionally (his excuse was he was watching the NBA playoffs).  Now, our IELTS (or EILTS) program is VIP and expensive for a reason.  The foreigners who run the program had to insist,   against the wishes of the president and vice president of our school,  that the boy be kicked out of the program or risk ruining its' integrity.

The head of the IELTS program told me yesterday that now our department is stuck with this spoiled brat.  I haven't the heart to tell the other trainers yet.  I can only hope and pray that this little Chinese prince does not show up for any of our classes.
