This is a for profit school only concerned about making money to further the president's real estate empire.
At AAC, they pay the teachers about $30/hr for class time but don't pay for preparation time.

Commentary
The information above provides some interesting insight. The implication being that $30/hr is not a lot for teachers (and this message is from 10 YEARS AGO!). I agree that it is not, espeically in light of prep time not being paid (which is illegal, btw). However, most ESL teachers teaching at one of the MANY for-profit schools in San Francisco (and elsewhere in the country) would be THRILLED to make $30/hr. Teachers at schools like EC, EF, Embassy, Kaplan, St. Giles and others make far less. They make anywhere from $20 to $25/hr. Most make closer to $20. It's crazy. Teachers work hard and are not properly compensated. Meanwhile, these schools/corporations are raking in the dough. We have to make them accountable for their bank accounts and spread the wealth among their most valuable assets. What is a school without teachers? It is not a school.
