This page used to show how many teachers reported police involvement, arbitration or mediation, and how cases ended. We removed those numbers. Here is exactly why.
Reading the matches by hand, roughly a quarter were about the topic we claimed to be counting. That is not good enough to publish. A number like "48 teachers reported police involvement" would have been arithmetic on a word search, not a fact about teachers.
We only publish disputes we have actually read, one at a time, and linked to the post. That set is small, and we are not going to pad it with keyword counts to make the page look fuller.
The one dispute with a clear recorded outcome in our verified set:
A teacher describes an international school in Shenyang that stopped paying staff. The case went to labour arbitration, and the teacher won.
Result: resolved in the teacher's favour · source: read the post
Anyone can put a table on a page. The reason to trust a number is that someone checked it. We applied that standard to the salary records and the contract traps — and it caught a number on this page that did not meet it. If a site will not tell you how its figures were produced, assume they were produced the easy way.
