Wondering how you collected the information to support that claim .

Are you suggesting that there is some sort of positive correlation between one's TEFL credentials/experience and one's morals?
My first TEFL job was in a post in the region with zero experience (yes, the bar for entry was very low). I completed my year's contract with absolutely no issues, and was one of only a handful of teachers who were asked to return (I didn't, due to increasing insecurity in the country). All this whilst a colleague with 12 years' experience did a midnight runner. Another with almost 20 years' experience quit after a month. A distinguished gentleman with over 40 years teaching EFL was fired after a few months, due to his perceived inability to teach. On the flip side, a couple teachers with minimal, to no experience, were also dismissed. All this to say that your assertion holds no water, in my humble opinion.

| Based on six years on the ground, in several programs often mentioned here, John. Very un-scientific I assure you. |

Dear Sheik Yerbuti,
"Based on six years on the ground . . "
Well, at least it's not "groundless."

Shouldn't that be, "Based on six years stuck in the sand"?  |
