| The business mangager complained that the lack of enrolment was the fault of the teachers.....not quite sure what his job was then. Theyare also advertising that they follow the Enlglish "O" Level syllabus..which is a bit pointless as the o level was abandoned years ago..make of that what you will. |

| Point of information, the O level was only abandoned in the UK. It still lives on in all its glory in Singapore, Brunei, Seychelles and various places in Africa. It should have been put out of its misery many years ago. |

Once again,
Are you a fanatical grammar queen? Your writing makes me want to puke. Have you shed those pounds yet?
It's chips and dip not scoop! (Do you remember the Christmas party?) |

| Considering the purpose of this forum is to discuss ESL it's hardly appropriate of you to complain about proper grammar. |

| I went for a job interview there with the Principal who'd been there 6 months. 3 Days later they fired him and most of his staff without any reason given. Pay and conditions are crap. Oh, and they beat kids with sticks! |

Migo, don't bite. Fred's got a split personality - our very own Dr Jekyll and Hyde on the Hong Kong forum. When he's 'Freddie' he's tolerable; when he's 'Unbelievable' then he's as his name suggests.
He's clearly having an 'Unbelievable' day today. Poor soul. Don't worry Fred, WE STILL LOVE YOU! |

Migo, 21 posts! You have been a member for how many days? Methinks you are Ludwig or Hongkonger!
Thanks Mark. Today I am Freddie. |

No, I just post in every forum that's relevant to me, which is more than just a single country. And I don't know nearly enough about Hong Kong to be either Ludwig or have the name Hongkonger (who I know nothing about) all I know is what my ex-girlfriend told me about it and as she turned out to be a pathalogical liar I'm taking everything she told me about Hong Kong with a grain of salt until I hear it confirmed by a few other people. |
