| If that was a reference to me, I didn't think taikibansei was being rude or disrespectful. Everyone's personal situation is different, and no two working situations are identical. No-one should have an issue with being asked, politely, to clarify exactly what they mean, so that others can draw their own comparisons and conclusions. (Although, for the record, my background isn't as strong as it may seem, as none of my post-grad qualifications are in any way related to teaching English). |

The name BENDA would put me off straight away. Why would a native English-speaking owner call their school a name like that? Even more, is his name a mickey-take as well? Ted Nutton, for goodness sake?
The fact that it's out in the sticks in Fukuoka raises alarm bells too. Not saying this guy is one of them, but there've been stories of dodgy pervert English teachers in that neck of the woods on and off for years now. Those things in themselves would put me off and make me look elsewhere.
That said, ask Mr. Know-it-all Taikibansei about it. I'm surprised he hasn't chimed in with his vast, superior knowledge of these things. He knows everything there is to know about English teaching the world over, unlike frauds such as myself. |
Frankly speaking, you're there reason Dave's is such an off-putting, dead place these days.
Go grind your axe someplace else, or do it via PM. |

PaulH was quite helpful and even mailed me a free book back in my first year.
He has probably left Japan. Maybe he went to Australia. |
