Yeah, 4 minutes to Eastenders! And then Holby City.
When I start my Turkey TEFL fanzine I will be sure to include you. |

Stupid quote function. The following is in reference to where Entrailicus wrote "Define backpackers."
Ok, you're right. I'm guilty of making a sweeping generalization that insults a lot of decent teachers/people who use backpacks.
Maybe 'tourist teachers' would be more appropriate-- those who travel around using teaching as a means to do this, but have no real investment in the profession, and who don't pack their trash out when they go. They don't have any intention of staying abroad once they grow up-- teaching and travelling is just a stop-gap between university and what they consider 'real jobs'. They don't learn the language and they engage in all those behaviors inside and outside work that make the rest of us look bad. You can't really be friends with them because they'll just pick up and leave in 8 months anyway.
This doesn't include some of the excellent, invested teachers I know who just don't really want to settle down anywhere, those kind of professional expats who are great while their here, but I'm still a little sad that they went away. This also doesn't include those who started as backpackers and stayed on to make their careers and lives here.
How to ban them? It'll never happen. I just won't sit at their table at Yeşil Cafe.
Though I suspect as the overall level of English in Turkey improves, the quality of teachers will improve with it... |

| Usually I can do it ok, but lately they've been coming out as something even 31 hasn't achieved, where the quoted part doesn't have a box, and everything I write is in a box. I have no idea how I'm causing this. It won't let me fix it. It's some bass-ackwards quote that I really don't care for, not one bit. |
