Alot more to come in fact. This year is going to be one of the coldest winters for years. We could loss up to three weeks.

The Lord may have heard you.  
I have to add that it's not fun for all thoses poor sods who still have to get to work some way or other. 
Also, don't forget that alot of teachers at the MC E.T schools will get jack all.  Yet as we all now the school will still count the day as class time. So in effect the teacher gets rolled and the student gets ripped off. 
Not a bad way to earn a crust. |

| I would say he is not even in TEFL: it is an understatement to say he is not happy with his career at this point, and teaching is something that requires a sort of passion, so he does not fit the bill. No, he is completely suitless in every sense of the word. |

I expect you're right there dmb. To be fair Mark may be, and probably is, a fantastic teacher. It's probably because he has a passion for teaching that he has so many gripes. Yes he may moan a lot, but much of time he has a point about the schools.
What will ET do id they have to close the schools for three weeks?
(I will one of those having to find a way to work, probably from home though) |

Not one of your posts has ever shown any interest or passion in teaching. They have all been about you, Dilara and how to replace her. Do ten years in TEFL and let's see your passion. |
