I just want to know about Smith's School of English and PaulH has had a fit rather than providing comments.

Crazy.


Funny, I just made a post telling you my experience and advice with relation to Smith's and you have completely ignored it, preferring instead to attack PaulH.

Seems pretty clear that you have no interest in people giving you information about Smith and are just here to libel PaulH.

Total B.S.

I read your post. But it was difficult to see with all of Paulh's post's of "read Bearcat"...

Stop spinning boys. I just want to see some opinions HERE.

Does anyone have any firsthand experience with Smith's?


Who is this "Bearcat" that people keep PMing me about...

Calling..."Bearcat"....who are you???

Pretty simple stuff....

(Paulh please stop sending me crude and nasty personal messages... it's just sad)

So, going over the 5 foot nothing trolls in bad marriages...

WHAT DO YOU ALL THINK ABOUT SMITHS SCHOOL OF ENGLISH?


I may be overlooking something here, but the only reference to this "bearcat" person that you are so paranoid about are in your own posts.

Smith's school of English is a questionable, at best, franchise eikaiwa. Why would someone pay to buy a unknown, to students, franchise? For half the money, you could just rent a room near the station and get a sign. Boom, you're an English school.

D.O.S., were you actually attacking PaulH based upon his height? How old are you? I'm guessing that your next post will contain somthing like "My dad could beat up your dad!! Nanny Nanny Boo Boo!!"

You know our browsers and IP addresses, wow!

Paul, you should take your advice, you've been busy feeding trolls lately. Laughing

Obviously DOS is trolling here, he claims to be in Japan 20 years yet he has never heard bad things about Smith's? Then anything that is said ends up being personal attacks.

You hear good and bad things about schools all the time.

I'm wondering if anyone has any personal experience with Smiths.

I dont know how to put in English that you can understand. Current or former franchisees dont post on Daves forum. The ones that are current franchisees are either brainwashed, or too scared to speak out about theie experiences. The only one I know of who posted on here is a guy called Scott Spargo a former manager and he quit being owed over a million yen by Smith's. I met him and he told me about the school and Mark in person. Maybe you can do a search and look for his posts. They wont tell you anything here you would want to hear anyway.

What do you want to hear, rah-rah success stories of happy successful franchisees?

Thank you Paul. I found your PM'S to be helpful.

Interesting. But I'm going to do my own investigation.

After reading all that I have no idea why you would still be interested, unless you have a fetish for self abuse and masochism or you like gawking at car wrecks.

Most people run in the other direction, except you.
