I assume you meant expectations.

You might want to check your writing before attempting to put down an entire group of people working in the trenches of language teaching.

I would hope that we might focus on the message and not on the person.

Is it necessary to "out" the person and to comment upon his grammar, etc., etc., when there is so much in the message itself which deserves attention.

HFG

Moderators, what do you think?

Borderline, I've never worked for EF so can't comment on your choice of employer. Hope it works out for you. I was curious though, will this be the first time you worked in China?

HFG, the "message" is surely that of a troll. Are you suggesting dealing with it on a serious basis, or is this just another case of "call in the moderators" every time I post? I'd respectfully suggest moderator attention might be better spent looking at the original post, and the lies and slander contained therein.
