A good reason to not let student evaluations affect teachers' salaries or anything else.... Here, anyway.

I'm sure the students didn't say they wanted their teachers to jump around like idiots. They probably said they thought the lessons could be more enjoyable/entertaining.

Fat chance with the new ET coursebook.

Sometimes you have to take what the students say with a grain of salt and vice versa for the teachers. That's why observations are so important.

I will make sure to use compound sentences for you from now on.
By the way, how's your seat on the band wagon? Is it comfortable?

People not working at ET (and IH) don't need to use public transport ... they can afford a bicycle

Are there any DOS's for English First on this board? I heard that they are forcing teachers to go on call without extra pay.

Also, if English Time do encourage heroin usage in their students, and insist that all the teachers drink a glass of thier own urine every morning, how do they account for the millions of dollars they uses to finance the blowing up of the twin towers in New York?

How exactly does an idiot jump? Does he hop?

Are you insinuating that Ms Melly is a double agent?
