And I suppose your "well qualified" innuendos have any idea what it takes to get a master's degree: the classes and a whole library to read, the teaching (the whole second and third year), the creative writing courses to come close to the galaxy of a dissertation, etc. Have you ever taken an hour long oral examination to begin with?
Since I seriously don't think you have any college training, you obviously got no idea what you're saying. A MA in English from a top school will dwarf any teaching certificate and knowledge in the TESOL matter.


While I'm happy to let you find out for yourself how far an MA with no teaching certificate and no knowledge of TESOL will get you there is just one thing which I don't understand:
You say that you went to Harvard and took the AM in English and American Literature and Language, you also say that you spend the whole of the second year teaching but Harvard's website says that "Students begin teaching in their third year." Obvously you won't be lying and have been tripped up, it must just be a mistake. So, who is mistaken here? You or Harvard?

haha, i'm so sorry bindair, but i can't help myself.....

you sound like such a pompous ass.

I highly doubt little 12 year-old Przemek Zgubytski cares whether or not you got your precious MA from Harvard or "Joe Schmoe's School of English." I work in the Biotechnology field so I am surrounded by Ph. d's in the lab, and although most of them are incredibly bright and innovative individuals, most of them can't communicate what they know, they can just do. Just because you played for a professional baseball team, doesn't mean you can pitch.

and another thing....you write very well, almost too well for your own good. whether you write that way because it's the way you write or perhaps because you want to impress (and judging by your previous posts, I can't quite rule out the latter), your constant innuendo-playonwords-playonwords-idiom-playonwords-innuendo candence you display on this forum can be downright exhausting. I have a tough time keeping focused on how you express yourself sometimes Bindair, I can only hope your students don't share the same frustration.

Bindair, you need to stop using this forum as your personal bugal. You're a smart girl and obviously intuitive, just tone it down a bit and use this forum for what it is meant for....helping newbie's like me successfully get a good job in Poland. For the most part I enjoy reading your posts, just try and harbor all that energy into something a little more positive.
