Check out Mr Vincent Ferrandino's final comment. Yawn. Let's get him in front of a class and see how he goes.

Yes, I'm sure he could corral that gang of little monsters. Rolling Eyes

I think that here we try to warn teachers that these kids - especially the boys - can be more than a handful and the conditions in some schools are pretty grim. These ADEC jobs are a crap shoot because of a lack of support from either the Arab teachers or management.

Many Western teachers are shocked to find corporal punishment used in these schools too... but when you hear some of the stories, you do understand. Shocked

One of the requirements for the teachers should be experience in inner city urban schools.

I especially liked to see the local teachers armed with camel sticks rounding up the boys at the corner store after the bell had rung.

They're not thick but they sting!

Mr Fernandez should apply for a job in School Management in the Uk; he has the attitudes down pat....
