KOTESOL tries really hard to help teachers better themselves. Why are you knocking such a sincere non-profit organization?? They are there to help you. Some of the people who run these conferences put in endless amounts of blood sweat and tears. Why not say thanks??  You know, it is hard to keep continuity with the expats who volunteer and people who have been running the show for years do their best to pick up slack. It isn't easy running such a show. A lot of the higher ups practically dedicate thier lives to this organization; trying to help ESL teachers gain know how. These posts make me upset. Why not try and be thankful? And if you know so much about running a good show then why don't you join and volunteer? Help them out. Become the conference chair and put on the best conference ever and do a better job rather than flapping your gums here. So easy to sit and criticize rather than help out, eh? If you volunteer, then you can understand better what the organization faces during these conferences. And I think they did a great job this year. In fact, they do a geat job EVERY year. |
Uh what color is the sky in your world? Why did you put the publishers (who are among the major sponsors of the conference) out in tents instead of having tables near their rooms? why did a publisher get into a major argument with your conference people when they tried to take away the room they bought for the entire conference? Why was preregistration a clusterf*ck? Why did you demand only cash at onsite registration? Why did not have room numbers in your program for your major presenters?
well it was our last one and am glad we won't have to deal with these clowns again, good riddence |
you you you ?
me me me?
Um maybe you should take a pronoun course. I am not KOTESOL nor am I working for them. Just saying.
Go do a better job yourself Ask them these questions personally and bring it up at a meeting if you are so good at running conferences. And why are you making them look bad when they don't even do this for profit????

They don't do it for profit? Where does all the money go? |

Me thinks they do it as an opportunity to pad their resumes and/or egos. There-in lies the payback.
Note: If someone does a bad job, they need to be told. I think it's called 'feedback'. LOL at the "well, do a better job yourself". Sounds like a "love it or leave it" argument.
