...have problems in Korea:

This guy gets everything. North Korea and the USA are equivalent. The South Korean school system is perfect and encourages hard work.

It was vague because any details just weren't coming out right.

1. Most Fts come here thinking they are the boss or saviour of Korean English classes and education systems. Seen it all too often and they just do not get the fact that they were not brought in t be the boss but to do a job. Which is why I oppose such people like Smee. You all just do not get why you are here.

2. Teaching is about the students not you. Over the years almost all I have read by Fts are 'I,I,I,' or 'Me, Me, Me'. Rarely do people think about their students unless it is to talk bad about them. I do not care if it is categorized as 'venting' you are here for the studnets and teaching is about sacrifice and being a good example.

I would be more concerned about your ability to distort what others are saying than with mocking them when they present an observation on something they have observed here for years.

I think that you need to familiarize yourself with the concept of sarcasm.

When does Caledar have time to teach, between all his posting of nasty non-sequiturs. He can't even mourn his student without turning it into a condemnation of foreign teachers.

So if your boss rips you off...that's just an example of the FT "not getting it"?

You make statements that have no veracity or merit. Just by doing a quick search between the person you claim is "the biggest troll on here" to you. You clearly win out

http://forums.eslcafe.com/korea/search.php?search_author=NYC_Gal+2.0

briefly looking through this link there is little to know animosity, verbal attacks, or negative statements made by this persons posts.

On the other hand:
http://forums.eslcafe.com/korea/search.php?search_author=calendar

... on many situations in the various posts made by this person it is clear who has a more negative (generally speaking) attitude on this board. Many of your posts and/or responses do little to improve the overall attitude/s of educator/s here.

Thus, I can only say that you perspective is quite childish and limited to your own personal experiences, without taking into account others have gone through.
