"So what you're really looking for is not necessarily someone who is certified/qualified/professional but someone who understands how the language works. The latter is not exclusive to the former."
——> 废话 (if you need a translation let me know)
"My suggestion is for you to spend a week or two teaching others and see how able you are. See how excellent and how adept you are at the craft, then get back to us. In all honesty, you don't sound very intelligent so the chances are you'd probably struggle with it."
——> Same here: 废话, lol why would I consider doing what I do not master or being what I'm not ? In contrary to many here, it seems ... Including you, in need to defense yourself againt (like Alien mentionned) what I (not only me actually) consider to be a crappy teachers. I never said I would do the job better than a qualified, unqualified or crappy teacher. I'm quite humble actually, in contrary to others here, Mr Very Intelligent! And I'm already very busy to try to help to find what is considered as a good teacher (qualified or not, like mentionned before)
And if you think one or two weeks are enough to really and deeply get in touch with the reality of teaching, I understand how mediocre you can be, sorry.
"Btw, obviously the school in question cannot hold onto teachers because it is basically not a very good school and this undoubtedly stems from a combination of factors, including pay and the resultant culture of crapness that it inadvertently aims for."
——> Which school are you talking about ? Who said it cannot hold teachers ?
You have a quite strange way to come to a conclusion! Maybe you explain us what's your mind's process, leading you to such a deduction. What was said here is how difficult it is to find foreign teachers you can rely on (and don't tell me about pay or combination of factors, like The Dudeson's said he'd be ready to give quite high salary if he could find the Mr. Right and not all those Mr. Smart like you seem to be —- and I said that I fully agree with him, but like others you obviously come here to dump your imbecility).
"resultant culture of crapness that it inadvertently aims for."
——> Lol again, you have no idea what you're talking about but still dare to come to a public forum to write such a baloney.
Btw, If you created an account just to come here to insult me (personal attack without me having even the time to disagree with you) and the school I'm talking about, by ignoring what or who you talk about, that's quite suspicious to me, and others maybe. Are you here for trolling ? Or to discuss wisely about an interesting topic ? Obviously not!
"Amazing the insecurity of posters who can't handle disagreement without either insulting or getting defensive, as if they have to defend themselves alla time."
——> Totally agree with you Alien. And find it pityfull to have to read all those trolls, mainly insulting and replying lots of nonsense (like I'm probably a Chinese because I used several Chinese caracters that I copied from the one alleging that I'm Chinese O_o (btw, I have nothing against Chinese in general) )
@Tonyaod
Thank you for your contribution (links), quite interesting, but wouldn't it be more interesting to read how you develop you own way of thinking instead of referering to others work ?
Btw, even I do not agree to everything (and that's my right, like yours is to disagree with my points) I found your your previous (long) post quite interesting, in contrary the previous ones.
And I hope it's not you or Dazzer created this new account just and only to come here to insult me here (and actually if one read all the posts it's not just insulting me).
Cheers
