Silverboy sounds like a know-it-all. Anyone who acts like a know-it-all, usually knows very little.

Courtney, while nothing would please me more then to agree with you, afraid I must disagree with your logic. Firstly, to know a lot means you know nothing, or very little? Ah, you make the distinction that he "acts" like he knows a lot, hence knows very little. Not much difference, and honestly, you clearly don't spend much time on this board. While a very angry person with some very clear biases, the person you speak of does seem to know more than a little about the ESL world; likely born out of having to deal with people like yourself.

As for a school called "carrot" I would have to say that the only carrot is probably the one they promise you and use to lead you where they want you to go. Tutoring over the phone? You must be kidding.
