Heard the guy is actually engaging and those who have met him seem to think he is a pretty good bloke. Go figure ~

I've heard about this. From what I've been told by old Meten teachers that watching a trainer completely off his tits on meth whilst presenting on-line training to teachers was sometimes the highlight of their working week. Apparently away from the camera, he's often a bit cranky (if we are thinking about the same guy?) and will snap at people without having much of a reason to do so. I was told that he was American though, it could be a different guy.
As for the textbooks which I have not had the joy of reading yet; there's said to be delights such as Peter Pan meeting Michael Jordan, a cartoon character with a boner (which my friend did send me a photo of - maybe I'll post it sometime) and a tutorial about giving mouth to mouth resuscitation to a dog, alongside some really pathetic immature drug references.
Meten English has terrible management and is a school that cheats students out of large amounts of money. Students only get a chance use the English that they have already learnt in high school. This is the sad thing about being a meet a foreigner teacher, you have to kiss ass and act rather than teach. that is the meten way, just let the teacher talk for an hour. Chinese students spend so much money and are given terrible books and courses with no syllabus. They learn nothing and never upgrade to higher levels once the meet a monkey excitement has gone
The courses were written by a clown that insults Chinese culture, insults the English language, make stupid sarcastic comments about how stupid Chinese people are and the books are full of drug references and even insult Meten.
The bosses are too stupid to have read the Meten books or understand that a drugged up Canadian was making fun of them and his job (J[edited])
They do not care about teachers. The Chinese staffs are so worried about their jobs they just try to blame foreign teachers for everything. Around 90 percent of foreign teachers do not renew their contract because of the poor local management and terrible teaching material
The bosses of this company just look at sales figures and do not care about their customers’ education or staff morale. They don’t even realize that Chinese managers are terrible by simply looking at the staff and student turn over rate. It has a company culture of fear so no one has even told the bosses the man he employed to write his great books was laughing at him and China.
