As the name of this board suggests, this is one for teachers with posts written by teachers. Most of current regulars like you on here aren't teachers, and if folks like you want to to chat about wristwatches, your kinds, renovating apartments in China or somewhere, or even about certain posters you like or dislike, then do it on an expat board that doesn't focus on teachers. Teachers reading this forum now must think this board is currently useless because of all the drivel and unprofessional stuff, most of which is not related to teaching at all, posted here. You are simply at the wrong place if you post on topics unrelated to teaching on a teachers board.

But I wonder is this type of forum a distraction from doing the things we really should do?
