Former FT in the PRC

Thanks also for the back-up. 'Amused' [edited]

I won't repeat what I wrote back to Cunning Linguist (you can see for yourself), but whilst many people who write here are happy to deprecate training centres, the obvious difference (IMHO) is that quite often the students who attend training centres go there with their own volition. In other words, they WANT to be taught rather than feel that they are 'forced' to be taught.

I have worked PT in a couple of training centres and have found far less 'lazy' students there than I have found at my school.
