econd is the foreign teachers:
Working there with the foreign teachers are difficult to contend with as well. they will come off as friends but all at the same time they are exploiting you so they can make problems in your work life such as relationship there is like they worry youll be more successful teacher than them, more liked by the students, I believe its a jealously thing Im not sure about their actions honestly. Telling students lies so they wont like you, making you look folish in english corners.

Sounds a right dive. Turnois advice is good about involving the authorities.

Yes, we tend to forget about the problems that other FT's can give us , don't we. [edited], even if other things are not bad. I have never had FT's trying to make me look stupid but I have seen it happen and it can get very bad indeed. It can be a dog eat dog world among FT's trying to be popular by making another FT look bad. Be good to hear more about this type of occurrence.

English corners are so different in nature. I prefer the lecture type where you stand up and drone on for 50 minutes. Trouble is with me I can go off of the subject and tend to start droning on about a particular verb-the topic going right out of the window. Silly games type English Corners are a nightmare and that is where you can get a Grovelling Weasel(as Turnoi adeptly puts it) FT trying to steal the limelight and make another look dim.
