No, I think I wrote my last post really clumsily, I am in fact a big supporter of, LondonGirl, and I hope the moderators allow me to correct the wrong impression I gave when I wrote a too hurried a post.

What I meant to say was this. One doesn't have to really love teaching to teach and do a good job of teaching in China. I don't like teaching but it allows me to live in China and do the other things that I do enjoy, like climbing mountains and talking and practising my Mandarin with ordinary Chinese people,far away from the school or university.

As far as the Seedy-Six is concerned, I have never actually met their likes in any of the schools I have taught in. I do not agree with their behaviour; however ,I have seen relationships develop unintentionally between FT's where no predatory behaviour was intended. I hoped to discuss my differences with LondonGirl on this forum but she seems(her posts) seem to have abruptly and mysteriously gone missing today. Perhaps she is too busy.

Whereas the Seedy -Six [edited] I think it is possible that one or more of them could be, technically speaking, good teachers. This was another possibility I would have liked to have discussed with Clyde as well....but he is also missing so far today. Perhaps they are both out on a picnic together.

Sorry once again for my badly written and misleading post, and hope you will still be able to offer me your support. I will e-mail this to LondonGirl, in case the Moderators decide to not include this post.
