Though it does not make them the be and and end all of ESL knowledge then now does it?

I take issue not with their criticism of crappy schools. We can all agree on a crappy school when we see one. However, they always just tell people go teach at a University. As if that is the only professional environment that exists in education. Theres no shame in singing songs and playing games if that is what it takes for children to learn. People shouldn't act like that form of teaching is beneath them. There is something to be said for a teacher who can keep the attention of young kids while actually teaching them something.
