[edited] You denigrate areas of teaching you know precious little about as if you were an authority on, all the while supporting the sub-standard attitudes of your cronies towards teaching practice! Having your ego stroked is more important to you than educating yourself about an area you know nothing about and instead turning threads that could be helpful to green teachers in to yet another opportunity for you to rant about places you also know nothing about!

You tell so many stories, your experience changing depending on the thread de jour, that the only thing credible about you any more is that you are clearly not a native speaker, most recently evidenced by your correction of Somebody's "to each their own" which is a perfectly acceptable phrase!

That you trot out your nonsense as if you were in some way an authority on all things ESL is disgraceful.

And I see no reason to be friendly towards somebody who takes every opportunity possible to be derogatory about an area of teaching I love. No, if you want to put yourself in the firing line by implying I am in dome way scamming my students because I am happy pulling faces with my little ones in order to build trust and engage them with me, then you will be treated with the utter contempt your opinions deserve.
