How can I truly express my thoughts and experiences when it comes to my time working for ADVETI and IAT? To paraphrase a paraphrase, I think it was Robert Oppenheimer who put it best, I am become death, the destroyer of worlds. Now, replace the word 'worlds' with passion, drive, creativity and professionalism and you are more or less hitting the nail on the head. This company will drain you, it will make you feel as though you are burning at your lowest ebb and then some! The students are a nightmare in human form, the working conditions and total lack of preparation time have left many a good teacher in tears, and the absence of any empathy or compassion from the management bares all the hall marks of a serial killer in the making. The teachers, (not all I hasten to add) are a curious mix of fucktards and social miss-fits, forced through the mincer and mixed together with a large pinch of salt and a slug of cheap imported wine. There is no real bond or sense of acceptance, they are a fractured group of no-marks, too sad to survive back in their home countries and too jaded to try their hand at anything else. The majority of them are the type of kids I used to beat the living daylights out of whilst I was a nipper back in my school days. I often find myself thinking, 'Should I start taking their lunch money?' This place is the pits and the thing is it could be a TEFL paradise, if only the lunatics handed back the asylum.
