Darren, I wasn't quite sure of who you were criticizing in your blog. Was it Fountain school or the teachers at Fountain, who may have TEFL or ESL credentials which are different than yours? Are you just pumping up your own chest saying; look at me! ... I have a P.G.C.E., and I'm better than you ...! Just because you have these credentials don't make you any better than a teacher who has a TEFL certificate. How can you blatantly criticize someone who studied hard to get their TEFL, that they don't mean anything. You can have all the degrees and certificates in the world, but that doesn't necessarily make you a better teacher than someone who doesn't. It you come across as a pompous ass, then your students won't like you or regards you as a good teacher, and then your P.G.C.E. credentials mean nothing!
