Sir Dragonized, I have, on occasion, when I had nothing important to do, read these interesting comments. I am sure that many of the people posting are expressing their true feeling, but there are some that use this medium to degrade and harass only because they could not stand up to the job.

As for SFLS, yes there were several individuals claiming to be teachers that were not. I do not think it would be appropriate to give names, but I can say from personal contact and knowledge that those individuals were not accredited in any way. I knew of two who had not even finished high school and created their documents on the internet, one of which was wanted by the Canadian authorities and had been on the lamb for a while in China. He was floating from one ESL job to another before he was either found out or fired for something else. He created many problems for the school and Kevin, writing numerous derogatory threads on this forum and another.

Another teacher, wanted by the Chinese police, who had gotten a job at SFLS actually got into a fist fight with one of the women supervisors. He was arrested and eventually deported to England where, I was told at the time, was wanted by the authorities there.

I am sure there are bad recruiter, bad supervisors and bad schools, but there are also pretenders that are bad teachers and through this very forum try to justify themselves by creating animosity towards the schools and supervisors for which they had worked.

I knew Kevin personally, we didnt always see eye to eye, but he was a good teacher, the kids loved him and he did his best to help the new hires even though he was not always understood or appreciated. I have nothing bad to say about him!
