It's been two years since I left sya. Pleased to see some of my ex colleagues are still there. Hello Matt, this is Kyri, the oversized British/Greek bloke!

I did one semester with sya. Everything About the job was as described and I always paid on time. Jeff always kept in close contact and Cindy, who I really need to message on FB, was an absolute star.

There were a couple of teachers that had issues with Jeff, the same ones that would self-authorise their own leave, leaving it to others to cover classes.

I have no empathy to offer teachers that come on here and bang on about how terrible Jeff is supposed to be. I don't give a monkey's how much money he makes for his business because it's just that, HIS business. No one threatened to pop me a cap if I didn't sign with him.

I had a great teaching experience working for Jeff. I got on with the job, did my best, finished my contract and left on very good terms. I urge those bent on riding the wagon of hysteria apply that energy on moving on and bettering ones self. Life's too short.

Sadly, there's no point in trying to express that I'm not out to 'win' points in this post, so by all means accuse me of being an alias or a lap dog. You'll never know. But any of you are free to email my IF you have anything sensible to ask me.
