I am happy to add my comments to this thread. My name is Mike Edwards, I have over twenty years experience teaching in a range of education environments in the UK, I am the co-author of 11+ education resources that can be found simply by googling mike edwards tutors, I am thecauthor of a book on success principles that can be found by googling mike edwards natural. Now I haven't spent my time inventing these websites to create avsmokescreen, they are real, I am real, I am easy to find by anyone who wishes to look. jake is a real person, The teachers he has mentioned in his post are real people. hope that clears any credibility or reality issues. I do not need to work, as I receive a reasonable income from commissions and royalty payments, I am in the fortunate position of being able to choosevwhat I want to do. Many of the new teachers I have met read postings on this website before and after applying to SFLS, all these teachersvare exceptionally intelligent because they were able to see through the diatribe of negative comments and assess them as being written by someone who is clearly unprofessional and deserving of any action taken against him. When I was collected from Shanghai airport by the international teacher coordinator I asked him about the comments, his reply was - we don't care what this person says, we just ask people to come to the school and make their own judgements- that was the end of the conversation, and that is the lowvesteem in which this individual is held within the school. Fortunately for me and all the other foreign teachers, the school knows that we are not all like the individual who has been grinding his axe against this school, yesvwe like to socialise, we like to party, but we are responsible enough to have a chill out drink on Wednesday, then get hammered on Friday. Got to get ready to catch the 7.20 bus to the overseas school, I am sober, rationally minded and looking forward to a good day in the classroom where I can interact with the students in a supportive environment, And I am doing that because I want to do it, happy days, life is wonderful
