That does sound a bit like your average training centre. There's always some oddballs, no
wonder people that work at them go insane.

Hah! Well, to work abroad (or perhaps to work in education or training, in general?) I suspect you need a bit of patience, and also a fair bit of crazy.

It doesn't look like anything of substance has been posted in this thread for a while, so on that note... Has anyone else watched the series "English Teachers" on YouTube? It's satire, and I would recommend it for anyone who has ever worked at (or is interested in working at) a training center abroad.
