Advice to schools hiring native speakers [13]
Dudelz knows my style very well, dt, so I let sb else in to coin my pet phrase. He is a really composed chap and a patient teacher. I expected nothing short of what the OP contains. It is true that schools have run into 'transitional' teachers who are on the rebound from sth else. However, schools have to play the very game which they themselves got themselves into. They want to cream the profits but, as in all businesses, there is an element of risk. They often end up with teachers that are between things and, well, with all manner of other issues like stinkiness, vanity and downright unprofessionalism. Bosses can't expect an easy ride and I'm glad a certain Zbig, a fellow dudelz knows, was put through his paces. They chose to make teaching a big business so they must accept the rollercoaster ride. My dad and I really take a firm line against the business element of it and we believe in the purity of the teaching ethic.
So, well done dudelz in being light-hearted and satirical. You are truly a testament to old, valued British notions and wit :)
