"So you admit to having 'methods' that don't really work."
When you learn to read, please point our where I said that. (But if you'd like to drop the strawman arguments, we can continue.)
"Why have any of these methods in the first place?! What you mentioned just suggests to me that your methods simply represent unorganised and inconsistent planning. You are welcome to try to explain your methods in depth and try to prove me wrong."
I have better things to do than explain the decades of university SLA research to you. Again, go learn to read, then read it yourself. His name is Stephen Krashen.
(I'm not providing Jules an "extension number" his lazy self can easily go look up on his own, and I'm certainly not doing the same for you.)
"But, it seems that have admitted that it is so much of a mess that you struggle to even find the correct words to describe it!"
"...that have admitted that..."? I'll make you a deal - Prove to me that you're a competent ESL teacher and I'll cut and paste all the stuff you requested above. LOL.
(And thanks for proving a point I made in another comment that some ESL teachers are just not fit to do the job. Really....thank you.)
"Also, when a teacher shows concern about the state of the curriculum, you don't care. I think
that will put off quite a few decent teachers!
The least he should do is refer him to the right people! When I start work at any new
company, it can be expected for people to at least give me an office extension number
even if they are just being lazy. After all, we are all supposed to be working on the
same team, right?"
Let me tell you what is "lazy" - Not looking up a number or email address that is readily available to you, and you readily know about, on multiple internal company directories already. It's also stupid (the SM isn't going to stop everything he's doing to wipe your nose, so you're just prolonging the process by not taking initiative). I'm a manager, not a maid.
And no, when you make more unnecessary work for me (that you can easily do yourself), we're not on the same team. You're working against me. And when you quit the company, we're definitely not on the same team.
Fact - Jules didn't care about WSE. He thought he was the smartest person in the room, and nobody could penetrate that frail little belief of his. Our company culture, just by way of operating, deliberately weeds out these kind of people. It's no mistake he's gone.
Fact #2 - There are a lot of great teachers at WSE that are very happy. It's not an accident that we're one of the largest ESL employers in the world (and in China), that we pay near the top of the range, our teachers are well-trained, and the overwhelming majority complete their contract (average teacher tenure = 15 months....so basically, one-fourth renew for another year on average).
Feel free to complain all you want - we'll stay successful in the meantime. I'm absolutely certain that all your complaining on an obscure internet forum is having a direct impact on serious world issues. It might even save the whales one day!
