Just working my way through this thread, but HAD to stop on that one.
No offense here marmite, but you are arguing BOTH that qualifications for teachers here are a waste of time AND that the level of English of kids comming out of government schools is very low.
Do you think that, by some remote chance, the two are actually connected?? The widespread practice of unqualified, fresh off the plane "teachers", whose only qualification is that they SPEAK English attempting to TEACH english might be why those kids standards are so low??
