Well done. I hope all the hard work will be worth it.

donmeurett · 16-12-2007, 09:23 AM

That's the end of nine months of fucking hard slog.

Hope you use better and proper English when you teach.

good for you!

mrsquirrel · 03-03-2008, 05:44 PM

Now you can take over CMN's job as a true language consultant.

klongmaster · 03-03-2008, 05:53 PM

congrat Benners:

lots of hard work in that and I'm not sure you'll see the financial benefit here in Thailand...

however it does make you employable anywhere in the world which has its advantages...

I reckon about 300 quid personally, although the total cost was nearer 2,000 quid. I get a small pay rise which means in about 8 months I've covered my outlay.

Sir Burr · 04-03-2008, 04:29 PM

Congratulations benbaa.

WooHoo To You!

Nine months? That's all an MA takes in the UK. Wouldn't an M.ed open a few more doors for you than a delta?

Bottom line was if I did the DELTA:

(a) my employer would pay;
(b) I could keep working and get all my observations with students I already know in familiar classrooms;
(c) I had two guys on hand to help who'd done it in the previous 2 years;
(d) the DELTA gets me a bigger bump in pay than an M.Ed would do with my current employer, and I've no short- or medium-term plans to move jobs;
(e) another colleague has just finished a Master's degree and he's spent more than 2 years and a lot more money on it than I've spent with the DELTA. I liked the idea of the DELTA's fixed deadlines as I'm a lazy sod at heart;
(f) I like teaching and I don't like managing, so I'm not sure why I'd want to do an M.A or M.Ed.
