Smeg has his flaws (as we all do), but sticking his hand in your pocket while he tells what a helpful and good guy he is isn't one of them.

Smeg has always been ok with me, even in the days when I was "required" to follow the ajarn troops.

But he isn't selling anything and that's the difference between him and the snake oil boys.

I appreciate Smeg's continuous effort to point out to us the gross error of our ways and his unflinching commitment to lead us all to a more fruitful life by telling us all just how shit it is at the moment.

Anybody who expects to be paid for anything is a devil worshipper and a con artist. Only those people who work for now't can be trusted. I have learned this much from other people ever since I went into business.

I strongly suggest burning Wayne Rooney and Christiano Ronaldo at the stake now. Use Margaret Thatcher for kindling.

Can you give me ONE SPECIFIC example of how TEFL International has ever done anything dishonest or disreputable?

There are people who will complain about anything. Luckily, our actual students have very rarely complained about our course. We have had approximately 13,000 students worldwide in the last 10 years. Five percent of them have failed to complete the course. If you think about it, the internet should be flooded with complaints just from those 5 percent.

No, that pretty much pertains to you and a very few people who have been making baseless accusations based upon no evidence whatsoever for a few years now. I think you and a few others are stupid. Most people have moe than a few brain cells.

I deal with sane people fairly. All of TW was crap. there were two real complaints in the whole 100 page crapfest.

Camel, stupid is as stupid does. you JUST PROVED IT. What a moron.

Everyone sells something. If you go to work every day, you sell your ability to do your job to your boss and co workers. You sell yourself when you try to meet (or keep) a girl. I could go on and on.

Some of you few just seem to think the fact that TI sells something and has done it successfully is proof enough we are doing something dishonest. it isn't.

Others point to accusations and rumors. Give me some facts, boys. I am happy to discuss facts.

right now 90 percent of the crap on the internet is from Whitey and quotes from TW. Very few people actually complain about our course. Most are very happy with it and thats why we are brave enough to have our end of course feedback available ONLINE and UNEDITED.

I didn't go to TW much but I saw quite a few schools on the posting I knew from experience were spot on. I posted two schools myself. I like black listings. They're a counter force.

I have no dog in this fight, but will throw my two baht in anyway.

Bruce seems like a bit of a used car salesman (snake oil salesman might be a closer description actually) to some extend, and yes he and others have tried to make everyone believe a four-week wonder course makes a common dolt into a “teaching professional.” But, hey whatever, I say let the market decide. If people find value in Bruce’s product he will stay in business and prosper, it not, his business will fail. Just because I would find no value in it does not mean others won’t.

Appears most of the anti-Bruce crowd are just the usual bunch of loser-whiners whose main complaint is Bruce has made some money while they have not. I sure there are both satisfied customers and dissatisfied customers of these four-week wonder courses, but a few rants by the “usual suspects” is hardly evidence one should base a decision on.

The market seems to be turning to L2s.

I think Bruce, with all his admiration for Holt, should turn his business around to a non-school teacher training program. If the school systems are damaging and boring children why be part of it by training teachers who will only damage and bore kids, instilling in them a fear of attending classes?
