Because it had the air of some kind of set up, especially with Bruce demanding to video it. I instead went for an unannounced look around, and my report on that (dismissed by Bruce as he had no control over it) was in a thread that was banished to MKP some time ago.

But to be honest I haven't given much of a damn about TEFL courses for 2-3 years now, and I read ajarnform for only 5 minutes or so per month. Its slightly interesting now and again, but I really can't be arsed with it. This thread is instead to talk about why the criticism happens (and seems to be much more heated these days).

Now Smeg you know why wanted to video it. You are incapable of being objective with TESOL courses and thats your fault! I just wanted a back up in case you said something that I felt simply was not true (like our delapadated school or our group of very young backpacker trainees).

it is more heated these days because of the lies. It made a big splash when some idiot made up the story that I got him fired from his job. TW is quoted all over the net and people still believe it!
