Thread: TEFLers who don't have a clue how poorly paid they are

I think it is someone who takes the job seriously (not those only going through the motions and veiling their incompetence so they can hit the gogobars every weekend) and is capable of operating to some performance benchmark level.

Another stalking cretin goes onto ignore

But just what is the bench mark level? Being able to do up a pair of shoe laces? Being able to get out of bed?

If the question was "who can?"
I'd say people who have gone through the training, got the experience, world wide, achieved some standing in the teaching community, been acknowledged by their peers and demonstrated an ability to objectively assess and report.

On the basis of what's been put forward in the various threads presented here I'd say Mr. Stretch is about only one.

Besides myself of course, but I've retired so "NA NA NA"
