Thread: Is there a compulsory retirement age for foreign teachers

I've seen coffin dodgers of around 75 teaching and in senior positions at language schools.

Their pasty white legs showing because their trousers are too short is an embarressment.

Worked with an Aussie who was 65 ,no probs for him all about attitude I guess

Wonder if you'll think of yourself as a coffin dodger..but then again, after spending a night out with Smeg, I guess you've already dodged one coffin.

Not if the Teacher is any good and spots the ones who need extra encouragement.

A bit of paper that says that you have learned to do something, because you have been trained by someone who knew better than you, is always worth having. What do you think?

i read over on the other site that about 5% of people do not pass a TEFL course, mainly because they are unsuited for it. (i think it was a TEFL course provider sayign that, so it may or may not be true)

not sure really but it looks like the shits gonna really hit the fan in the uk this year,so its another escape route
