Fair point, KW.

Schools that provide housing (paid) for teachers obviously, only want....erm....teachers at the school to live there.

and why would the head/owner know or care about his dying mother?

Steve was visiting his family 1 month before he interviewed and did the demo at this school.

Lung cancer is not quick. It's a slow process in dying (sad to say).

I know a couple people that got lung cancer and died, and they knew it was coming (again, sad to say).

If you fly to interview and demo for a job, and you don't get it, you either:

1. leave, go somewhere else

2. stay in that town/city, and find another living arrangement and job.

Drama Queen.

Yup, I was just going to post that when I saw you'd already said so. Now excuse me while I go and cry for days because there's no bread in the fridge.

Steve Scherzer is mentally unstable. And a faggot.

Isn't the Criminal record check part of the Non Imm VISA application broadly????

I had to supply one.

or did the mentor slip the net or I miss something from the OP?

Although old news his original post was 06' so maybe a recent change..

**phuketbound** · 11-01-2009, 02:43 PM

^I was referring to the fact that AUA does not ask for criminal record checks, and John Wrenshall the Canadian teacher (his mentor) was not asked.

According to the article, "The TEFL Industry, A Rotting, Stinking, Putrid Corpse"

Let's make something very clear. John Wrenshall is not the only person to blame here. Everyone is to blame. Everyone. From the court system who let John down by allowing him to walk free, to the school recruiters who just want their commission on every blond-haired, blue-eyed foreigner they can drag into the classroom, to the language school owners who hired John without checking into his sordid past, to the thousands of EFL teachers out there who don't give a damn about teaching. We are all to blame.

As low as AUA pays, it is still popular, yet still needs to fill spaces. It's a language center.

I think they'd only do the background checks if it was mandatory and enforced by the authorities.

What a stupid statement. I have had my fingerprints sent to the feds in the past. I have brought my University BA, and MA program transcripts with me, in addition to the silly "diploma."

This guy (Steve) needs to get off of his high-horse.

Right, I agree with you. However, why is it not enforced by the authorities? After everything that Thailand has been through, and all the paedophiles that have been caught recently and in the past. Too much effort?

International schools ask for CBC's. That is for sure. I guess it is just easier to get any foreigner to teach. Less hassle?

The much-maligned Teacher's License should require a CBC, but it does not. But the TL does require that teachers attend a Thai culture course.
Thai priorities.

The way they go about things here, you would think they thought the majority of English teaching was done by backpackers and sexpat ex-lorry drivers from Doncaster and the ilk.

Unfortunately I just see an angry loser who takes it out on the fucked-up industry that he is trapped in... And hates it.

"The TEFL Industry, A Rotting, Stinking, Putrid Corpse"

Hate, anger and melodramatics dripping from every sentence... 'Tis almost Smeg-esque in it's delivery.

Not everywhere, this school just needs to show that you've appled for one.

Applicants will also need to submit proof that they have applied for the Criminal Clearance Check from their country of origin.

Fuckin stinkin rotten corpse of an industry.

**Cujo** · 13-01-2009, 08:58 AM

Is it too much to ask these people to treat teachers with more compassion? This is not about teaching anymore.

The guy seems to forget that at this point he's not a teacher to them, just a failed job applicant.

I think I did too

Steve does take a stand. I'll give him that. When Johnny Danger was boasting about being a violent criminal he wasn't afraid to say that people like this have no place in the classroom. People who have a history of violence should at least have the decency to condemn it rather than glorify it. I think forums have a dangerous edge to them: people with the most disgusting views can find large groups of like minded warped individuals who concur with their views. This lead them to believe their aberrant contentions be they paedophilic or violent are actually acceptable to society as a whole.
