Re: Cameroon and Ethiopa

SJ

Are you seriously comparing Southbeach and Cameroon?

That's rhetorical btw.

Re: Cameroon and Ethiopa

Well, end of conversation. One person lived there without problem for four years so that means it is safe for everyone.

MamfeMan, for some reason all the government travel warnings have not been made aware of your safety story.

You had better send them an email so they can update their incorrect travel warnings.

Re: All Alone Out Here?

Judging from your posts, I think it is your attitude.

Just my 2c.

Re: PYP Convoluted?

My experience has been in upper primary.

The glaring example is that maths does not particularly fit with many of the units of inquiry.

PYP Convoluted?

Hi

Am just approaching the end of my first year in PYP and just as a general comment, I get the impression it over complicates things for young students.

My preference would be to teach stand alone subjects and relate them to the world when there is a natural fit, rather than the other way around.

While I'm not really looking to be convinced that PYP is fantastic, I'd like to know what other types of curricula may suit me better in international teaching?

Thanks in advance

Re: No Need for Car

Any school within walking distance, with the proviso Tedious Pirate does not work there :)

p.s. Female (in the classical sense) is my favourite gender.

Tedious Pirate - As fine dude showed it is a fairly simple question.

No need to show off your ignorance.

Re: Non-competition clauses

Hey

A general principle of law is that a private person (including a business) cannot usurp the law of the land.

So, if the law allows ok, however, if not, they may just be trying to bluff.

To go through the hassle of enforcing this against an individual teacher would be far-fetched, not to mention the bad publicity this can potentially create for the litigious school.

@ chilagringa

Could you please explain to me how my personal preference for femininity in a woman is 'anti-feminism'?

Are women who have a personal preference for masculine men anti-male?

Re: European Pensions

@ chilagringa

Why is it so scary to you that people who have different opinions teach children?

Do you think you should only be allowed to teach if you have the 'correct' opinion?

Just because a teacher has a personal preference for particular type of adult relationship, I fail to see how this would impact on teaching young people.

The fact that you have conflated the issues is disturbing to say the least.
