Re: Overstayed British Teacher to be Deported from Siem Reap
IMO it's a bit late to worry about the guy's "reputation and career", now that his arrest photo is online and his deportation is a matter of record.D Shay wrote: ↑Wed Apr 28, 2021 9:36 amleeellis2406 wrote: ↑Tue Apr 27, 2021 4:03 pm I worked with him at Apple International School in Poipet, he was nothing but a drunk and threatening everybody. He took advantage of the local people when he got fired by bribing them out of beer, rice wine and food to the tune of around $1,000, saying he would pay them on salary day(even though he had been fired). People that could ill afford to lose money. So I have little sympathy for him about losing his employment because I know of his character, but sad to hear he's living in jail now awaiting deportation. I'm sure there are a few ex teachers who are on the breadline right now and the forecast is very bleak for the next few months, so everyone take care and stay safe and as healthy as possible and don't end up a victim of circumstance like Nick. Good luck Nick in your future, what goes around comes around.
This sort of character attack should not be permitted unless supported by evidence. Anonymous attacks can be very damaging to someone’s reputation and career.

Or maybe, just maybe, a troll hoping to get just these reactions.
Re: Overstayed British Teacher to be Deported from Siem Reap
A big part of the issue is the schools that have no standards besides being a pale face. I've met a number who had no business being employed in any profession, let alone being a teacher. People going to teach while still high from the drugs of the night before.
A bit more common is the constant hangover crew. Coming in almost every day feeling wrecked from the night before. As long as they show up enough days of the week they manage to keep their jobs, even if they are going through the day as a zombie.
There are loads of good and professional teachers and I remember thinking they should be making more money, that their wages weren't high enough over what the dregs were making. It is unfortunate that the image of TEFLers is so low due to these shithole schools with no hiring standards, the quality teachers don't deserve to be in the same grouping.

I don't think qualified teachers will have a prosperous image of TEFL 'teachers'. Getting a basic teaching license in any subject will require 4,800-6,400 hours of study, depending on the country. A typical TEFL license takes 120 hours.GMJS-CEO wrote: ↑Wed Apr 28, 2021 6:18 pmA big part of the issue is the schools that have no standards besides being a pale face.

I've worked as a teacher and a teacher trainer for nearly two decades. I've seen some 'naturals', gifted from birth, being great teachers just by themselves from the start. But those are rare unicorns, I'd say 1-2%. Most of the teachers have to go through the whole spectrum of behavior becoming a real teacher, from being pupil's friend through 'being strict from the start' all the way to being a professional being able to manage a group of 30 kids and teaching them something while at the same time having an eye for important stuff going on in their lives. Group management is one the most difficult things to learn while it's one of the most important things at the same time.
Most good professional teachers will need 4-5 years after getting licensed to reach that level.
Edited for learning hours for teaching license

Re: Overstayed British Teacher to be Deported from Siem Reap
Never really got why anyone other than musicians would refer to their employment or career as a gig, I've noticed it strangely commonplace amongst teachers on the Cambodian forums. Unfortunately if that's the analogy it seems a lot are playing the Dog and Duck on a wet Tuesday night.
Yes sir, I can boogie, I can boogie, boogie, boogie all night long.

“Gig” has a common secondary definition which I’ll copypaste from the dictionary:Cowshed Cowboy wrote: ↑Wed Apr 28, 2021 10:50 pm Never really got why anyone other than musicians would refer to their employment or career as a gig, I've noticed it strangely commonplace amongst teachers on the Cambodian forums.
