I am very offended by your comments. You are a teacher and should know better.
You came here to earn more money than you will ever get at home. But you are not grateful for the things you receive.
Firstly you bash the local culture. Refer to the dress as bedsheet. Shame on you. Do you employ these terms when you are teaching? Are you set on creating a new set of little racists? Shame on you again.
Secondly I teach kids that go to Choeifat on a private basis. They have excellent English. The books they have are very good and have extensive info. I teach them anthology and customs that are referred to in their class material i.e the western culture parts.
Some of the kids in that family also go to English schools and those I have to teach English. Funny, no?
As for the teachers having to follow the system. Get real. No matter where you go you have to follow the system. Just because you came from the UK and want to keep on following a system that you are used to, rather than adapt and learn something new. Who says your system is better? But regardless of that. The school has opted for the Sabis, so that is what you have to follow.
For your info, the system is very similar and probably is, taken from the French schooling system. So will you now attack the French system too?
That kids jabber at each other in Arabic. Why are you complaining about that. THAT IS THEIR LANGUAGE. Just because you can not understand it. If you have previously taught in other Arabic countries, how come you never bothered to learn the language. You are the foreigner here. Shame on you.
Lastly, if you are unhappy about something, there is different ways of getting your point across. No need for insults. But for people like you, I have only one thing to say is, GO BACK HOME. You dont deserve to be here.
