Wall Street Institute, Paris
Attention all shipping. This is a gale force warning from the BBC. Well maybe not, but it's the TEFL equivalent nevertheless.
One of The Inspector's all time favourite employers, Wall Street Institute, is out on the prowl tracking down idiots (whoops - teachers) to con (nope - teach), any old sucker (come on Inspector - blue chip corporates) to buy their outdated (correction - cutting edge) system of sticking any old mug in a general free for all conversation class (rap over knuckles - groups of discerning students all of whom are at the same linguistic level) and then sticking them for hours on end in front of a "teach yourself English" course on a PC.
The Inspector is very sorry (eehrm happy) to report that Wall Street Institute 7 Place de la Defense PARIS LA DEFENSE, PARIS 92974 - France
They need four, that's FOUR lucky teachers who will win the TEFL booby prize. Enjoy Paris in the Spring and work for an awful (apologies - wonderful) crap (sorry - caring), smarmy (apologies it should read professional) bunch of shysters, whoops the old keyboard skills are not what they were, (I mean super bunch of great people).
Don't expect an end of contract bonus but just let The Inspector know when you're about to leave and he'll send each of the four losers (phew what rudeness from the Inspector - WINNERS) a gift wrapped Mexican prickly cucumber with which to insert up (sorry yet another typo, I mean bid farewell) the manager of The Back Passage Institute (oops again - Wall Street Institute).
The Inspector is of the opinion that Wall Street Institute is simply a linguistic vending machine.
Welcome to the TEFL Blacklist. And, yes - it's black! In fact, this blog is for all you angry EFL teachers out there - and I know there must be a good number of you! If you've suffered at the hands of a rogue employer, a dodgy DOS, or a pain-in-the-arse Principal, then this is your chance to get your own back. If you have a story to tell post it briefly in the section marked NOMINATE A SCHOOL FOR BLACKLISTING. There should be a hyperlink at the bottom of most posts. Add your comments to whichever thread you happen to want to add a contribution and then simply copy and then paste it in the section entitled "Chronological Postings" as well. Don't forget to add a note explaining where the original was posted. That way people can, if they choose, simply read all the postings made to all the threads in chronological order.

The comedian Eddie Izzard is unique. "He is the first to admit that he gets well paid for talking total bollocks. The good pay is because, unlike the bollocks most of us talk, it's funny"
