A quick reminder of last year's winners:
OVERALL OSCAR WINNER WORST SCHOOL
2007ASTA Kids Club in Incheon, Korea.
WORST OWNER
Shane of Shane schools and his alter ego Saxoncourt Recruitment.
WORST DOS
ASTA Kids Club in Incheon, Korea
WORST PAID
East London School of English
WORST LOCATION
China. Can be great if you do your research well but a place to be very wary of as there are some terrible schools.
WORST FRANCHISE (for people daft enough to buy one)
Smith's School of English, Japan. Shame on International House London as well and worthy of a special mention.
WORST JOB BULLETIN BOARD
TEFL.com. No attempt at all to inform the unsuspecting teacher of crap outfits. At least Saint Dave Sperling has a forum (albeit heavily neutered).
WORST TEFL COURSE PROVIDER
Paul Lowe of Windsor TEFL Courses
WORST SHYSTERS FOR STUDENTS
Wall Street Institute for being bankruptcy bandits.
As you have probably gathered The Inspector was not in a good mood last year. Just thinking about some of these "schools" brought out boils on his bum and he couldn't sit down for a week.

There's a whole load of new schools to take into consideration for The Oscars 2008.

I like your blog. Hey, what do you know about blacklisting in China? I broke a contract that wasn't respected in many serious ways, but now I am affraid I can't go back to teach in china.
