Why are we getting insurance companies involved?

Sometimes in life, something is better than nothing.

Well yes, of course. But TIS's point (or one of them at least) is that people pay a lot of money for English lessons, so deserve to get a teacher who knows the subject and can actually teach. The Canadian was offering free help, which is rather different.

Here's a story that he (I assume he's a he, for some reason. Apologies if I'm wrong) will definitely like:

I was working at a crappy language mill in Shenzhen, and lazing around in the common room when a harried 'teacher' ran in and said "Quick! What's the difference between 'good' and 'well'? I'm in the middle of a class!"

"Ah. See, one's an adjective and the other's an adverb."

"Oh. Great, thanks. Erm, what's an adverb?"

Another one:

"Hey Johnny, I'm doing some stuff on idioms today. I know it probably doesn't matter, but what exactly is an idiom?"

Sometimes in life people expect to get what they pay for. Some people in life don't care if they can provide what you paid them for.

Some schools get what they pay for. Pay cr*p, get cr*p.

Unfortunately it is not the schools that suffer MF. It is their students that get the crap teachers.
