Quote from: Mr.DeMartino on December 04, 2019, 03:16:12 pmAre you sure he's 100% behind this and it isnt a "use it or lose it" funding thing or a mandate from on high, like from the county office?I thought so too, but my CT confirmed that it's all him. It's not his first cockamamie idea, he's been leaving chaos in his wake with all sorts of ridiculous decisions since he was transfered to the school at the beginning of the year, as the new principal.

Yeah that's getting to me a lot. Sometimes I think to myself "I really miss my own culture" but then stop and wonder if it's racist to think that lol. I remember saying something about "my country" on here and someone replied with "people don't own countries". Mental really.
But yeah, I really miss the culture. Isolation can be a huge problem here, I definitely realise that now. Good point about marriage. That's one reason why I'll never get married here because that's basically admitting that you'll never live in England again.

'My wife', people don't own other people, ' my neighborhood' people don't own neighborhoods etc etc..Also lol that young people today think it's racist to like your own culture, crivens, what's the world coming to?

Some took the PGCE route, others got into EAP teaching at universities, one works for IELTS in Cambridge, another's doing the online IELTS writing marking, one left teaching and works for his Brother's company. I'm planning to do the same soon, maybe 2or possibly 4.

That's insane. I'm sure there is immigration fraud and fake marriages, but is it really to the degree where you are waiting years for it to get through. And thousands of pounds. His wife was Vietnamese, so maybe that makes the process longer than it would be for a Korean spouse? Either way, shithouse.
Christ, am I the only British person here who actually likes England haha?!!
