British volunteer English teachers get ready to take on Thai schools

I'll admit to being a bit sour on this program before I had a chance to really think about it (unfortunate knee jerk reaction). But having seen one of the volunteers respond, I now think it's a net positive for everybody involved (except maybe for a few of the resident sour pusses here). The only negative is the short duration of the program.

I am most impressed to see how well-written Vanessa is. Not a single errant apostrophe or inappropriate use of reflexive pronouns. It kind of puts some of our resident "teachers" here in their place.

I agree, though I'm sure she dangled a modifier.

My first post on the matter was off topic and I'm sorry for that, the difficulties of incumbent teachers really has nothing to do with this initiative.

From the feedback offered by 2 members of the scheme, this seems to be a roaring success. I hope that the volunteers continue to get the best from it and it will make a real difference to the lives of these kids.
