Do you realize how many English mistakes you’ve made in your post?

And the link you gave doesn’t work.

Suggestion One: Stop using this pseudo-Marxist Cold War union talk. It’s offensive. It shows absolutely no understanding of what a union really is or where in the world you are. It’s possible that you have good intentions, so start showing them. Don’t talk like a bunch of whacked out Red Army terrorists who somehow managed to make it to Taiwan.

In my mind, it’s going to take a lot more than “reinventing” your organization for folks who pop off slogans like “Viva Taiwan” to rebuild any sense of credibility.

or email at taiwanteachersassociation@yahoo.com[/quote]Not a bad idea, to start again. Shows some openness and willingness to learn.

I’ve no idea whether the group will take off in any way. I won’t be joining as it’s not really my kind of thing. But anyway, this is a better way to start. (It’s too ambitious to try to cater for all teachers’ and non-teachers’ wants though!)

It’s probably a good idea to try to make the group’s communications a little more polished in future. Typos and spelling mistakes are easy enough to catch before you post.

Your last idiocy got nowhere and actually LOST members! This one has been up for a week already and has no members apart from you two and NO messages.
Are you starting to notice a pattern yet? :laughing:

This thread is hilarious…well done…:bravo:

You should take the comments and responses on this board as a dry run or sampler to what you will get if you actually try to do something about the plight of the hapless-helpless-abused-enslaved teachers in Taiwan

Here your ideas can be tested and critiqued. That’s a benefit you get

When you spread your message in the circles of schools and school management, you won’t get critiqued, you’ll get deported

Or laughed at. So either way, you’re getting some good practice here.

Sorry about the link, I was at an internet cafe and could not hook up to Yahoo.

The link is

groups.yahoo.com/group/teachersorganization

the email is the same.

Thank you for checking the site.

Let’s get this done, let’s start a teachers organization!

Seems the membership is down to two paper clips and an empty stapler

You LIAR! They have THREE members! THREE! No comments or entries of any description other than the original semi-literate call to arms, though.
They’re not exactly beating down your doors, are they? I wonder why? :laughing:

Well well then, bleeding to death then I guess is a better fate.

All you folks so interested in English teacher unions may have missed the huge fight going on with the Berlitz Union in Japan. You can check their website for an up-date, as well as a description of what the Union has accomplished for teachers at Berltz.
