Q: What TF Admin?

One of your recent posts contained abusive or racial overtones, and was deleted as a result. There is nothing wrong with criticizing an aspect of Chinese society or culture, however insulting or defaming all Chinese is not acceptable - use reason and put yourself in other people's shoes before posting. Mindless China-bashing will not be tolerated, and, in case of repeated offense, could lead to a ban.

 

 

 

I really don't have a problm with it if it turns out to be a Brit

 

What was racist about it?

Was that your post about the London thing? I wondered what happened to that, was surprised to see it had been deleted.

 

The last time I checked in I didn't see anything over the top there - different opinions yeah, some of them quite strong but I would have thought that's OK. I don't remember seeing anything at all about Chinese people.

 

Did someone take it in a different direction and start involving Chinese people somehow?

 

 

philbravery:

I can't remember even seeing the words China or Chinese in that post. Maybe you should pm the user /moderator and ask them nicely to look into it. I didn't think we han a admin anymore anyway

Playing devil's advocate here, I don't think anything that isn't a scam or spam should be deleted.

 

But I think they took that post as "Because the victims were muslims, I don't care. They have it coming because of their behavior as a community and Britons are right to feel the need to hit back"

 

I totally share your skepticism that the islamic communities in western countries are positive contributors whose only problem is the racism of white people. But...coming down on the side of the guy who do it is still a pretty controversial position.

I did not say of that. Not that harsh

alright fair enough if that's not what you meant.


But it doesn't take a special snowflake to have taken it that way.

i think i said chinese were too self absorbed to enjoy a beer at a local pub and hangout and drink and be sociable after work. They have to drink to there drunk, rather than a couple of beers and go home to the family. if that has a racial overtone then fuck you and the horse you rode in on.

I found an article that listed out terrorist attacks in UK in recent years, quoting prime Minister of Sweden's comment on the trend of terrorism being someone hoping on a car then drive it into a crowd, planned to read the full article when I have the time, only to find that thread of yours deleted. I did not save the link.

This is a pretty good one explaining why in certain cases reporters delay labeling an attack as terrorist attack but in others it is acceptable. It depends on if the attackers are dead or not because there maybe legal consequences if the attackers are on the run.

What happened to GI Jane's last post.?
It was just starting to get interesting .

Spiderboenz:

Possibly because she's a MOD creation, and people were starting to disassemble her ridiculous backstory.

I don't like stuff being deleted unless it's for the obvious reasons.

 

If someone is making up a stupid identity which seems possible in this case,I think the people here are more than capable of handling the troll.

Answer of the DayMORE >>
A: In my personal experience, teaching certificates have varied in releva
A:In my personal experience, teaching certificates have varied in relevance depending on the context and location. Here's a breakdown of each aspect:a) Getting the teaching job: Teaching certificates can certainly enhance your chances of securing a teaching position, especially in formal educational settings such as schools and language institutions. Many employers prefer candidates who have undergone specific training in pedagogy and instructional techniques, which these certificates often provide. However, other factors such as experience, references, and the demand for teachers in a particular area also play significant roles in the hiring process.b) Getting a higher salary than your uncertified competitors: In some cases, holding a teaching certificate can indeed lead to a higher salary compared to uncertified competitors. Many educational institutions have structured salary scales that take into account factors such as level of education, years of experience, and additional certifications. Holding a teaching certificate may place you in a higher salary bracket or make you eligible for certain salary incentives or bonuses. However, this can vary widely depending on the specific policies of the institution or organization.c) Getting promotions: Teaching certificates can be beneficial for career advancement and securing promotions within the field of education. They demonstrate a commitment to professional development and mastery of teaching skills, which are qualities that many employers value when considering candidates for leadership positions or administrative roles. Additionally, some promotions may require specific certifications or qualifications, making holding a teaching certificate essential for advancement in certain cases.Regarding which certificate yields better results, it largely depends on the specific requirements of the job market and the educational context in which you intend to work. For example:A Postgraduate Certificate in Education (PGCE) is often highly regarded in formal school settings and can be advantageous for those seeking positions in primary or secondary education.Montessori certification is valuable for individuals interested in working in Montessori schools or implementing Montessori principles in their teaching approach.A Teaching English as a Foreign Language (TEFL) certificate is particularly relevant for those seeking to teach English to non-native speakers in international contexts or language schools.Ultimately, the best certificate for you will depend on your career goals, the specific requirements of the positions you're interested in, and the preferences of potential employers in your target job market. It's essential to research the requirements and preferences of employers in your desired field and tailor your qualifications accordingly. -- ruqaiya761
