This is a question The Dirty Secrets of Your Trade

So, Television is a hot bed of lies, deceit and made up competitions. We can't say that we are that surprised... every job is full of this stuff. It's not like the newspapers currently kicking TV whilst it is down are all that innocent.

We'd like you to even things out a bit. Spill the beans on your own trade. Tell us the dirty secrets that the public need to know.

How many exams did you do at school?
Shitloads, I bet. Mocks, pop tests, mid-terms, modulars; all a complete mockery of the education system. And all that homework too? Essays, exercises, projects, groupwork, fieldwork, research. Fair ground your nose down at that grindstone, didn't you.

Takes a hell of a lot of strain off the poor overworked state school teacher, that stuff. Get the kids to do the hard work. Genius. Like it. Bonus.

Now take that concept and apply it to private sector language teaching, where adult students happily pay 20 quid an hour for you to throw photocopies at them and babble on about your domestic situation in the name of "REAL native language experience." Or going off to swanky companies, drinking their coffee and leering at the secretary's tits whilst talking about Great Films You've Watched.

I'm not a teacher. I'm a Language Learning Co-ordinator. I use the FOFO method.


Fuck Off and Find Out.
