If you have picked up a paper or shuffled over to Google News anytime in the last week, you would find a large number of articles that try to lump all TEFL teachers into a bunch of lazy criminals who hide behind the English Teaching profession in their life abroad. What a bunch of BS that is. It is so far from the truth. I am still waiting to find one news article that talks about the great good that TEFL teachers are doing. I know we are doing good, I can see it my students eyes and see it in the happiness they have in mastering a new language.
