It has been a long time away. I ran my own private language school in the third world. I got cancer & emigrated to the UK. I started work at a massive (& superb) academy.
And times changed. Whistleblower style blogging, personal style blogging - are on their way out. It's no longer acceptable to write publicly in the same style as I was once wont to do, here.
(I do, however, (she spliced), note that the Grauniad, which once reviewed my blog as negative and burnt out, now does a weekly blog column called Secret Teacher that is far more bilious and chippy than anything I ever wrote. Plus ça change...

Updates : rare. But alive.
