so why would he gave me vague advice? Oh, I get it, you are suggesting that he didn't mean it, that he is just plain dumb then.

Well I don't think you'd be so pissed at the guy if he gave you glowing praise after sitting in on your lesson. and the vague advice he gave, maybe he doesn't know the answer!

The 'Singha Beer' as your profile sign tells me what level you are at too.

How the hell does having a Singha avatar equate to any such level? Retarded comment. I happen to like Singha beer...beer hater!!! die!

I want to study for a PGCE through long-distance learning, I need to be working in an international school

You are aware that a major part of your PGCE is assessed through lesson observation, aren't you? Its usually a department head or member of the leadership team at the school you are working at who does this. If its a small school you are at, it will probably be the same person who you has observed you previously and will also be responsible for 'managing' your PGCE year if you stay at the same school.

If your relationship with this person is really as bad as you have made it sound and the advice / guidance he provides is as shockingly poor as you have described, I would be thinking very carefully about whether I would want to make such a substantial investment in a PGCE while at this school. He could very easily fail you, provide inadequate documentation / evidence for the university etc.

Why is it pathetic? What would you suggest I use so as not to present myself to you in such a negative way?

If he doesn't know the answer, like you suggested Mr 'Singha' then you have made my point for me! He doesn't have the knowledge to be my senior.

Without the original post is is really hard to follow this thread. Could you maybe repost in a way that would be acceptable to the moderators. In particular, I'd like to hear more about your qualification and the manager's experience and qualification and exactly what your complaint is.

I thought some bits of it would have survived in quotes from other posters but - in a nutshell - the OP and his friends had a Big Mystery (TM) when they found some secret papers in Uncle Quentin's desk at the school they all work in, so they decided to investigate.

Fortified with ginger beer and protected by their faithful soi-dog "TeeMeee" they sallied forth and the OP overheard some shadowy figures muttering:

"Blah, blah...lesson plan...blah, blah...more qualified....blah, blah...I'm the boss...blah, blah."

But he and his four friends summoned a constable to the scene and it all ended happily after all.

"Hurrah"

"WOOF WOOF"

"Oh, TeeMeee - you are a naughty dog!"

I think I see why you are in the position you are in tinka.

Tinka has now deleted all of his / her posts on this thread so nobody will be able to reply. What's the point?

**Gipkik** · 24th June 2009 15:17

I guess the point was the motivation. Tinka created this thread to vent, thought twice about his boss reading it, got scared and deleted. It's a toss up between the op and the boss as to whom I'd rather NOT work with.
