Don't go to Private Colleges

Back to teaching-

I was in front of my class lecturing on procedures in health and social care. In this college I cannot write the material myself, as I would normally do.

Half way through my lecture I gave up and told the students the material was rubbish. Which it is! The compiler puts up copy and paste American articles on health matters, apparently unaware that the two systems, British and American (USA) are vastly different. Worse he provided case studies for the students. The English in each one was pre-GCSE. On the level of a 12 year old. I felt embaressed and ashamed. My students began to laugh.

The writer is supposed to have an MBA. What can I say? -Buying essays and presenting them as his own in order to achieve a high level qualification?

That afternoon I went to a teacher's meeting to discover that the compiler of the above said barely literate material had recently been made programme manager! Don't go to private colleges unless you check them first!
