Hey Sean, None of the following can appear on the blog while I’m in Indonesia, as it will probably point to me as the leak. The Tarbak contract is being renegotiated. It was discussed at a teacher’s meeting (with the smallest turnout ever) but a lot of that was *******************. There was talk about it…
Hey guys, Just to let you know, there is a book shortage at TBI Riau. Students who have paid have gone for cycles without a proper textbook. Some have completed levels without a proper book. Missing books seem to be NCE – Pre-Int, and Int. Business classes, which are quite rare for Riau, don’t seem to…
You have criticized Ashley Platts and Mariam Kartikatresni for their roles in the Helmy V. disaster. Did Luke Preece play any role in this matter? None whatsoever. In mid 2009, Luke Preece, Lilies Agustine and Matthew France were all tucked away at TBI Dago together. It was a shame for TBI that they ever moved…
How would you describe Helmy V’s relationships with the teachers? I’d say it was disastrously bad. He was so bad that closure of the school was a possibility in 2009. Can you give us an example of his handiwork? There was one female teacher from Kuningan who was working on a casual basis. Cam had…
Every Last Expat Teacher Left TBI Riau During Scott’s Time as Manager Hey S****, (23.5.2012) Sorry, I’ve just been busy trying to get sorted on leaving Indonesia. My contract is up in…
My time at TBI was very short. I was there for about 6 months. I was made Academic Director after only two months, but by my third month I didn’t want that position anymore as it entailed a lot more work than expected for nothing extra in return. The man I worked for was called Binsar Simorangkir. He didn’t ask for qualifications or references, but…
Today we have published the original teacher’s report from the first blog. I asked the teacher (name kept hidden for his safety) to write out his story. Predictably, Luke Preece and his cyber-bully friends attacked the grammar as not up to TBI standards. This is one of their well-established bullying techniques. Not one of Luke…
****** was unable to get a visa because Indonesia requires a HIV test now. But you knew that, right? That’s why nobody will ever see this post, will they L*****? Former TBI Kuningan teacher Lipi received this post telling her that **** was HIV positive, which is completely false. I imagine Colm O’Mahony, Matthew France…
A few weeks ago the abusive comments to this blog took an even nastier turn. No longer content to just throw insults, an anonymous poster asked us to consider how we would feel if someone ended up tracking down our niece and “smashing her head in with a brick.” They publically wonder why we have…
