More TBI schools have bitten the dust. After the defection of TBI Medan, other TBI franchise schools have closed their doors. After 13 dreadful years of graft and crime-ridden business, the scandalously bad TBI Bekasi has now gone out of business. It joins the long list of closed TBI schools which includes TBI Semarang, TBI…
Today we were alerted to the, ahem, TBI Suncity Bekasi Facebook page. Now you wouldn’t exactly expect it to world-class, would you?

I mean, honestly, they shouldn’t by running a nasi goreng stand let…
TBI’s pathetic decline towards irrelevance grows more pronounced by the minute. Better and more professional competitors are crowding them out of the market, revealing them for the unprofessional, out-of-date and inept company that they really are.

Part two: A week or two after I got my kitas I was called into Binsar’s office. He said there was a company class in Cikarang, and he wants me to cover the native session there for one time (since their previous native had already by then bailed.) So I went with Binsar…
Yesterday we featured an interesting post from a former TBI Bekasi teacher. (See yesterday’s post). In it he mentioned that some people are concerned about this blog because they feel our true agenda is to close down TBI. The teacher mentioned that his intention in regularly contributing to this blog was not to try and…
