In our forums, one of our moderators has embarked on an ambitious plan to create a huge resource area for teachers. It is quite significant at this stage and it is growing every day. Where else can you get a free lesson plan for an EFL math or science class? (If you know where else, add a comment or a link! The more resources the better!)

If you would like to add your lesson plans, ideas and activities, please do. This is a free resource and can turn into something that we as teachers can use on a daily basis. Check out our resource room for teachers.

A midnight run, a midnight flit, pulling a runner or just plain quitting without notice, whatever you choose to call it, it means just one thing, quitting your job abruptly. Since our visas are tied to schools, quitting your TEFL job sometimes entails leaving the country on short notice. Sometimes with draconian contract provisions and the fear of living in a foreign country as a TEFL teacher, it can seem like the only option is to leave your TEFL job abruptly.

Is it ever acceptable to pull a midnight run on a school? Have you ever pulled a midnight run on a school? Under what circumstances do you think it is acceptable? Check out our poll this month and leave your comments here.
