I was looking forward to ‘Doo’ based classroom ideas (insert unhappy smiley here).

Scooby? Is that really you? Can’t see you surviving a classroom full of English teenagers…

Thanks for the update (and nice summary of his business plan!), but all links for Advanced Institute on the Net are now dead, so where has Scooby run off to now??

Anyone else seen a slightly rumpled Subash Melwani anywhere?

I heard he sold the business. Ben McVay told me, but I know not from whence he attained that information.
Last I heard of the AI was on the net a few years ago, Scooby was employing untrained teachers, and the pupil feedback was something like ‘teachers aren’t trained, but it’s nice to hear a regional English accent in conversation classes’! Shame really, it could’ve been great if he’d employed fully trained and experienced staff, new how to manage a business, and treated the receptionists nicely!!
