Any chance of revealing the contents of those emails Alex? Just to sate curiosity?

Good work everybody!

I don’t know how they can’t work out who is behind it, took me all of 3 minutes to figure it out

I was just going over the 2008 tables for administrators and directors for an international school in Mexico, pondering your statement.

272,618 USD per year as a Superintendent.
88,794 USD per year as an Admission director.
82,080 USD per year as a Primary School Director
63,595 USD per year as a Primary school teacher.

I guess those numbers are very small in places like the US. 63,000 USD a year in Mexico goes pretty far in Mexico however.

However, as I typed I found my blood boiling and my language wasn’t fit for the decorum of this board. Therefore, my response to supporter is posted (typos and all: I didn’t proofread it as well as I should have) at the Laughing Coyote blogspot:

I might have used some bad language. Hope that’s ok with you all.

TEFL can be a fulfilling career if you work at it. Laughing Coyote School is not representative of the vast majority of schools in Mexico. Not even close.

Regardless of being on the Blacklist, I am still teaching English in Mexico. I have worked for a few different schools here with no problem. Ironically I have randomly run into two of my former students from LCSE. One student told me the LCSE school in his town was closed not too long after I left. Supposedly they hired a female teacher to replace me. She arrived after I left. I was told by my former student that the teacher was fired for being gay. Again, this is what one of my former students told me. He said that Mr. Falomir did not want gay teachers working for him, so he fired her. That school has closed. Also, I ran into another former student of mine just last week. She confirmed that the same school closed down. She did not know why. She also gave me a few unsolicited comments concerning Mr. Falomir. She stated that she had a confrontation with him and that Mr. Falomir was very irrational, argumentative, and deceitful. I believe the confrontation involved some form of tuition reimbursement payment, but I do not know the exact details. I believe the student wanted some compensation after the school was closed down, as she had paid up her tuition. Regardless, her opinion of Mr. Falomir was not very flattering. It is comforting for me to know, that despite all the lies and all the deceit, even the students can see the same thing that I saw in the owners of LCSE. This blog and the other blogs also give fair warning to anybody contemplating on teaching at LCSE. I wish these blogs existed back when I was investigating the school. If so, I never would have gone there. At least now the truth is out there for all to see. This will help others from having the same experiences that I and my fellow Blacklistees had. Keep up the good work!

The training is bogus and nothing more. There is absolutely no training. You start teaching immediately at the school in Tepic. You teach their while Ms. Cagle can go off and do her own thing outside the school. Sometimes the Mexican assistant, also a student, will observe the class, but that is it. There is no training, no books, no method, nothing. Also, they claim to have a great method of teaching English but that is an absurd claim. The books they have are printed and copied pages from the following internet site http://www.enchantedlearning.com/Home.html. There is no method to their teaching. Many of the lessons include weeks of learning the technical vocabulary of dentistry. For example vocabulary words such as: enamel, cuspids, dentin, molar, and so on. There is also a lesson on pirates. The vocabulary consists of words such as: plank, Jolly Roger, peg leg, and cutlass. There is a whole semester long program called Animal Kingdom. All of the vocabulary is about animal biology and habitat. The students cannot order a pizza on the phone but they can say words like: pterosaurs, orinthology, monotremes, and ducked billed platypus. It is sad indeed, but useless vocabulary is the cornerstone of the LCSE method. Ms. Cagle claims that she will “trademark and copyright” her teaching materials and “publish” her books. I am not sure how that can legally take place as that would be an obvious copyright infringement since none of her materials are original. They are all taken from websites, especially from the Enchanted Learning site, one of her favorites. She has no original material. She follows no method. It is actually ridiculous the materials that are used by her school.

Regardless of the method, they are closing schools down rapidly. I am sure they have only Tepic and maybe one other school open. Tepic will soon close because competition is heating up there. Recently a Harmon Hall branch was opened right in the heart of town on Insurgentes. Regardless of what people may think about Harmon Hall, they know how to run a language school. There has not been much as far as competition in Tepic. Harmon Hall will provide plenty of that. LCSE cannot compete with the likes of Harmon Hall and maybe other newcomers. I think the Black List has backfired. Thanks to this blog and many others for helping to shine the light on the madness of LCSE. It will only be a matter of time until the Laughing Coyote stops laughing. Or maybe that crazy nervous laughter will continue to echo on in the heads of the LCSE trio: Jeremy Johnson, Juan Pablo Falomir, and Lydia Pigloma Cagle.

“Great spirits have often encountered violent opposition from weak minds.”

And WE all know who the weak minds are, don’t we! Hence their violence, not to mention crass stupidity. Are you reading this, Jeremy, Paloma, Juan Pablo?

I think that Mugabe character thinks he’s a great spirit too. Ah, the self-deluded!

- I haven’t ridiculed anyone. The interview is exactly as answered by LCSE themselves.
- They said themselves that LCSE is a profit making venture, not a charity
- If they are creating such a holistic and unique method of teaching English, where are the articles sharing that approach with the rest of the world? Is there any reason why it has to stay in LCSE unless they are indeed thinking they can make a fortune out of it?

Having said all that, I do sense that there is some disappointed idealism somewhere in there. That just makes it even more sad what they are doing now, though

That’s the point here, regarding the Blacklist. Laughing Coyote didn’t feel compelled to release evidence or any proof but they were more than happy to release their opinions about the teachers? Please…

Pretty clear that the person writing the comment above is yet again from Jeremy, Falomir, or Paloma. The language used in the comment is again the same as we’ve been seeing for months now…at what point do they realize that the more BS they post under assumed identities, the ore damage they do to themselves?

I figure that it will take about 6 months for Internet searches to filter down and out all the self-indicting comments staff at Laughng Coyote have made under assumed identities. Each time they post pap like the above, the longer it stays.
