So far I have seen: tought instead of "taught" ...and form instead of "forum" and others rather than "others'" --which I find awkward and would have preferred other people's mistakes..
I think what is at issue here is that you posted that you would like to start a school that will teach mostly in English, with a curriculum that will achieve accreditation by a United State accrediting agency here in the Dominican Republic. You asked about issues.
Well, one of them is "Just how well qualified are you to attempt such a venture?" Do you have the degrees necessary to do this? I think what Mean Ol' Tambo was saying was that if you can write a English, this might indicate a lack of academic preparation on your part.
Another issue is that there are really very few controls on setting up schools. Most of the requirements are government regulations regarding employees, social security, and such. You really can get a way with a lot as you can see in any barrio in the country.
My experience indicates that the major English Language schools were well funded from the "git-go"...I actually overheard the first conversations that led to the setting up of the St. George School...they were sitting at the next table and talked quite loudly...but they talked about big money, too.
So, bottom line, a lot of people will look at your posts as "a educator" and question whether or not you are, really. Others will encourage you to try for it. Me? I am with the latter, if you have the wherewithal to get it done.
