Has anyone purchased/used the Genki English Teacher's Set?

I am an EFL teacher at an elementary school in South Korea, and I was considering buying the Genki English Teacher's Set, but I can't decide if it worth the money. If the activities are as good as the site's creator claims, it will definitely be worth the $150-200. The problem is, I can't find any reviews of people who have actually bought and used the Genki products.

If you have bought and used the Genki English Teacher's Set, can you let me know your opinion of it, please.

Update:

That is a great quote i agree, the only problem being it comes from the Site of where i want to buy the program. While I am not saying this is the case, as far as i know, they created that quote themselves. Crazier things have happened!

    Here is a link I found that was pretty good with at least one review on it.....do you recognize the name?

    "Fantastic site, I highly recommend Genki English to any teacher; whether novice or veteran."

    - Garry Forbes

    EDIT - I found two more links that are related to Genki English that "appears" to be for users of the Teacher Set, with at least reviews by a Mr. Richard Graham. It appears you "might" have to become a member of this group to review all blogs. Hope this gives you more of what you want. Thanks.

    Out and out plagerism ( even if it is not stolen) is bad.. but assistance, or as I prefer to describe it "prompts" are fine. Do we not all go somewhere for inspitation.. Mentors where ever they can be found are valuable for young people. Beginning a poem for a student is simply a push, and hopefully they will continue the momentum. I have had students copy work of Haiku masters and try to pass them off as their own, not knowing that I might and often do recognise them. I 'd rather find it more amusing than criminal. It is also good practice for them to retell a story or a poem in their own words and style. It will help them form techniques of their own. I often use sources such as the Net and send students searching for subject matter. And then we can work on ideas as a group. Our muses in this case could be anything from a painting to an advertisement another author or poets work or a piece of music. If these children have actually used your work and not given credit where credit is due then they will learn eventually that they are unable to lie for long. I always give a student the opportunity to name his inspiration, his source or his muse for work produced or reproduced. I like to call it ingenuity. A little push is fine when they are trying to swim but don't hold them under water!
