HI Trevor

1) You're correct that two wrongs don't make a right, and it is unfortunate that this fellow lost out on a lot of money. My advice to him and every other teacher is to make sure you get everything in writing, you can't rely on spoken promises and agreements as these often get forgotten about when pay day comes around!

2) I didn't mention the flight in my original post because i was trying to highlight that the teacher in question here was saying a lot of bad things about his school, while openly admitting that he had gotten into a fight with a student. There are a lot of posters on this site who seem to think that every problem is caused by the schools and their corrupt evil bosses; I would just like to present a more balanced argument and say that sometimes it is the teachers who cause trouble for themselves.

Happy National Day!
