the school is probably guilty of at the very worst misleading the teacher about conditions and compensation.

Case by case analysis seems to break down on this forum, and more often then not most of the vets have long ago taken sides in this endless debate. I'd love to see where the chips stack up. Don't tell me it depends on the situation; I want to know how you felt before you understood anything about the situation.

If you can suggest additional options, please do so!

2 more categories: The classes are in anarchy with cell phones, sleeping, private conversations in Chinese etc. There is systemic academic failure of promotion without any mastery of the subject.

Really. I wouldn't be happy with that deal.

I believe in a fair days work for a fair days pay.

I believe that employers should treat us fairly and that we should act fairly towards employers.

Now, thats fair isn't it! Wink
