| So, do you suggest to new teachers not to believe or trust the words of government departments |
Prudent advice. Words from the government is often just words of an officer or a flunky of a government office and have little to do with any regulation. Example: A friend was recently sued by a Chinese former employee and was told by an �officer� of the court (again there is no way to verify if he is really an officer or a flunky) that he was restricted to China. His attorney informed him that it would take a court order to accomplish this and that likely the person who had informed him of the restriction was a friend of the ex employee.

| If a government department tells a newbie teacher to do something, and they do it, and then they get abused or lied to.... why is this the newbie teacher's fault again? |
While those who seek to lay blame are often just trying to antagonize, all FTs should remember they need to seek control of situations which could potentially make them a victim and not to believe everything they heard but also not to react in an adverse manor to information given but rather to seek several sources and phrase question in several different way to ascertain the real procedures. Example: While I let my employer�s partner arrange the FEC, I contend that self service as to RP status is preferable and if possible to go with the employers rep. as any problems at the immigration section of the PSB could be smoothed over by a savvy FAO or a few words from the applicant. |
