you smile about it, but you are also correct.

many of the schools in the gulf monitor online boards, and it isn't too hard to figure out who works where.

The other issue is that there are long running disputes over certain schools/areas. Instead of publically replying and having people flame them, I can see you getting PM's instead.

Which were those? And when?

They were in the first years. For about three years in a row, the Dean terminated almost all of the native speaker/non-Muslims to bring in compatriots. Finally a group of them (two of which were personal friends) took them to court and had other jobs in the country so they were able to follow it through. They won... and the Sheikh finally fired the Dean to stop the foolishness.

I hope it's not heading in a similar direction again.
