Sorry to sound harsh, bro. But sooo many people line up for the kingdom with visions of money-laden sugar plums dancing in their heads that situations like yours arise...nearly on a daily basis!

Which doesn't say much for the quality of recruitment. It is a bad apple, but some of the people that get in...

Sorry spelling may be bad.... been out watching the Lions.. and all that watching Rugby includes Smile

KSU have just of 30% of their teachers as they either do not meet specs. or have done something untoward by Saudi standards -)
