In the many threads I have participated I have seen a backlash to the moral (right) way of doing things. The FT will use whatever trick or excuse they can to avoid doing things right.

Why is that? Here is your chance to place your reasoning to support your words. it does concern me because this being a small area of life, what one FT does tends to have an affect on others, even though those others did nothing wrong.

(This topic has noting to do with being 'slaves' or 'slavery' but the demise of the moral compass).

Do you not think that the students deserve to be taught by those with a moral compass? Almost everything I read from or hear when I am engaged in conversation with Fts, and I have said this before, is 'me', 'me. 'me'. Well teaching isn't about you.

So are you brave enough to discuss this issue like adults? (it has nothing to do with being an apologist but everything to do with being a teacher)

The more moral or nicer you try to be in Korea, the faster the knife goes in the back!

Morality is a very complicated issue which could also touch on the
'r' theme we don't discuss here.

There is an argument that everyone has morals but they are different.

So where in your morality can you lump all FT's together? We are from many backgrounds and cultures with different stands on issues that may be called moral.

A better title for this would be why do a few (maybe some) people do things I consider immoral. But maybe you enjoy the flames.

Any examples OP? Are you talking about FTs not wanting to use corporal punishment to control their students? Are you talking about FTs thinking that contracts mean what they say? What "moral way of doing things" are these FTs against?

If you don't get paid for a couple of weeks, you stop working, nothing unmoral about that.

Question for the OP: How is it moral to falsely accuse another person of engaging in a homosexual act in a public place?

+1.

Without examples, this thread is a waste of bandwidth. I might as well just say, 'I am not afraid of the moral way of doing things.'

Say what you will about people's opinions you may disagree with on Dave's, they always try to give some moral justification for their actions.

There are very few absolute moneygrubbers/shameless horndogs on here.

And you know what, even that crowd gets points for being honest and not boring.

Sometimes being immoral/amoral is so much more fun Wink

Way to ignore Forum Guidelines, Mr. Moral. Obvious flamebait is obvious. In before ban and thread deletion.
