Re: Asking for reviews to be removed

Having access to a review because it is written on a school computer is far different than being the author. How do we know this is really the author and not just some school admin tasked with monitoring teachers computers? The bottom line is he should have read and headed the the big red letters that say your submission is an irreversible action. This person needs to take responsibility for their actions.

Re: Asking for reviews to be removed

Instead of asking for the review to be removed the prudent thing to do would be to write ISR and say, " such and such a statement in my review may reveal my identity, can you please remove it from my review. The author needs to post the name of the school and a few lines from their review so we can go have a look and see if it is posted or not. My feeling is this entire scenario is a phony and just some school director trying to stir up ill will. At this point in my career I put nothing past some of their tyrants in admin positions.

Re: Vaccination and other issues.

Comparing a vaccination to slavery or persecution of the Jews in Germany is so out in left fields that it purely demonstrates you can't reason with the anti vax group.

Re: Asking for reviews to be removed

So you were so angry you wrote a review and then deprived the rest of us the opportunity to know what's happening at this school. Did you notice the blurb that says you need to be sure you want to post this review because it is an irreversible action? Really! You're like a whining, crying baby. Accept the responsibility for your actions. Don't blame ISR. In no way are they like the schools that abuse teachers. You should probably stay home. International Teaching is obviously not for you!!! What's the name of the school? Or are you so scared you can't share at least that?

Re: Director Invited me Out - Help!

Thanks everyone for your replies. I think I will reevaluate and accept the next time, if there is one, that he asks me to join him. If it's an invitation to join him for dinner, alone, I may have to rethink that one and suggest lunch. We'll see. I may be reading more into this than I should. It may also be he was thinking he was helping me get to know the community by inviting me to brunch, and nothing more. I enjoy being single and would date him if he was another teacher at the school. But this is the boss and things could get weird.

Director Invited me Out - Help!

I'd like to get some opinions on this situation. On Friday of last week our school director invited me to go to brunch with him and a few friends from outside school. I'm flattered he asked me. He's about my age, smart and attractive, single, and in most any other situation I would have said yes. But being here at his school, in a foreign country, I felt a bit vulnerable and made an excuse for why I couldn't make it. We get along great and have had a good in-school friendship but this felt somehow different. Not sure what to do at this point. Am I overreacting?
