Shadowjack, there's only one person with my name in the world. But, you don't need to wonder about where and when. My CV is on my website.

[quote="homeandaway"]Yes, but unfortunately you don't project yourself as someone who is able to deliver their subject well by creating that website and putting it one display to every school around the globe. No one is going to consider hiring someone that slags off other schools.[/quote]

I would love to know how this has any bearing on my ability to [i]deliver my subject well[/i].

What you call slagging off is an accurate report (with supporting documentation) of wrong doing. Yes, I'm sure schools that behave in a similar manner won't touch me with a barge pole, but the only thing a good school has to fear is that I'll write something nice about them.

[quote="IAMBOG"]David, I'm not admin, just a teacher, but if was admin and saw your website I would not hire you in a million years. [/quote]
Of course, whether I might be able to deliver my subject well, or that students might enjoy being taught by me doesn't come into it :lol:

[quote="seinfeld"]They probably found your website, which looks like it was made by a grade 5 student in Frontpage 10 years ago, and saw the gripes and complaints and excuses you pull off on pretty much every school you've been in. Entertaining reading if it wasn't true so it just makes it a sad testimony on your professionalism.[/quote]

Oh well, another day, another troll. I'm curious about what it is that drives people like you and Sevarem to gratuitously insult people. Though, so I'm told, the theory is that very insecure people do this in the hope that they might be able to demean others, and thus improve their own relative position.

By the way, old sport, do try and research your facts. The "pretty much every school" is way off the mark - as are others' comments implying that I've ducked out of contracts early (NEVER), or been pushed out (with ONE exception). But then, trolls seldom let the truth stop them putting the boot in, do they?
[/i]

[quote="PsyGuy"]IYou certainly should let people know (thats why this website exists), but stamping your name all over it in a big F-U to the school is not helping you.[/quote]

You are right about this, but I'm one of those people who believe that if you've got something to say then you should have the courage to put your name to it - I guess I'm real lucky I don't live under a totalitarian regime, otherwise I'd have disappeared long ago.

Also, I included all the documentation, so that there could be no doubt that I am telling the truth: and it has my name on it, anyway.

If by big F-U you mean the artwork, this was very carefully thought out and deliberate. I wanted to create a dark atmosphere, to match the nature of the deed. The faces are Judas Iscariot, from the last supper, and the sides are Borsch.

[quote="sevarem"]Don't feed the troll. David Getling is a known poster over at the TES forums and he pulls stuff like this with schools all the time. He hasn't yet completed a contract.[/quote]

That time of the month again is it?

Now, in case you didn't know, a troll is some who [almost always anonymously] makes posts like yours :lol:

And as for the comment about completing contracts, it couldn't be more wrong. If you had the patience (and decency) to check, you would see that I just completed one - and have completed many, many more. But, you're the kind of person who ignores facts when they contradict your own cherished views.

By the way, I haven't seen this alias on the TES forums. Don't you think using more than one alias is a little paranoid?

[quote="WeDoDude"]I would have kept this matter private, negotiated a higher compensation fee with the school, kept it civil and professional and looked for employment elsewhere.[/quote]
Before creating this page, I did indeed try to negotiate higher compensation. After first trying personally, and being ignored, I then had my lawyer send the school a letter, which was also ignored. Finally I told them exactly the kind of web page I was going to produce, and was still ignored.

So, as you can see, I gave these arrogant people numerous opportunities to settle this in a civil and private manner. But it didn't work. So should I have let them just get away with it - and thus encourage them to do the same thing to someone else?

If I'd got the warning I'm now giving others there's an excellent chance that I would now be back teaching at a school where I really liked both my colleagues and the kids. That's part of what Bavarian International School has cost me.

[quote="kfssbjj"]You should always have a plan B.
At least they were going to give you some money. With all of your crying it sounds as if they made the right decision. They will probably be better off without you.[/quote]
Well, kfssbjj, what do you do when your not posting here? Sit under bridges, waiting to eat travellers.

Plan B? I had a legally binding contract with what I thought was a reputable school. What kind of plan should I have had? Sign a contract with several schools and then break all but one of them.

So, the school made the right decision because I bring injustices, and their perpetrators, to light? Unfortunately, many schools' ideal candidate is a brown noser who lets them kick sand in their face. But, what kids and their parents want is a teacher who is good at delivering their subject - they don't care what he posts on line.

Yes, what I've done will put a lot of schools off, but someone [stupid enough] has to start breaking the culture of fear that stops anybody speaking out.

OK, so you've done the phone interview, been offered the job, and both sides have signed the contract. The months go by and you receive the usual stuff from the school: welcome pack, help with relocation, various logins that you will need when you get there etc, etc.
You think this is a very reputable school, so you hand in your notice to the landlord and book your removals. What else can you do. But it's a well known reputable school, so this is exactly what you should be doing.
Then, about 3 weeks before you are due to move, WHAM! A letter arrives from the school saying they are not going to honour the contract.
Do they give a damn that you have forgone other excellent opportunities and will now be out of work - do they hell.

Learn from my experience, and don't let this school screw you too. For the full details, with signed copies of documents to show I'm telling the truth, have a look at:
