Well I thought to myself, that's something you don't see everyday. I mean, let's face it, the facts have to be told people!
Now I am in no way trying to bag Cambodia, students in MVU, the printers of the newspaper etc. All I'm saying is that there is something ominous about this ad. I find it a bit strange that people are being urged to go and do teaching jobs in Cambodia while there is a short supply of teachers here in Australia (or in my state at least, Victoria). Because of teacher shortages, class sizes have gone up a lot. I think about 5 years ago, the average class size in Victoria was about 15 or 20 students per class. Now it's something like 25 or even in some extreme cases 30 students per class. Quite an increase in terms of sustainability.
If you don't assure your security first BEFORE helping other people, than both of you could face ruin. That applies in this case. If we can't get enough teachers to run the schools here, then we can't spare any teachers to ......
