In response to Re Abused esl teacher need some advice: (Paul Greene)

Part of the problem is that it is often hard to prove these slurs as there is a lack of real evidence, especially in regards to drinking.

Not to mention that some of those teachers that like to take the moral high ground; forget that in some cultures, drinking isn't considered to be some evil thing, in Germany, the U.K, Australia, it is not that unusual to go for a beer straight after work and at weekends; we tend to overdo it. There is an unrealistic expectation for teachers to be perfect role models; when they are simply human beings like anybody else in a different profession. Teaching can be a wonderful, but very stressful job, sometimes we need to relax.

As for womanising... Maybe we often do to an extent, but we are a bit more honest (and excessively emotional) about such similar topics here (the kind that offend feminists), especially in regards to prostitution (which is legal in many countries and is therefore not some kind of horrendous crime!). Regardless, many of those discussions are valid, especially those that regard cultural differences in dating habits (which have a great effect upon the daily lives of FTs!). Many of those making accusations about inappropriate behaviour are also not so open about their own behaviour.

However, just like outside in the real world; if you try too hard to damage the reputation of others without anything real to refer to; people will start to ask questions about yourself, rather than the person that you are accusing. Whenever a crap school tries to place blame upon a FT, it always backfires, but they never learn...
