Life is full of these adjustments and calibrations ... you're just getting better aligned and positioned for wonderful opportunities. This realignment will also make you more sensitive to the future of your students, who will have 14 jobs in their lifetime, according to many estimates. Much luck to you. Many of us have been keeping an enjoyable eye on your blog; and I plan to continue to do so. Good look in your road ahead Jabiz.

Your students obviously learned much more than blogging from you and it will them that ultimately lose out in the long run from your departure from the classroom.

Such moving comments from your students reflect the impact you've had on them. Truly moving. You are a powerful educator and I am so disappointed that I will not have the opportunity to work with you in Doha. ..Full steam ahead, intrepid man! Wow!

Still, given that you say the material on your personal blog wasn't put there to purposely insult, I must say that the outcome seems extremely severe. I can't begin to imagine these kinds of consequences happening to a teacher here - I've never heard of anything like it. I think the comments from all the students are a testament to your abilities but out of all of your students, Will's comment particularly shows the positive impact you had on those kids. You sound as if you were born to teach and I'm sure you'll find another rewarding job.

We have had no notification from the school about what is going on; if you hadn't written to the students I would be entirely in the dark! I intend to speak with the principal about all this because I can't imagine you have done anything so awful that it justifies disrupting the school year in this way. Please know that the children miss you, Natasha is really grieving. You touched lives. Good luck to your family, remember you are intrepid and you will get through this tough patch. Mr. Raisdana,
