If you find someone is cheating you, what will you do? I was at school recently and most of my classmates are eager to confront our instructor lying us. That instructor asked us P700.00 each for our daily workshops but we didn't see any materials. He said that he bought a hard disk drive. One of my classmates asked only for a receipt of what he'd bought but our instructor cannot show the receipt to us. I think, confront him is the best thing. What about you? Would you let other people get blinded for what he's doing?

Yeah, right, simple amount could ruin their whole life! I really can't imagine how to handle such situation... it's shame.

Yeah, he is an Engineer you know and he is not a good teacher, I mean, we felt that we were wasting our time being on that school. We really value our time, he didn't. So, getting some other job would be the best thing for him, not a teacher of course... if he really wants to be an instructor/teacher he needs to undergo training.

the best suitable term for that..exchanging life, title, dignity and name for just a SMALL amount.why not wait for the salary or do some extra job to get the money they needed.

What if you try to tell the concerned authorities that is report him your school authority. You do not need to confront him yet you just have to be patient and first of all go through due process to try and solve this situation. I think that is the best approach for now except your school authority is not reliable and corrupt.

We did because that is the right thing to do and we are told to go together with the whole class to confront him. I don't think our school is not reliable nor corrupt but this instructor destroyed the school's good reputation.

That was due process, since you have been given an instruction to go and confront him then peacefully do it with your classmates and make sure you bring out the main facts and evidences against any of his defence if at all he wants to bring out one. You are doing the right thing now and please let me know the out come. Goodluck.

You should confront him. He asked you guys for money to buy materials, but he didn't give you any materials. What's the hard drive for? You should all raise questions as to where your money is.

Some of my classmates are planning to confront him. We are taking Computer Technician course. We have tried installing OS and partitioning a hard drive. So, we need one hard disk for it. Sad to say, we didn't see any hard disk. Thanks for your response.

Oh then you really need to confront your teacher. He's obstructing your class by not coming up with the hard drive that you need. It's your money so you have the right to know where it goes to ^_^
