eh.. it's incomplete...

still have:
In the end, the new teacher did not resign. However, a year later, he was transferred to an "elite" school to teach a "gifted" class; perhaps "elites" are more compatible with "gifted" people. Yet, if every teacher was like him, who will educate the students in neighbourhood schools?

i guess perhaps in current context,
its always just bout themselves le.

poeple would think ahead:
im a fresh grad,i study at somewhere elite,
so if i teach,
i shld be drawin at least how much salary,
and teachin at somewhere elite too.

people no longer teach for passion like then already.
kinda sad.
