On Consideration...

Those of you who read my blog regularly may remember a post I published on 10th April entitled 'My Maria Problem' in which I detailed the problems I was having with my then boss. All of the information contained in that post was factual except the final paragraph (before the tagline) which contained my opinion of my ex-boss. She, via her partner, has found this blog and has been reading it diligently.

After a tussle about the final payment on my contract, she told me that a clause in the contract I signed (written in Italian) stated that I could not write about her, the organisation or the students. Now, it doesn't surprise me that there is a clause about not behaving in any way that might bring the organisation into disrepute (although no such thing was mentioned when I signed the contract) but I'm pretty sure that there is nothing in the contract regarding me writing about about my students, and, even if there was, nothing I have written could in any way be used to identify them individually.

On the point about not writing anything about my ex-boss - I'm pretty sure that's not covered in the contract. However, I am aware that, despite my not naming any names (not only of my ex-boss but also not of the organisation I worked for), it would be easy for someone here in Vigevano, especially one of my students, to identify either. It is out of respect for my students that I have decided to take that post down.
