LOL

Translation: We suggested that she might want to join Tom Farquhar in pursuing a career as an organic vegetable grower. [/quote]As you attempt to perpetuate a lie. Tom Farquhar will be heading an international school in Dubai.  Translation:  shut up if you don' t know what you're talking about.[/quote]

Evidently Tom Farquhar didn't know what he was talking about when he told staff and parents he wanted to pursue a career as an organic vegetable grower.

One thing is certain: the sex scandal referenced in the above article had NOTHING to do with his departure.  Nothing at all.

Tom wasn't lying - he announced that he was leaving at the end of the school year 2015 to concentrate on his organic farming, which he and his wife do at their home/farm in Maryland. Then he got the offer from Dubai and asked to be let out of his contract a year early. [/quote]

So taking that at face value, we can draw the following conclusion: organic farming at home is preferable to being head master at Sidwell, but not preferable to being the head of some school in Dubai, UAE.  Perhaps there is more academic freedom in the UAE?[/quote]Why do you care?  Why does anyone care?  Why am I hear at this ungodly hour?  Oh, yes.  I'm on call.[/quote]*here*.  I need caffeine.[/quote]
