Teacher fired for running from quake school and was later quoted as saying, "At such a life-or-death moment, I would only consider sacrificing my life for my daughter. I would not do it for anyone else, even my mother," which made his mom feel just great.
The reality of his perspective makes some sense to me as a parent. I would lay down my life to protect my children. However, if I were a teacher, I would almost certainly consider my classroom of children to be MY children as well. Part of the charter of a teacher is to protect your children from harm.
Fan Meizhong abandoned his duty as a teacher and sought to save only himself. He is no longer fit to teach or protect children. And he deserved to lose his job because of it. I know if he were teaching my kids, I wouldn't let them go back into his classroom knowing he's looking out for himself and possibly his daughter, everyone else is on their own. Nice attitude.
At least none of the children in his class died despite his cowardice and dereliction of duty.
Rule #191 is Protect Your Kids, Biological and Otherwise
