[DisabilityExams]

Most Americans don't know the difference between civil and criminal law.

[yamamancha]

Dr. John: Did you violate your contract?
Caller: So, I didn't break any laws...
Me: Thank goodness this person is no longer a teacher...

[lkjg]

Life Lesson: Employment contracts are rarely for the benefit of the employee.

[ktsterlin]

Read the contract yourself and make sure you understand how to get out of it BEFORE you sign it.

One thing I learned about Dave is that he is very particular about contracts.

As a teacher myself, I know that this teacher is liable because most teachers are given paid long vacations and the one thing the school expects from teachers is to show up and hopefully avoid being sick as much as possible during the school year. If a teacher does not want to teach for another year in the same school, he or she should not sign a renewal (if not tenured). This guy must have gotten another job, hopefully not in teaching, so he ditched the school. He has no integrity and should not be a teacher

*Dave:* Did you violate your contract?
*Caller:* I did not break any laws

[OscarGonzalez-ihvc]

This guy is teaching our youth. God help us.

[jjman]

That school board should be HAPPY this guy no longer works for them. Parents who's kids were being taught by this guy in that former school should be HAPPIER.

[ShakespeareCafe]

Don’t start a statement or answer with SO

[dianarosas]

Did Dave just quote Sophia Petrillo?😂
“There’s a hurricane a’comin!”
...my two worlds collide...

[geofferypmeyers]

Let me tell you about a thing called ✨contract law✨

[dldavis]

I work as a teacher in N.C. and we are under 1 year contracts however you can resign without penalty if you give a 30 day notice. We have teachers switch schools midyear all the time.

[rikkifashionhouse]

You needed an attorney advice on common sense that was written out?!!???

[williebrown]

I'm a teacher you can get out of your contract without penalty as long as you do it before a certain day most of the time its the end of June just depends on the district.

[braceyourselvesfortruth]

"You need legal advice...pile up some cash."

Those two sound mutually exclusive.

[codys]

Our education system has failed this teacher ironically enough. You violate your contract, you'll be held to the terms of the contract

[jdafinancialservices]

It’s important to know this information contract are serious! I’ve paid thousands to get outta the contracts. Thanks Dave

[onelittlelamb]

I like getting in a new vocabulary words while getting in my daily dose of Dave Ramsey… legal terms today…

[aroff]

I think it's a little unfair to assume the lawyer gave bad advice. This guy does not seem very bright. It's entirely possible he either did not follow the lawyer's advice or did not give the lawyer the proper information. Regardless, it's good that he is no longer a teacher.

[Ay-B]

People nowadays don't want to take responsibility for anything! You break your contract, you pay. Just because you want to do a thing doesn't mean it's okay and you escape any consequences. Ugh!
