Long Time Student Leaving The School

[SteveLau]

A real incident that happened in Hong Kong in the last couple of years inspires me to start this thread. Suppose a student has decided to leave the school, and shut tie with it completely. How should he do so? If his leaving of the school is a fact, what should the school operator do then? In the case I mention above, the student told his leave and the detail in a local magazine. Later on, the school operator announced to the public that they dismissed the student. The action of the school operator looks familiar to me. It has a name called saving face. We find it happens sometimes in the work place. An employee resigns first. Then, his employer gives him a termination letter.

P.S. Name of person and organization involved in the case will not be provided.
