The reason for becoming fired is that according to officials in the garden, "I did not take the child to the bathroom." Leon says, "When a child goes to the toilet, both boys and girls are asked to bring all of them to the toilet at the same time, which is impossible."

In the classroom assigned to Leon, there is no toilet, and when children go to the toilet it is necessary to go through the cafeteria, in that case also Mr. Leon needed to attend for safety. Mr. Leon's lawyer claims that "When looking after the children from the rest to the rest, I do not think it is appropriate for education to look after the rest." "Also, Mr. Leong is good at teaching but I can not walk quickly because my legs are bad, and since a few years ago I am using a cane as well, why do I have to give a 80-year-old teacher a classroom without a toilet Is not it? "

So far, Mr. Leon has never raised any problems and has earned $ 1009 / year (about 7,830,000 yen) annually, which means that the ability as a teacher is certain. Leon's hope of 34 years of education is that he wants to teach children only once. Will a wish of a veteran teacher arrive?

According to the person, Mr. Leung is a very good teacher, he seems to have been sitting next to helping solve the problem when there is a troubled child, and somehow she is hoping that she will be able to return to work .
