I don’t see a link between the principal’s retirement vs the sweeping national security law .

但我哋只能根據現有的資料（新聞內容）去推理，而新聞中的確冇講話校長因為國安法而決定退休。

I just feel the reporter is trying to blow up the whole thing by associating that with the new law. I think these are 2 different topics which don’t hv much correlation.

The article mentions the principal has "resigned", not "retired", and the school is also advertising for replacements for heads of science, maths and learning support, along with primary and kindergarten teachers, so it sounds like it was not just the principal resigning.

sorry, 發文時記錯左係退休，謝指正。
我諗好多國際學校年年都會請老師，學校大，老師數量都會比較多，自然來來去去既人數都會多左，要比較返佢過去幾年每年既招聘人數先可以得知係咪同國安法有關。

中美角力，香港係中間，拳來腳往，點會唔中招。

Cap from that newspaper-
"Teachers weren't going to get up and come home simply because of COVID-19 and the protests. Hong Kong was a relatively safe place to be with an addictive lifestyle. However, all these new restrictions are starting to eat away at the expats living there."

In an interview with the SCMP, Greer said principals at ESF secondary schools had already been looking at the curriculum following the implementation of the new laws, while focusing on the continuity of pupils’ learning and “making sure that everybody is safe”.
