How did Helmy manage to lose 80 out of 200 students in six weeks? Through sheer foolishness and incompetence. Care to elaborate? Ashley Platts was pushing the line that the way to the future was Indonesian managers and teachers. If the best TBI could do in expats was Ashley Platt’s choice, Chris Needham, perhaps he…
