A B.C. middle school teacher who was fired last spring has had his teaching certificate suspended for two weeks in connection with claims of inappropriate emails with a student and taking sick leave to travel to Japan.
The B.C. Commissioner for Teacher Regulation issued a decision this week stating that Alex Chen admitted to professional misconduct during his time teaching in the Saanich School District and accepted the suspension as part of a consent resolution agreement with the commission.
