To
the parents that think the actions of the teachers are unacceptable.
In
case you haven't been involved, I feel that the Board of Trustees is the
one who is taking our children, the teachers and staff, and all of us
hostage during the current situation. How else would you like to handle
things if the Board of Trustees is not willing to be professional and
face up to the issues at hand. There are countless questions that need
to be answered and nobody is stepping forward to do so. This is in itself
is a sign of weakness and guilt on their part.
They
have not had the decency to communicate clearly their actions or their
motives let alone face up to the school. They have acted in a "policed
state" sort of manner by even having the gall of cutting off email communication
between the teachers, I'm sure if they could do it to some of the parents
then they would.
There
have been several opportunities for the Board to dialog with teachers
and parents but to no avail. We are dealing here with incompetents. Rumor
has it that they have evidence on Mr. David Toze and why he deserves to
be fired, well if they are so sure about this then why don't they come
out with it? Explain to the school what they plan to do.
This
is a crisis situation and myself as much as all of us wants to end this
standoff as soon possible by putting as much pressure we can on the Board
to resign, the only way to do this is to sign the proxy that will move
for re-election of a new Board or to force them all to resign immediately.
Let
us team together for the good of our children. Please come to any of these
meetings to sign up.
Today
Wednesday, September 6th (Manila Polo Club at 7pm) ; Thursday, September
7th (Manila Golf Club, 7pm) and on Friday, September 8th (Manila Polo
Club, 7pm).
