Subject: Re: 3:00 p.m. Meeting today
Dear members of the
ISM board of trustees,
My 2 children are presently
in ISM for the past 12 years and I have seen and observed the transition
of the school from the old to the new one under the leadership of Mr.Toze
but I know for a fact that he contributed so much in the new curriculum
of the school improving the quality of education of ISM that deteriorated
before the coming of Mr.Toze in ISM.
We are saddened by the
incident that happened yesterday, obviously it is a manifestation of disrespect
to the headmaster of the school as an educator, a violation of human rights
and a public display of tyranny most especially so to the young minds
of the students.
These young minds that
the school are molding as a contributor to a global community of peace
love harmony understanding values leadership so that in the future they
will bring these to others. We as parents OUR initial instinct is to protect
the environment of our children especially the school. It is not a matter
of how far a person have achieve in his /her education to understand the
word RESPECT towards others. It is not the power either that can bring
solution to a problem but humility and understanding.
Nothing can be achieved
thru power struggle but a true leader must be a servant first so that
he /she will understand how to lead others.
In our own little way
of bringing our children to one of the best school in our country,we believed
that for every delay of action on your part to ACCEPT the consequences
of that horrible mistake then the VALUES that we have instilled to our
children in our home will be greatly jeopardize. All we wanted as parents
is to add more and learned more in their school unfortunately this is
no longer the direction of ISM.
We the parents who attended
the meeting this afternoon are supporting the stand of the teachers of
ISM in behalf of Mr. Toze. The EDUCATORS the SECOND PARENTS OF OUR CHILDREN
hereby request the board to voluntarily resign as an example that can
be shown to the CHILDREN AND UPHOLD THE INTEGRITY OF THE SCHOOL AND OUR
BELOVED TEACHERS.
We are no longer confident
with the board of trustees. We believed that this week is too long not
to resolve this issue. TIME is crucial for us. The education of OUR CHILDREN
is at STAKE.
Respectfully,
Rema P.Ohno
