It’s PTA evening, the first one since the highly
successful International Day, so it should be a time of jubilation, but it is
not.
Boss in Ato Sin are present, and the agenda includes
Health and Safety at my school, academics and behaviour. It’s not good, but at
least the accusations are laid squarely on Boss’ shoulders.
It has got out into the public domain that our school
was cut off from the power-supply from non-payment of bills, was without paper
for 5 days, and still no closer to resolving our water shortage. To my complete
dismay, both endeavour to defend the indefensible to the point where parents
are endeavouring to insist that they just want to help improve the situation.
Boss then goes on to inform the parents that this was part of an Action Plan
that only Ato S had seen. She also talks about a non-existent Health and Safety Sub-committee that no-one in the room has any knowledge about.
I can;t bare the deciept and lies any longer. I thank
Boss for bringing over the Health Auditor (a freebie she picked up from UK)
informed parents that all the original concerns remain and the Directors were
waiting patiently for any response from The Three since January.. I inform
parents i had requested 9 toilet seats since September, but none had arrived on
campus. I also inform them that i had requested ceiling fans to improve air
quality and ventilation, soap dispensers but refrain from sharing my 9 month
wait for liquid soap. Nothing has arrived in, the rat catchers waited 5 days
before turning up only to catch 0 rodents. Meanwhile all Mr Z’s books and
teaching material are getting nibbled away. Boss doesn’t look pleased but i don’t
give a shit. It’s my first day back at work from holiday and i have just
clocked up a continuous 15 hour day.
I listen to a parent rant at Boss – “i am sick and
tired of watching the school slide further down the drain”. Both GW and myself
busily scribble the damning quote down. Boss snakes a smile and pretends it’s
no water of her back.
It meanders for hours and i hate every second of it.
What am i still doing here?
