The parents are angry and do not believe a word of the seemingly foolish tale of "unable to provide visa, passport...".
I heard, today in the morning 3-4 or maybe even more parents who had merely come to drop their children to school had a fight with Mym and Mz demanding to know why Ad was fired, and Mym couldn't handle their aggression and finally burst into tears.
I wanted to know what Mz had to say about Mym's crying and parents' anger. She answered with perfect put on expressions and articulations:
'You know, Ad was having close contacts with the parents which according to teacher's contract in this school is illegal and forbidden. "She used to go to parties and dinners with several of her parents . Now when she is gone naturally the parents are angry; they are thinking, oh, with whom will we talk now? With whom to go to parties and dinners? That's why, they are angry..."
The whole school was in thorough commotion. Mk commented dejectedly to me and Cl that firing of this kind has happened several times in the past before his joining this school and after his joining.
As we had decided yesterday, I met Ad at a market square. I was glad and relieved to see her looking fine.
Then she told me in detail how her firing had come about.
" They had already decided several days ago that I needed to go. They had even put up a vacancy for native English speaking teacher (5 days prior to my firing) for my class in an advertising forum which a parent of mine ( for whom I have started doing baby sitting since 2 weeks.) happened to come across and inform me. They had even determined what excuse to take.
Accordingly, on this Monday, Mym gave me a paper and told me to sign it. The paper said, it was a final warning to me that if by 30th April I do not provide my medical certificate, police clearance etc I would be terminated. The letter's rude tone was maddening. I went to As immediately and asked her why was this notice being called final if this was the first time I was receiving it? Please rephrase this letter and I will sign it. You are making it all sound like it is all my fault that I am not giving you a so called paper.
As said I should talk to Stf about this. Half an hour later, Stf came in. She simply gave me another piece of paper which simply read " You are being terminated without notice." and I walked out of the school.
She showed me both these notices. Believe it or not I felt like I were reading my own termination notice.
"Papers is not reasons why I have been fired; Mz is the reason. This school is a horrible place. I am happy to have left it now.
"And no, I have no close contacts with any of my parents and I swear on my mother that I have never never never gone to any party, dinner or lunch with them. I only went for a cup of coffee with the mama of the child for whom I now do baby sitting. And that too was with full and due and prior permission from As not without. When she said, yes, I could go with that parent for a coffee, then only I went.
We talked for nearly 2 hours.
The gross injustice and sheer lack of logic and reason in this school management is sickening. How the hell could and why the hell would Mz, who is as much a teacher as any of us, wield such unshakable power over school management is beyond my senses and intelligence. But it nevertheless is true. Isn't it too much of an uncanny coincidence and by far too much repetitive that whoever falls foul of her has to pay with his job? I had read in History books that favorite mistresses of the kings used to wield such power over the king so that that their least desire used to become law in their land....
I think, Mz is not a bitch; she is a witch......!!!
