I have informed Mtn

I am sick and on medical leave since three days. Yesterday, I received Cl's message informing that she was also not going to school due to eye infection. I wonder what's happening at school with both the teachers missing from the group and an additional shortage of teachers on the whole....!

Yesterday, I received Mtn's mail as the chairman of the committee which is the highest office within the committee. The mail was a gesture of formal introduction of the parent's association to all the parents of the school besides openly inviting them just like last year to a nearby meeting point to know and discuss affairs of the school. I thought it was a good opportunity to unveil the food problem.

I wrote an anonymous mail through another id to Mtn telling him about the whole food problem. He might have wondered who sent it but that's not important.
He has promptly replied back that he is also aware of this problem since his son who is now in Mz's group daily reports the food not being good and that he didn't eat because the taste was bad. The other parents that he has casually talked about also reported that their children are also not eating well due to something being wrong with the food. He assured me that he is going to take some steps to find a cure.

A lot of people will consider me a traitor since I leaked an inside info to the committee. But I am not a traitor; far from it, I am trying to help the school which is an institution, the school's name and mission, and above all the children and the parents. Being a teacher and a human being I find it unacceptable to cheat little innocent children to feed them unplatable, unhealthy or bad food just because the head of the school has decided she wants to save money by providing a cheap caterer although she continues to charge heftily for the same. Well, in fact I don't care how much she charges for the meals. I am just concerned that the little children must not be fed bad food or kept hungry the whole day. This is totally unacceptable and must not be allowed to continue under any circumstances.

What I apprehend however, is that Stf is the boss and remains the boss whether its heaven or hell. Assuming the committee will pressurize her to know why the kids were being catered badly she has a hundred false remedies to make. She might placate them by saying that the caterer will now improve his service after so many complaints or just switch from the cheapest caterer to the second cheapest one in town which makes absolutely no sense at all.

I am keeping my fingers crossed. I hope he is able to resolve this issue especially since he also has the right authority to address it.
Let's see what happens...!
