Dear Goanetters, I certainly do not want to burden you with the ills of our St. Xavier's HS, Moira. As is well understood, TidBits is mostly my reaction to the news items in the papers etc. St. Xavier's HS has been in "headline" news and therefore my reactions and follow-ups.
It is most appropriate for Miguel Braganza to defend his own sister. However, the goal I have set for myself, as an ex-student of this school, is not so much as to malign the management of the school but to expose the lack of application of mind by the management of the Diocesan Society of Education (DSE) under Fr. Tony Salema. In short, what I am saying is that, if the top management dances to the tune of many fiddles, it is hardly going to do a good job of it. Also, to come back to the school management, it is particularly interesting to note the reason given for the recent sacking of the trained KG teacher of 8 years, who happens to be the parent of one of the victim students (fourth to go) Quote Since the KG classroom is renovated, the teachers have been changed Unquote. I have personally told the Principal (Fr. Manuel Fernandes) that the management could have done a service to the sacked teacher by giving her a fresh coat of paint when sending her home. This year's SSC results of the school is 58 percent pass. St. Xavier's High School, Moira was a 100 percenter in the past years as well as one of the top schools in Goa. Also noteworthy is the fact that as many as 19 students are presumed to have failed in ALL SUBJECTS (this info is thro' one of the school teachers and is being verified) In view of the above, even a blind person can see that there is more of politiking than teaching in the school. Since Miguel Braganza has mentioned Adv. Aires Rodrigues' name in his post, I would request Miguel to take note of the remarks made by Aires (representing the 2 students) in his letter dated 17th. April, 2003 to the Dy. Director of Education re: condonation/regularisation of their absence , a copy of which is marked to the Headmistress.
