In a certain school, the Principle has been issuing various letters to the Teachers over trivial issues and seems like his letters are suggesting a tone of harassment. I am writing this post to get professional help and get a better understanding of the possible actions and associated rules.
PFB the excerpt from most recent letter.
"In spite of many oral reminders and circulars given to you and all teaching staff regarding not to sit in the class during teaching, some of you have not shown any improvement in this regard and are still repeating the same practice without any fear in mind specially during the examinations.
It is very shocking to me that even during my routine visit to all the classes of the school in between the teaching periods, some of you are quite frequently found seated in their class. It simply indicates that you don't have any fear in your mind and regard to the head of the institution.
Today the undersigned personally observed you sitting on chair during the weekly test examination, therefore you are hereby directed to submit your written reply to the undersigned within 48 hours that why not the undersigned should not take a strict Disciplinary action against you?
Principal"
I request you to suggest a reply to this letter considering the fact that the recipient Teacher is 55 years old female and is suffering from diabetes, leg and muscle pain.
Though I understand the importance of an invigilator during an exam, I think all the factors should be considered for an experienced teacher who has been with the school for almost 15 years and is excellent at delivering quality education to her students. I think in spite of writing such letters, Principal should support his staff while covering the bases like assigning duty to a young co-teacher/attendant when he feels that such a requirement is not being fulfilled.
Looking forward to your help. Thanks.
