Anonymity, integrity, honesty and BSB

The British School of Bucharest has, as I have pointed out before, many good points, but the lack of staff stability is not one of them. The question is why. One could just use heaps of adjectives but that would not be creditable or verifiable. So I have chosen to tell the stories of many staff members to illustrate the problems. These stories are true, credible and verifiable.

The response from BSB has not been to challenge the statements made, because they know that what has been written here is true. Instead they went on a fishing expedition to try to flush out the authors so they could denigrate them. So there was a comment published by Tommac alias the principal, which made many false statements about the 3 staff members she thought were behind this blog, in the hope that they would get a response that would identify the author. She thinks she knows but she hasn't got it right yet.

I have no doubt that parents and staff have all been told who the administration thinks is running this blog and have doubtless they been fed a lot of terrible stories about them, as the dishonest comments by tommac showed. In stories yet to come it will become very apparent about who is telling the truth and who is not, because that, is one of the issues that has to be dealt with at BSB.

The purpose of anonymity is to focus attention on the issues, without that BSB managers would shoot the messenger (as they have already tried to do) instead of heeding the message.

It is not my intention to denigrate the fine pupils or staff of BSB, the problem is not with them, the intention is to alert prospective and current staff to the problems in the school management. Forewarned is forearmed.

The problem at BSB is with top management and the solution is in the hands of the parents.
