Setting the record straight ...

We are a group of honorable parents who care passionately about our SMC. We are not going to state our number so that Uncle A??? (so they call him) does not get a shock. We will give him a clue, to look at the number of participants to our pre-held polls on the left of the blog. However, we are sure he is smart enough to guess our group has grown up enormously since the last poll. Not to mention our supporters and empathizers to our cause, for which we are grateful and overwhelmed, after the huge damage he and his friends have caused to our Coptic school which is directly affecting the future of our kids (the future generation of our Coptic Church).

Uncle A??? (so they call him) is fishing in the muddy water, as always, by turning every opportunity into an attack on the Diocese and HG Bishop Daniel (always blame somebody else). We are not here to defend HG because we have our disagreements not with HG personally, unlike others, but with His Coptic education policies.

Nevertheless, it was brought to our attention that Uncle A??? (so they call him) was screaming his head off alleging that the Diocese and/or HG are recording his calls. Well, your intelligence has failed you this time Uncle A??? (so they call you), maybe it’s time for early retirement! He sent emails to half the globe without explaining how could this happen given his engineering credentials?!

Is this just a smoke screen because you are ashamed that you were exposed? Or, will you now deny the truth of what you said, as always?! Isn’t the context of what you said more important?!

Nice try to divert the attention of everybody to how you got caught, because you are always very careful, rather than discussing the context of what you said!! Very old, childish and stale strategy!!

Had Uncle A??? (so they call him) read Ibby’s email response and his analysis to the recording carefully, he would have known that the recording leaked from his closest possible ally (his disciple and loud voice). It is no brainer really to know that the recording side is the clearer. By the way, we do not know who Ibby is nor we have any relation what-so-ever with him. We thought we close this door in case Uncle A??? (so they call him) would like to use it as another exit strategy.

We would like to remind Uncle A??? (so they call him) of his knowledge and blessing of this person’s previous incident of recording a telephone call with HGBD on 13/12/2008. Do you recall this incident Uncle A??? (so they call you)?! We are happy to refresh your memory about this incident, in case the Dementia is taking its toll, in particular your advice to this person as of what to do with the recording rather than condemning his act?! If you'd like to, Uncle A??? (so they call you), please drop us a line.

We advise you not to deny this incident, in public or in private. Your denial will force us to defend ourselves, which will not be in your favour.

Why are you now surprised that this person (your disciple and loud voice) did it to you as he did it before to others with your full knowledge and blessing?!!

Uncle A??? (so they call you), we welcome any investigation into this matter because the outcome may not please you. In fact it will shock you, as it has the potential to expand.

Mr “N” is proven REALITY not “hearsay”

• “That there are known knowns,
• There are things we know that we know,
• There are known unknowns,
• That is to say there are things that we now know, we don't know
• But there are also unknown unknowns,
• There are things we do not know we don't know
• And each year we discover a few more
• Of those unknown unknowns.

  You don’t know what you don’t know. Now that I know, I wish I hadn’t known!!”

The above quote is extracted from an email dated Wed 5 Nov 2008 at 18:42:08 to Mrs C. Spirou (Vice President of SMC’s P&F 2008 & 2009 and President for two years prior) from a very passionate parent at SMC (will call him here Mr Xxx). The email was among a thread of emails between the pair which has reached us among others as a result of email leaks.

On Tue 4 Nov 2008 at 22:32:52, in an email to Mrs C. Spirou, Mr Xxx revealed a wicked scenario that was designed to bring another mate of the Board members Mr “N” to SMC as a Head Of College. The scenario was spelled out in the email as follow:

“Is the following scenario fair?!
The ad will be placed close to the school holidays.
No one to apply as all candidates will be already committed by then.
Communication is in place with Mr “N” who is already promised the position.
Mr “N” will be the only applicant.
Mr “N” signs up his contract during the school holidays.
The parents will be meeting and greeting Mr “N” the new HOC in 2009.
They are kidding!!”

Well, it is proven now that they were not kidding.
Please read the attached announcement in the Spring Of Love Issue 1035 dated Sun 12 July 2009, p11.

The revelation by Mr Xxx did not deter the Board from executing their scenario. Perhaps a little change won’t hurt, which might have been a little advice from the “management guru” SMC’s consultant Uncle A??? (this is how they call him, may be in respect to his age!!). So instead of HOC, let us make him a Head Of Primary! That will work!!

Is it a coincident that the email mentioned above dated 4th November 2008 shortly before Mr “N” announces his resignation from his previous job on 24th November 2008? Please refer to attached copy of newsletter.

After repeated insistence of Mr Xxx that Mr “N” had been interviewed and was promised the senior position at SMC, Mrs C. Spirou pledged “if this is the case, I will myself call the Board and ask questions”

On the same day between 8:04 and 8:25 pm, Mrs C. Spirou calls someone and say this; “I have just spoken to the one I thought was the one you were referring to, but he has NOT been interviewed or been offered the job. He is also not considering applying for the job at all (and that is the truth - I just called him)”.

Now, Mrs C. Spirou,
· Who do you think was not saying the truth?!

· Do you think you owe Mr Xxx an apology?!
· Will you now call the Board and ask questions?! Or were you part of the scenario?!

· Do you feel betrayed/ disappointed by losing your ambition (Deputy HOC position) by giving it to another one of their mates?! Clever distribution of roles, is it not?!
· Will you protest this action by the school executives and the Board?! How?!

If this is the best they know about managing a school,

God help us and our children.
