A most disrespectful act

Sep 20, 2013 Letters

Dear Editor,
Yesterday, 18 September 2013, you carried a story we found appalling, shocking and utterly surprising. It was about our beloved teacher/educator Sir Chandra. For the thousands who knew him as one of the country’s greatest primary educators and who have passed through his hand) we are flabbergasted to have learned about the charges brought against him and his appearance before the Honorable Judge.
Throughout our years sitting in his cramped classrooms we never knew that side of his character and for us he has crossed the red line. Even though we love him dearly we will not tolerate this disrespectful behaviour to Aunty.
We remember Aunty as a kind, charming and wonderful person. We must have drunk hundreds of gallons of water from her and she never showed any disgust. What Sir Chandra did to her was unacceptable and we want him to know that although he has contributed greatly to our scholarships and success; we are on her side and strongly condemn his actions.
In our years under his tutelage, he enforced the need for the boys in the class to show respect for the girls, and as such we have cultivated tremendous respect for our womenfolk.
We are absolutely certain that she will withdraw charges against him but should there be any reoccurrence we will take matters in our own hands. With the click of a button we will gather thousands of his former students and we will leave the rest to your imaginations what the reception will be.
Sir Chandra, you are so special to us that we speak about you every time we congregate, but you let us down. Please be nice to your family.
The family is the basic foundation of society, your wife is a garment to you and you are a garment to her. We urge you to desist from such behaviour and attitude, apologize to her and the rest of the family. Bring her flowers, take her to dinner and be the best individual you can aspire to be.
Yours truly Former students
Hana Mohamed, Z Bacchus, S Persaud, S Baksh, R Samuels, A Mohamed
