[Resolved]  School — St. Joseph Convent Chittaranjan Should be Closed Immediately

As a guardian of a student and ex-teacher of St. Joseph’s Convent High School, Chittaranjan, I want to highlight some (better to say all) bogus systems and rotten-infrastructure of this school. First of all it is better to clarify that I was appointed as a contract teacher for the school in the month of January, 2009 and kicked out in March 2009, my fault was that I am an M.Sc(Tech) and in the eyes of the school administration my answer script checking was not up to the level as their 10th standard pass teachers are doing the same job from last 5 years. The present principal Sister Teresa Martis B.S. is a woman who knows some of the terms of physics and/or mathematics up to class 2 standard and cannot open her email account, administrating a higher secondary school. Maximum of the teachers are undergraduate and a few may be 2 or 3 among total 70 are post graduate who are teaching rather spoiling the careers of 12th standard students. As there is no option for non-Railway public residing in Chittaranjan, so they are compelled to admit their candidate to this 3rd class school at the cost of money. Again the problem arises here during the admission of the new session April’ 2009. The monthly fees are hiked from RS 560/- P.M. to RS 1350/- P.M. without prior information before admission.
This is not the end. School administration claims this hike in fees is due to the new pay commission act by Government, but does it implies that the fees of a K.G-1 student and a 12th standard student will become same. Yes, the fees from K.G.-1 to Class 12th is same and it is RS 1350/- P.M. Calculation says the total income of the school is (RS 1350/- X 1300 students) = RS 17, 55, 000/- whereas the average salary ( as per their new notification) range is RS 8000/- (contract teachers) to RS 18000/- ( permanent teachers) P.M. and the school has 21 permanent teachers 49 contract teachers and 11 non-teaching stuffs. If the average salary is taken 12000/- P.M. for all teaching and non-teaching stuffs then total monthly expenditure as payment is (RS 12000/- X 81 stuffs) = RS 9, 72, 000/- (taking the highest possible value) and let us take other expenditure is RS 2, 00, 000 P.M. (the maximum possible for a school where K.G. class rooms are having Asbestos roofs), hence the total expenditure becomes RS 11, 72, 000/- P.M. then the rest (RS 17, 55, 000 – RS 11, 72, 000) = RS 5, 83, 000 is going to whose pocket? The respected General Manager of Chittaranjan says he has nothing to do in this regard as this school is under Christian Jurisdiction or whatever even the S.D.O. asked principle for negotiation (under the pressure of guardians) and Teresa says it is the father who can decide, the father says it is the Bishop who can take decision and the Bishop says the Holy Father …. And so on father of fathers, ultimately The God can take the decision.

This is just a notification to the respected Government, otherwise public will take step and that will be a black day for the history of Indian Education System.

Absolutely not!!! I am a student studying in this school at present.
Tell me one thing. Do you think Mrs Lopa, Mrs Pranati Mrs Jayanti are not qualified teachers? Who the hell says so.
You comment these on the net. Have you got the guts to say it in front of the public?
I dare say, non o[censored]or high school teachers are undergraduate, nor are the teachers.
Dare you say a single word against our school!


SOURANIL PAUL
CLASS 8 A
And, do you think that Mrs. Chhanda, Mrs. Baby Rani, Mrs Kusum Bagga, are all undergraduate? How low mentality you guys have. Go round and see how many schools have e - learning facilities! Go!!!
You unscrupulous stupid people.
I shall fire a case against you all first.
Sir. Ravi, our present edurite coordinator has passed his M( tech). Do you know that?
And dare you say a word against our Principal. You have not come across her with opened eyes. She is a lady with moral principles.
And the ex-students? How dare you comment on things which you have not been through?
How do you spit on the people who have taught you till your tenth grade, like this? Is this the way how you show respect to your teachers?
Listen, you fools, IF A SINGLE WORD AGAINST OUR SCHOOL IS PUBLISHED ON THE NET HEREAFTER, YOU BE WELL PREPARED FOR WHAT I AM GOING TO DO NEXT!
really I appreciated those person who had written the truth in this column. St.joseph's present principal is good person by heart but her ears are weak. Some bad character teacher have always input wrong data infront of her, some times she ignored them and sometime she listened to them, but she sometime do/did injustice with the teacher/student. The main profession of this school teachers r buttering, in-front of principal "u r a great person " behind her says "third class sister I have ever seen in this school". Old teachers r telling that this principal is torturing them giving them lots of burden but infront of Sister "U R GREAT"(HORRIBLE LADY TEACHER) playing with students life, Teachers have lack of knowledge, class 6- 10 need some good teachers, just imagine "sister" whenever u appoint any teacher PLEASE CHECK THE CERTIFICATE NOT CHECK THE RELIGION. I KNOW we love our religion BUT LIMIT IS LIMIT.non standard person's r present here Listen ANYONE KNOW ABOUT SWATI ND BANANI. top class business lady showing their body infront of male teachers and enjoying with them inside the staff.room. we have often seen MISS BANANI IN PARK STREET AREA ND ESPLANDEa business area showing saree instead of her body and (SWATEE )CHITTARANAN"S past notorious girl having a REDLIGHT girl attitude
Souranil Pal, i believe u r in class 9 right now. U will say good things about this Teresa Martis, as the word is around that u r a big spoon(chamcha) of her's. Cud u please go an ask her why c was almost in jail had the case not been withdrawn. C is a hypocrite as being a nun she is the biggest liar. C appoints unqualied teachers so that c can make more profit by paying them less, which is spoiling the studies of the students of the school. Just yesterday c appoint an english teacher who doesn't even no how 2 speak eng. C praised Mr. Tony Dingdo that he has 14 years of national and international experience. Tell me something, why was such a person running a canten and not working in a good instituation. C doesn't know what c talks. The computer teacher does not know enough yet she is a teacher there. How qualified is Mrs. Jenni Maji, Miss Ruby Banarjee, Mr Roman Antony's daughter, Mrs Pamela daughter just to name a few from the primary section. Just because they r christian they r there.Mrs Jenni Maji i believe is not even class 7 or 8 pass. Talk of quality teacher, this is quality. Buttering works more then qualification and degree o diploma. Ask me my friend is a victim of her injustice.
What happened Souranil Pal and not Paul, bolti band. By the way why do you guys call yourselfs Paul and not Pal when you guys are actually Pal.
lolxxxx
:p
It is so disheartening that the teaching standard of St Joseph Convent HS School, Chittaranjan degrading day by day...its looks like a money making organisation now a days...may be this for inadequate, improper Infrastructure, management, teachers and staffs. It is my request to the management that, please improve the teaching quality... teach the students the reality of life...teach them how to save the earth...and stop show business. Try to understand why the parents are sending their children to the school...please stop money making show business.
Treasa Martis has shown Rs 7+ crores of expenditure towards rebuilding the school building out of which Rs 3+ crores must have gone into her pocket. She keeps saying please don't cheat me in the name of god, however she herself has cheated the catholic church as the school belongs to the church and not Bethany society.
Finally the new principal is here and she is correcting the wrongs done by St. Teresa Devil. The new principal has ordered and given all untrained teachers 2 years to get themselves trained cause she does not want her school to close down. St Teresa Devil use to show certificates of people who don't even belong to the school when there is a checking of teachers. This is the kind of DEVIL the parents and students were facing for 4 years. She robed the school crores of rupees in the name of construction.
ya this is the 100% fact about this school...as being an ex-student of this school i totally agree with you...they have extacted such a huge amount of money from our parents that even the supporting nd the cleaning staff has the most newest brand of bikes...i have many complains toward sister teresa but have more complains towards the teaching staff whose was always partial to some of the students...thats it well the principal now has changed so lets see how is she going to change the fate of her school
Sr. Teresa Martis is gone and gone for good for it was indeed pitiful for her to be surrounded by a bunch o[censored]ngrateful psychos in Chittaranjan...
Presently... her being appointed as the Principal of a college in Arunachal Pradesh has indeed done her much good and done justice to a lady of her calibre...
And guess what... at the inauguration of the college... The CM himself ... Mr. Nabam Tuki...came to visit the college... that's no story... go type it out and see it for yourself on the Web. ..
And as for the school St. Joseph's Chittaranjan. ... I guess it's evident how much the school needed her, now that the administrative power has passed on...
I don't want to comment much on the post Sr. Teresa regime... but then I think... A brief chat with any present pupil or a trip around the school will show you what I mean to say...

And... my bolti was never band... Mr. 2chef62...
And... By the way... why don't you have real names to go around with?
O! And regarding the KG students studying under asbestos roof... Mr. pensilpensil... The one who started this whole string of altercation...
with all due respect. ... you must've been thrown out BEFORE the three storeyed ICSE Primary building came up, thus shifting the KG classes to the Sunset Avenue... Also... you must've overlooked the mammoth transformation of the Hindi Convent School, which hardly anyone knew about, into a CBSE affiliated English Medium Senior Secondary School under its own Principal!... which... I'd say... is no small task...
Coming to the other areas of the school's infrastructure... The Air Conditioned Auditorium (balcony included) is as good as that of any reputed school in Calcutta... Don't believe? See it for yourself!
Mr. pensilpensil... The point was never about judging Sr. Teresa and the "evils" happening under her auspices...
Face it!... You just couldn't tolerate getting thrown out... and... what better way to exact revenge than to start slandering your ex-boss who is already a controversial figure! And... why wouldn't she be controversial? The whites in South Africa imprisoned Mandela for 27 years...Branded him as a terrorist...
And that was not because he was wrong... that was because the Boers were just not ready for a change...
Chittaranjan is a small town with a large number of narrow minded "conventionally wise" people.. (not all though...).. and... We were just unable to digest the revolutionary changes Sr. Martis brought!
Q.E.D. out of our insecurities, unwilling to get out of our comfort zone ... and left with no options ... We started disgracing her...
It didn't affect her... She's doing well...In fact.. better, now, where she is!
Ultimately, it were we who made a fool out of ourselves...

Madam Banani left the school, frustrated with the post Sr. Teresa Administration and got appointed as the Principal of a reputed school in Asansol... not by showing off her saree... but by her 17 years of teaching experience and an M. Sc degree in Geography, which is a bloody difficult subject to get a bachelor's degree in... forget Masters!
Now.. The school is practically WITHOUT a Geography Teacher... and... believe me... even in reputed schools... you won't find more than 2 M.Sc Geography teachers in the Faculty! People don't usually pursue a Geography degree due to its level of difficulty... Ask any ISC/Arts student from any school anywhere and you'll find that out! And... We lost the one that we had...
Next up... Miss (later Mrs.) Chhanda Ganguly, THE BEST Physics Teacher, resignes... not during... but after Sr. Teresa leaves and Sr. Shwetha comes!
Two pillars gone... The school now appears to be stumbling... With no one to replace them...

Next up... let's talk about the library.. and I can say this without being biased (there's no reason for me to be as I'm not a present pupil, nor a teacher, nor a benefactor, nor a member of St. Joseph's Church, nor any one associated with the school anymore, so it may be assured that my intention is not to butter anyone, since my "buttering" will not affect anyone) that St. Joseph's has the best collection of fiction and non fiction in the belt. ... (and I say this with experience), renovated and enriched under Sr. Teresa Martis...

So... before we slander her... I think it's best to weigh her achievements against her shortcomings and then view things with impartiality!

This school is perhaps the worst school you might have seen in the world. If parents are thinking of admitting their wards in this school they must immediately change their decision otherwise they will have to suffer a lot.the teachers are not at all highly educated. They are only class 10 or 12 pass .They only know how to speak in English, that's all .and last but not the least the charges are also high
