Delhi Public School North Kolkata — Improper behaviour of Principal

I am a former teacher in Delhi Public School, North Kolkata. I would not like to disclose my name but would like to throw some lights on the school’s inner environment, so that it gives a clear picture to the teachers who have thought of applying and would at the same time would like to inform the DPS society. I even joined the school with lots of dream but was shattered soon after few months. I started to realise that this is definitely not a place, at least not for me to survive. I have worked as a teacher with various schools before but I am compelled to say that working with DPS (North Kolkata) was worst. A school should have a wonderful principal to work with, who would be there to co-operate, to motivate and to boost our skills. However, this was the first principal I have worked is just the opposite. Yes, Mrs Tinku Shrivastava, she is a mental patient I would assume. Her behaviour with the teachers is extremely rude, which at times makes the teachers to cry. She is always after the teachers and threats them each and every time on getting them fired. This is absolutely not expected out of a principal. A principal should be able to understand the problem of his/her staffs and accordingly stand beside them. Here, she has always been against those teachers who dedicate their entire time sincerely for the school. She un-necessarily harasses the teachers in many ways and find out ways to treat them rudely. Well, I must not say it’s rude but her behaviour is totally insane. It is very surprising why DPS Society or the trustees are not taking any steps against her, and that is the reason she is doing whatever she likes with the teachers and this is becoming worst. She never praises the teachers and keep herself extremely busy in finding out faults rather than motivating. While in meetings, she uses abusive languages and in fact talks about casts. She herself being a Bengali, talks nonsense about Bengalis. She, I hope is a learned person and such human beings generally set examples so that others can learn from them. I was compelled to leave the school because of her. None of the teachers are happy there and are tolerating her only because jobs are not easily available. She says whatever she likes and does not care about anyone. There is nothing to learn from such a person. She is absolute waste.
