Wednesday, 10 June 2009 23:52 Dear Fr HessI would like to quote here two instances where YOU have made a mark on me, and I vividly remember the episodes. One: I must be Standard IX (or probably X). I was the Editor of The Nobilian and The Annual (thanks to Fr H C Bradley). You and I were talking on the subject in the hallway, outside the staff room area. While we were talking, a senior student of St XI passed by, between the two of us. I remember you called him, explained to him it was ill mannered to pass between two people if they are talking. You made him come back, and go around us. |

Fr George Fernandes, SJ | Thursday, 14 May 2009 12:25 For the last few weeks De Nobili Schools have been making headlines for all the wrong reasons or so it was made to appear in the media. Besides the hooliganism by a section of parents and a few politically motivated groups, who went to the extent of locking up the entrance gates of some of our schools, the electronic and the print media cast a slur on themselves by poisoning the minds of the public with clearly maneuvered stories and in the process projected the schools as exploiters and wrong doers. Why not? Why should the schools have hiked the fees? It seems that we for long have been providing ‘cheap' education, leading towards mediocrity than excellence. Why then was this sudden change? It might give a wrong notion to the people, who would want to believe that we have limited ourselves to a privileged few, who can cope with the high cost of education. |
