Theo Wassenaar Primary School is BAD NEWS!!!

Our kids/learners are under a great deal of stress because of the selfish decisions taken by the head Theo Wassenaar Primary school. They raise funds every year, which is not an issue. The issue is that learners who do not donate R300 or more for Glow-Run will not receive a hamburger, nor will they be permitted to wear civvies on Fridays.

What about parents who cannot afford or even owe a lot of money for school fees? They are not treated with consideration by the head of the school, Mrs. Tagari. Some parents are wondering what to feed their children for lunch, so how are they going to be able to donate R300?

My son has been under a lot of stress lately because I am unable to pay the R300 donation for Glow Run. I keep my financial troubles from my son, but I now had to tell him about them, as I had to explain to him why am I not paying for him. He asked me not to attend to school on Friday, August 30, 2024, because he wasn't permitted to wear his civies because he didn't participate in the Glow Run, and he wasn't given the hamburger because that was reserved for students who had paid. AGAIN! Today it has been announced that only students who have paid R300 or more for the Glow Run will be allowed to wear Civies (home clothes) on Friday, 06, 2024. WHAT IS CALLED?!

THIS IS CHILD EMOTIONAL ABUSE!!! Mrs. Tagari NEVER considers our children. She even went so far as to shut the school's gates, forcing parents to drop off their children outside the school premises. Did she ever consider the security of our kids? It is very inconvenient for parents to leave their young children outside the school gate as young as they are plus they are carrying Chromebooks. I had to battle for the right to drop them off inside the school grounds. She even made up the claim that there aren't enough cars at the Booysens police station to patrol the school vicinity and keep students safe. I called the Booysens police station and was informed that they had never received a call from Mrs. Tagari. She agreed to let our children through the school gates when I informed her of this.

Since Mrs Tagari became the head of Theo Wassenaar Primary School, there has been a lot unhappiness going on in this school, I can even write a book. She has no respect for anyone.
