ABOVYAN. - The director of Abovyan city middle school after
Kh. Virabyan, Taguhi Khachatryan, forces parents of the students to
clean up the school, informed Armenian News-NEWS.am the mother of
one of school student.
She requested not to publish her name.
"I have health issues and a small child and I cannot clean up the
school. When I first got the phone call from her [the director]
requesting to come and clean up the school, I did not show up. Now
she calls again asking, why I did not show up," said the mother.
Armenian News-NEWS.am requested explanation from the school director.
Taguhi Khachatryan claims information is incorrect.
"That is incorrect. Who said that? The janitors clean everything,
as we are doing renovation works. I only told the teachers that if
parents can come and help, they should do so," said Khachatryan.
She stressed that no parent has been forced to clean the school. The
director also noted that she asked the parents to clean the school
indirectly, through the teachers.
"Janitors cannot get the work done in time," Khachatryan added.
She said that parents of two students have already accepted the
request. The director also asked to give her the number of the parent
who called Armenian News-NEWS.am. However, after the request has been
denied, as the news agency has to protect its sources, Khachatryan
replied that she "does not need it at all."
The middle school after Kh. Virabyan has 340 students.
