"Think Fast!!"Bongkor (real name) threw a row of stapler bullets to his friend, Bud'ingar (real name too). While others were greeting their teacher, these two midgets were sneakily playing 'catching stuffs' at the back. Only this time, one of them thought too fast that he caught it with his mouth. Unfortunately, it went straight to his throat and he stupidly chose to swallow it.
When Bud'ingar realised he just committed a possible chargeable crime, he did what all kids will do, panicking. He was too panic that he could not think of anything else but crying. Mr. Cool (again, real name) noticed one of his kids was crying, so as a concern teacher, he asked why.
Before Bud'ingar got the chance to open his mouth, all his kaypoh classmates already raced to the front, of course, to give their blow-by-blow account on what had happened. Meanwhile, Bongkor gulped almost half of the water in his drinking bottle to wash the clogging thing up his throat.
Mr. Cool was shocked to learn what just happened in the first two minutes of his period. For a second maybe, I think he wouldn't mind changing his name to Mr. Angry. Nonetheless, being Mr. Cool and also a trained teacher, he knew what he had to do. Off he went to the office, dragging the two monkey heads with him.
Long story short, parents were contacted, transportation to hospital was arranged and appropriate reports to a few departments were done. There gone his two periods with that class for that week, wasted just like that.
The next day, Mr. Cool was informed by the only nice guy in the management that the big boss needed to see him ASAP. Mr. Cool was not so cool about it. Well, who would blame him for feeling that way, nobody likes to be called to Mr. Bald's room. He's one very unpredictable guy.
Never mind about the kids' silly doing, there were just being kids. As long as they are not shooting each other with real guns or slashing each other with real samurais, they are free to learn their own mistakes. It's just a part of growing up, don't you agree? I bet every grown up has been there too. Not swallowing stapler bullet maybe, but you know what I mean.
What irks me is the parents attitude. Maybe they'll say hey, you are not a parent, whatdoyaknow? Yes, correct, Mr. All Right. I'm not a parent myself (yet), but it's not that hard to tell how it works. I have parents too, so there, I know how it works. All parents don't like their children to experience any sort of pain, it's understandable.
However, if something bad happen to your kid, why can't you calm down first before you start abusing and blaming anything near you? If your kid get hurt at school, it doesn't necessarily mean that the whole thing is the teacher's fault, you know. We teachers have a lot of important and worthy things to do than hurting your children. Go check it with Mrs.Tigress, she knows what kind of work loads she dumps to us every day. If one day your kid walks home from shop, jumped over the drain in front of your house, lost his balance and fall into the stinky drain, what would you blame? The drain or the earth? I bet you would prefer to blame his PE teacher for not teaching him well about balance! But never your kid. Your kid is always right, right Mr. and Mrs All Right?
Accident happens, it could happen to anyone, including your children. Your children get hurt at home too, have you ever blame yourself for that?
In Mr. Cool's case, he just stepped into the classroom, haven't even put his books down when Bongkor decided to see if stapler bullets were up to his taste buds. Mr. Cool didn't encourage them, they did it willingly by themselves. So, why not try to thank him for his quick act that rescued Bongkor's sorry digestion system instead of slapping him with the hospital bills? Were Mr. Cool an ignorant person like me, Bongkor will never guess what fate will he face.
Parents sometimes could be tougher to deal with than their growing up kids. When accidents happen at school, teachers are to be blamed. No questions asked, it must be the teachers' fault. But when their children do well, they'll take all the credits, saying it's all their hard work, not forgetting the magical wonders of money they invested in tuition centre. Cet pooodah! We bersengkang mata marking and correcting their exercise books, all we get is never ending blames.
Were I mean, I would just tell the crazy parents to home-school their children. They claimed they are this big, that big, this rich, that rich, but why send their children to a public school? Man, I can't wait to go back to my hometown, where parents are not rich and big, just like me. It's never a secret that I am a country girl and I guess I only suit with country people's attitude. I'm now officially too tired with these arrogant town people.
Oh well, at least I'm not working in a field full of corrupt dogs. I should shut my mouth now and be thankful of having the noblest job in the world. Can't imagine what would come to me if I have to witness the disgusting act of handing money under table everyday, like some people.
Still, unreasonable parents are annoying me. Too vicious, I would say.
