School
As usual, am busy at school. Mountains of papers to mark. And a class that gets into the news every week. Just when I have finished telling everyone about the wonderful class that bought me a cake, some of them get into trouble again. And especially after the talk of how's one person's actions can affect the rest of the class name. This time for what? Burning paper in class. When asked why, "Oh the lighter was there! so we decided to play with it." And worse the two boys only thought it was a mistake because they were caught - if they were not, then it was a trivial matter. They couldn't understand why they were being caught for a simple matter. It doesn't matter that nothing dangerous happened but that it could have. Then after the the dangerous thing has happened you cannot go back and say "Oh I should not have done it". And now I wonder "What is a lighter doing in class?"
A parent called to lament that her son was not talking to her properly. He has been such an obedient boy but now he only answered in monosyllables. I told her it was a teenage fad and that it will pass it soon. But you know what, I cannot wait for some of the boys in my class to go through NS. That is when they will learn to be more mature. Some walk around with a swagger thinking they are so cool. Please! It really is pathetic.
