Money Stolen
Yesterday, received a call from Yang Zhi. He sadly told me that his money was stolen. According to him, he left his bag in his classroom and went for his Int'l Chess Club. Upon his returned to his class, he found his wallet was not in his bag but was under the last desk in the classroom. $7.00 gone! His classroom was occupied by another class having remedial lesson. so he asked the teacher who was in the classroom for help. To his surprised, the teacher replied was cold" because I was here so you conveniently asked me to check for you isn't and why dun you checked the surrounding" According to YZ was that he requested the teacher to check those students in the class because it could be one of them. To me, I thought this is the first approached the kid will do in school, that is to ask the teacher for help! I felt that younger teachers are not able to handle situation wisely which compared to more senior teachers. This also tell us that younger teachers only come to school to teach the subjects but forgetting about morale education. Instantly, i feel that this is one area that current education is lacking of. So since the teacher cannot help him, so he checked with me whether I can go to his school. Mother is the main pillar of a child. Usually they will call the mother for help, advise whenever things happen. And of course, mother usually also will attend to it as quickly as possible. While I were driving to Yew Tee Pr School, the memory of my old friend who has passed away 5 ot 6 years ago leaving behind two young children keep flowing to my mind. Who can they turn to? Children without mother, who will be the next figure for them to turn to? Well, life is unpredictable, so let's treasure whatever you have and also people around you.
