STORY 1 - OF STUDENTS & TEACHERS

A few years ago Form 5 students had to pay about RM 100 for their SPM examination. Teachers had to get their students to pay up by February. Some students were prompt, while the others dragged their feet. Perhaps, they could not pay such a huge sum given only a month’s notice. Or perhaps they were just indifferent. Whatever the reasons were, those teachers responsible for the collection were under pressure to fulfill their uphill task. If anyone of the students could not pay on time, his teacher would be in trouble.
I know of one teacher who was kind enough to pay for a student. He was poor. He just could not pay. So, my colleague took out her own money to pay for him. At the same time, the student was asked to apply for financial aid. He did. He recevied it. But he kept it for himself. He spent it. He chose not to pay back the teacher who helped him. He ignored her.
What do you have to say about that student/ that teacher? Please comment.
See you 'at the next story'. Have a good day.
Your teacher, Mr. Woon.
