Keatkeat came home and told us a story about his classmate which sparked the anger flame in Allan and I….

Keatkeat: “Mummy, today H.N. cried.”

Me: “What happened to him?”

Keatkeat: “He went to the toilet to pass motion. When he came back, everyone (classmates) said he is very smelly, but H.N. kept saying that he got wipe his backside properly already. Then Mr. L. asked H.N. to go to him. Then Mr. L….. aiya I don’t want to say already lah.”

Allan and I: “What happened?”

Keatkeat: “Very terrible lah. Don’t want to say. Very embarassing. Very horrible. Don’t want to say already lah.”

Me: “Did Mr. L. striped H.N.? Did he pull down H.N.’s pants?”

Keatkeat: “No lah!”

Allan and I: “Then?!?”

Keatkeat: “Mr. L. very horrible! He asked H.N. to go to him and Mr. L. bend down and SMELL H.N.’s backside! And he said, “You need to go to the General Office to change.” Then H.N. started to cry because everyone (classmates) kept saying, “Eeeee…. H.N. did not wipe properly…H.N. got shit on his pants… Eeee… H.N. is very dirty….” But I did NOT do that! ‘cos I think he is very embarassed already.”

Allan: “How can he do that infront of the class! How would he feel if the Principal bend down and smell HIS BACKSIDE infront of all the other teachers?! How can he be so insensitive! If he ever do that to you, tell me!”

Me: “No Keatkeat, now that you know Mr. L. will do that during such situation. If he calls you to go to him, you must say, “Ok! I know what you want to do. I will go General Office myself!” Don’t give him a chance to shame you.”

Keatkeat: “Aiyo! That will not happen lah, because I always wipe my backside very clean. He will never get the chance to embarrass me.”

Since the first day of Primary 3, Keatkeat has been complaining to us about his teacher Mr. L. being very fierce, very strict and very ‘scary’. Nothing good came out from Keatkeat’s mouth about Mr. L.

Now, after this incident, Allan and I are in the don’t-like-Mr.L.-fangroup too.

Should The Teacher Do That?
