Lousy irresponsible school

That is the image that my bro’s school portray to us. It is a private school. I can’t believe that I have spent 12 years there (kindergarten, primary, junior high school). Thanks G I moved to a better school when senior high school.

1. The school didn’t contact us when accident happened
My Mum received a phone call when the accident happened last Friday (my bro’s arm was injured during the physical exercise class). No, it was not from the school but my bro himself, with the help of his friends, called back home with his mobile phone. Where was his teacher huh?

2. The school didn’t have emergency transportation
Luckily the school is located near our house, within walking distance. My Mum went there immediately. The school side asked my Mum to bring my bro to the traditional Chinese doctor and see what was wrong with the bone. They even asked if there was any student whom drove a car. What the..? It’s emergency, can’t the school sent him to doctor or hospital immediately? Then, what does the school’s van for?

3. No visit whatsoever from the school
My bro stayed in the hospital for 3 days 2 night and no one from the school came, except his classmates and friends. Yes, I know it was weekend, but that’s not a reason for not visiting him in the hospital and saying a few words.

4. The tile of the school’s hall and the badminton-cum-basketball-field for PE class is made of very slippery ceramics.
Tell me, which idiot will put such a ceramics on an exercise field huh? How do you want the students to jump, run, etc on the slippery floor? Be careful itself is not enough. My bro’s case is not the first. As my high school friend told me that this kind of accident happened before to our classmate, a girl, luckily it was her left arm which injured instead of right. I can’t recall it, so perhaps it happened after I moved to other school.

Seeing such irresponsible action from the school, my Dad went to see the principle on Monday. The discussion didn’t go smooth until my Dad has to go through a rude way. It worked although at first they said that they gonna asked the students to donate some money for my bro. What the..? Of course we said no, what does this accident has to do with the other students? All we want is for the school to be responsible. This accident happened because of the school and not because other students whom hit my bro or so.

To cut it short, the school’s representative came here on Monday to see my bro and gave a few lousy reason of why they couldn’t pay a visit to the hospital. Save that, we didn’t buy their stupid reason. And, they came today with a few of my bro’s classmates and gave some compensation. Finally the chicken and irresponsible PE teacher came too. Hah!

P.S. My bro just received this news that one of the school’s staff had a sudden stroke, felt down at the school’s field, and passed away. What the..? He just came to our house this afternoon with the PE teacher and my bro’s classmates. And suddenly, he passed away? *pinch my arm* I still can’t believe this news. He has been working at the school ever since I studied there. Oh my.. May he rest in peace.
