The Mom

Teacher Eugene (a co-teacher of my mom) had just finished her class when a parent approached her. The parent was about to bring out a task sheet wherein they encircled the word the best complete the sentence. But before she even took the whole thing out, Teacher Eugene said “Oh I made a mistake.”

The mom said “Yes I know, and you see, my child know this very well and me and my husband just can’t let our child see this.”

Then the parent brought out an activity they made wherein her child was right and a Xerox copy of the dictionary wherein the word was stated.

“Our child even looked at the dictionary”

Teacher Eugene apologized once again admitting her mistake.

“Don’t worry I’ll just take note of that”

“Yes please. We just can’t let our son see this because we know teachers don’t make mistakes.”

Teacher Eugene just accepted the criticism.

Won’t you be frustrated with the parent who did this? As if Teacher Eugene was not HUMAN. And that particular mother was FEELING as if she can’t believe that her child commits a mistake. What if there will come a time when this child really fail, then the mother will defend her child, making the child dependent and spoiled.

That’s one thing I hate about rich people who thinks they are superior.
They think that no one in their whole clan would make a mistake or no one poor belongs to them. They don’t really know how to accept the truth, the reality that life is not just the riches and glory they get.

Life is combined with mistakes, flaws and disadvantages.
Good Luck to their child. Hope he does not follow their footsteps.
