I take the subject philosophy, and we have this assignment where a group of us are brought out of our classrooms for this discussion, and we are marked upon how well we speak and how much sense and precision we talk with. And they give us taboo topics and country issues. It's one group at a time, so when the teacher is out he lets us see this movie: Helen Keller.
So the thing is that I was needing the toilet, and I just excused myself from the room and went to the toilet.
Anything wrong with that? I don't think so. Seriously, the teacher is away and it won't be disrespectful,right?
I was wrong.
While I was walking back, the teacher was coincidendetally walking back. He called me to come over and so I smiled and waved at him, thinking that the lesson was over(btw I USED to like this teacher). He was like:
"Shawn, why didn't you ask for permission to go out of the class?"
I was astounded
"Huh?"
"You know what you did was wrong and disrespectful.Please don;t do that, you are sneaky out of the class."
"Oh(at this point I get it)! I'm so sorry sir, I didn't know.I'm sorry."
He was seriously, overreacting. I had excused myself and told the friends around me so if the teacher came he would know.
He called me to get in. How was I disrespectful?
WTF was that? I mean does your teacher do that? If it had happened to any other classroom in any other school in any other country, I very sure that wouldn't happen.
I attributed this to one reason: Elitism
See, I really hate the idea of elitism, cuz it screws everything up.
See, I'm in this supposedly elite school and in one of the better classes in my cohort. That is just plain segregation. That is almost like segregating based on colour or religion. Huh, pretty good a representation of my country yes? And you know my school is breeding future leaders????
I think I needa have a change of school, SOON<> or I'll go emo and commit suicide.
P.S I may have another reason why he was angry. Maybe because 3 of his other students were scolded, he just wanted ot vent his anger. I dunno.
P.S.S. One of my other friends it making a blog too(kind of a rip-off don't you think), about HIS life problems go check it out at: thetempleofanubis.blogspot.com
