Yesterday W forgot to bring his tuition file home from school. He decided not to go tuition the next day for fear of being scolded and beaten by his tuition teacher. After much coaxing, we decided to go to school early in the morning to retrieve his file before he attend his tuition class.
So, W had to wake up early in the morning and went to school together with his brother. When we reached the school gate, W was reluctant to go into his classroom to retrieve his file. I even asked the teacher's permission for him to go into the school in his pyjamas! With much coaxing and scolding, he finally went into the school, up the stairs and to his classroom.
As he went into the school, I need to wait by the school gate. Parents are not allowed to cross a certain yellow line at the school compound for security reason. While I waited for him and started to daydream, a school girl started to walk towards me and bow to me! After that she was followed by those students who just arrived at school. I realized that they thought I am one of their school teacher and trying to bow to greet good morning to me. Hahahaha, do I look like a school teacher? In this big belly? I quickly stood to a side before more students bow at me and the real teacher look at me funnily.
And to think that after the embarrassing moment, W came to me and claimed that he did not manage to retrieve his file. He was afraid to go into the class because there a lot of morning session students in the class. He scared they will beat him because they look fierce!
I could not believe he rather took the chance to be scolded and beaten by his tuition teacher then retrieving his file in front of strangers....
