Thursday 23rd July. 2009.
Nothing interesting happened before recess.
And so it was recess, we finished eating and Wen Xiang, Jun Hong, Sylvester and I went to sit at a bench behind the canteen.
We were quite amazed at the fact that the table is made up of planks of wood.
Time passed quickly. It was 11:52AM. We were supposed to report to class at 11:55AM.
And going back to our classes takes around 3 minutes.
And so we went past the canteen and met 2 teachers. Nothing special. Not until one of them opened her mouth and started talking.
Teacher A: What are you all doing here?
Me: Walking back to class.
Teacher A: Why are you guys not at class?
Me: Staggered recess.
Teacher A: What time did your recess start?
Sylvester: 11:20AM
Teacher A: Your recess is over. You guys are late for class!
Teacher B: Your recess ends at 11:55AM.
Sylvester: Exactly.
Me: Look at my watch, it's 11:53AM.
Teacher A: No, you guys are already late. Wait for me outside the general office.
My thoughts: Unreasonable teacher is unreasonable. She denied the existence of the time stated in my watch and substituted it with another time. Amazing.
So, we waited outside the general office and she came to look for us a few minutes later.
And so she told a school staff to let us fill up offence forms.
So we filled in the forms and waited for the next instruction.
A period went by, and we were asked to go back to class. And instructed to meet another teacher at the general office at 1:40PM.
Time: 1:40PM.
Went to look for the teacher and we told our side of the story. Jun Hong got sent back to class as he still had lessons.
Teacher C: Do you know how long do you need to walk back to class?
So we replied together,
Me, Sylvester: 3 minutes.
Wen Xiang: We could reach class within 2 minutes.
Teacher C: Ok, next time I want to see you walk back to class within 2 minutes.
My thoughts: Nice move, Flash.
And so we were let off with a warning, after the teacher preached for about 3 minutes with a strange orange glow behind him.
Nothing much happened after the incident.
Lesson learnt: You cannot be late for class, but you can be early for class. You cannot be dismissed early, but you can be dismissed late.
