It is really disheartening when you enter your class to teach, you notice that a few of the students are missing; and it makes it even more worse when you notice that these students are the same students who have missing their lessons before this. Kind of makes you wonder why these students even come to school in the first place? Not only do they miss one particular subject, in fact they have made the ability of being absent from class an acquired art.
What is even more disheartening is (things can get worse actually!) these students then saunter into class half way through the lesson that is forty minutes after. You would think that with the remaining forty minutes they have left, they would pay full attention to what is being taught in class and concentrate on completing the tasks at hand, but no! They just take their seats and start talking to each other (probably picking up where they left off before entering the class!) oblivious to the fact that the teacher is teaching his heart out and the rest of their classmates are busy (not really!) doing their work (not really again!!!)
And to make matters even worse (here comes the piece de resistance!) is that these students had actually been smoking before entering the class. I know this for a fact because these students didn't make any effort to conceal the cigarette smell since they come into class all calm and collected and smiling away like cats that had eaten the canaries! And when the teacher makes a mention of their secret endeavour they didn't even try to deny but in fact laugh it off (heads nodding in agreement!)
It is truly a sad moment for these students parents if they were to find out that their sons have been doing these things in school. But, come to think of it, since this thing has been going on for some time, it is highly unlikely that the parents are unaware about it! I shall not be judgemental about the parents views and just leave this discussion as is!
