Yesterday was the first day of school for pre-school and primary 1 and 2 students, i can imagine the chaos as the parents are not allowed to go into the school and probably 1 teacher need to take care of more than 30 students in their class.
A primary school teacher took social media to share her horrifying experience on the first day of school. A schoolboy had no idea teacher calling him, and the teacher thought he went missing.
The post read:
It’s an intimidating day but luckily without a mishap.
My dear parents, can you please let your children know what is their name?
I have been calling his name for more than 30 times but still no one was responding, the school bus driver and teachers nearly broke-down, and we were worried that the kid went up to another school bus. Following that, we searched for the kid in all the school buses.
End up, we only realised the kid was actually sitting in the hall, he don’t even knew the name we were calling over and over again was HIM.
Then i was asking name of the students without the name tag. I couldn’t believed they were replying:
” My name is Ah Hock”
” I’m Ah Boy”
” My name is Ah B”
” I’m Mei Mei”
Except for rolling my eyes, i don’t have other thoughts.
