Every time I read this short tale I find a mistake. No wonder teachers failed both of us, my friend and I.


  
  


                                        RESENTFULNESS AND revenge
 


   If your teacher is very insecure do not play jokes on her.
Last year I knew one that had to deal with the naughtiest child you can imagine.  The student was little and ugly but very funny and used to put into practice any new English word and idiom that she learned in the INTERNET, but our teacher did not like that, mainly when she did it wrong making others being confused.
Once that our classmate was joking cute words she was scolded off.  As a result the clever child responded:
“The day we spoke better you won´t understand us.”
Then she was put under punishment.
“And you´ll lose your job pompous wench!” shouted a ghostly voice into the teacher´s ears making her even more timorous.
Then despite the fact that the child apologized to her and spent her last savings, even the money she did not have (because she was very poor) buying a big box of chocolates to share in the classroom, and in spite of the fact that she learned all the lessons by heart during the year, the unbearable child was not forgiven and a powerful witch, that was her teacher´s friend, made her fail before summer came.
    It was quite unfair. My mate got just one point, the lower mark any stupid child was marked by in that school ever. Although the child knew that she would not pass the test successfully and the mocking mean witch did not want her to pass either, she was said exactly these words before being apparently, politely urged to leave the exam classroom:
 “Don´t worry.  It has been excellent”
 Instead of:
“Don’t worry. You will do it better next time”  
This way my friend got the worse score in her life.
When she knew it she burst into tears and fell apart.

   This frightening little story is quite dreadful mainly because it has been real. 
I don´t know eventually, if  our former teacher, the miserable witch´s friend lost her job. Nobody knows either what happend to her or where she is now.  Up to now, nobody has again run across her since.
But after this appalling experience the little student, who was not surely made to success, and  having failed so many times in her short life, realized that nothing that she could do is worth it. Now she is actually fairly avoiding a dreadful temptation of committing suicide every day, and this sad story that should have never happened and took place here, does not help.  

   So, in my opinion, although students are not on the best behaviour many times, teachers are obliged to keep in control. Because everybody knows that children learn by observing adults and the way they act.
