It's strange that a parent could email me during the holidays to ask me what homework there was for the child. The child was absent on the last day of school but a few days before that, over the Vesak Day holidays, she was supposedly "sick" for 5 days. Dad sounded dodgy when I called to enquire about her absence. Yet if she was that sick, why wasn't there an MC when she came back? If you are concerned about her schoolwork, why wait until 1 week after the holidays started then you email me to ask? Did it just SUDDENLY occur to you that you child's still schooling and there MIGHT be homework during the holidays?
Here's what happened on I called on Tuesday since Monday was Vesak Day and on Friday she was already absent.
Me: Y***** hasn't been to school for a few days, is she ok? What happened to her?
Dad: errr...
Me: Is she very sick?
Dad: Yes.
Me: Did she go see a doctor?
Dad: err... yes.
Me: Ok, let her rest well.
Dad: Ok, thank you.
There are parents who think that just because the mid-year exams were over, their children are free from school totally. Worst still, must stay at home to look after younger sibling?!?!
Sometimes, it's the parents who ruin their children.
It really irritates me. Nope, don't judge me for judging. At times, facts are just facts and choices are just plain straightforward, yet they choose to pick this path.
