favoritism

claire told me about how her sch teacher showed favoritism....

while returning the math papers to the stdts, the teacher remarked to her pet stdt who's in drama and cute looking,"28/40, hv to work harder, ling."

next came jan with 34/40, the teacher commented,"horrible, jan. u better buck up!" the poor, timid and petite-sized girl was all confused about receiving such treatment.

to claire, she merely said with no feeling,"39/40, ok, claire!" not a word of encouragement. or did she already knw that claire is capable of such result? AH Q spirit here, haha. humoring oneself is a way to release stress, i always tell myself.

the girls have been talking about her showing favour ie. biased. it does piss the stdts off, ain't it?

well, i told claire,'well, she adores girls who are very expressive and talented in speech. u just need to work well and do well in her 2 subjects, and shut her up!'

hah, did i sound too aggressive?

well, in fact, i shared with claire that this is just life. u simply can't win everybody's liking for you. some like u while some are neutral twds u. as long as they dun hate u and do nasty things to u, u r on safe ground.

that's why, in life, we need to learn how not to be distracted by such 'irritants' or 'pollutants' who might disturb our minds. afterall, humans are imperfect!

claire will learn more about human behaviours.....but i certainly understand why she loves her previous form teacher so much, coz' she's so dedicated and true to her teaching passion, and on top of it all, never shows favouritism!
