As mentioned yesterday, we will be having a test today. Are you all ready?
New Student - But ma’am! I was not informed about
it.
Teacher - Oh! I forgot to introduce him. So this is
_________, our new student.
New Student - But ma’am what about the test?
Teacher - Hmm…..I was supposed to take it
today……You can do it later…..Has everyone studied for it?
Naughty Student (1) - No ma’am.
Naughty Student (2) - ma’am I have studied but I
think you should take it tomorrow because of the new student. Naughty Student (3) - I also feel the same, ma’am.
(Whispers to Naughty Student (2) - I love to lie!)
Naughty Student (2) whispers back - me too!
Teacher - Well then, let’s take it tomorrow.
Good Student (1) - Ma’am, what about me? I studied
so hard for it.
Good Student (2) - I don’t want to waste all the
practice I had done!
Teacher - Hmm…But what can I do? Majority of the
class wants to have it tomorrow.
Class monitor goes to ma’am.
Class Monitor - ma’am, won’t it get you into trouble?
The principal told you that this test is important right?
Teacher - For me, Children and their education is
more important. Naughty Children laugh heartily looking at the faces of the good children.
Teacher claps twice to silence the class.
The principal storms in the classroom.
Principal - Ms. __________, is the test going well?
Teacher - I’m sorry ma’am, but the children are not
ready yet. I will take their test tomorrow.
Principal - What?! ________, you are not as I
expected. If you don’t take the test now, you can’t come to work tomorrow onwards.
Teacher - I’m sorry ma’am, but if the children are not
ready, I won’t take their test.
The bell rings.
Principal - You are not allowed to come to school
tomorrow onwards! Teacher leaves the classroom sadly.
Class Monitor - See what you have done you three!
You made the teacher lose her job because of your selfishness! You should be ashamed of yourself! Now go and try to explain to the principal about the situation and apologise for lying. It is not the teacher’s responsibility that you didn’t study!
The naughty students rushed to the principal’s room.
Naughty Student (1) - We are so sorry ma’am, but
we lied to the teacher because we hadn’t studied.
Naughty Student (2) - We will not do such a thing
again.
Principal - Hmm….As you have realised your
mistake, go and call the whole class and your teacher.
Everybody has arrived.
Teacher - What happened?
Principal - These three students lied to you because
they hadn’t studied. They have come to apologise. And also, you're not losing your job.
Teacher hugs the children and says - Thank you for
telling the truth! Now you must have learnt the importance of always telling the truth to your teachers.
The whole class - Yes ma’am!
Everyone stands in a file.
