I was woken up by a nightmare 4: 24 a.m. June 24th
A past student had a problem which I thought should be shared in class
I searched my books, ran enough copies for comprehension for discussion
my wife's advice was sought
It was a lesson well planned
But when the sheets were handed
And the `please read the article and underline ..' was made
NOBODY heeded
A group at the back was discussing tonight's graduation dinner
my favourite student was in it
Others were just not listening
doing their own things
After several unheeded calls
a good scolding
an explanation of how the lesson was carefully planned
and a begging to behave
I stormed
Still
a student was working on his Chinese textbook, reading , writing
Infuriated
I grabbed hold of it and flung it out of the room
'Why did you do this?
Why dont you study?
Why do you do this to me?'
I was beyond myself
and pushed the teacher's desk forward
till rows of students' desks were pushed back
One student was aiming a camera at me, smiling
I grabbed it, opened it, pulled a spring out
and found no film inside
I was woken by my madness
a task has to be in black and white
and classroom rules should be three
dont disturb
listen and learn
do classwork and homework
punishment three
make up
say and write down you are sorry
let the school, parents and society know
Monitor task three
shout before I come in
SILENCE
BOOKS on DESKS
STAND UP
and Row Monitors
Collect Homework or Handbooks
put notice to parents on handbook
specific order is easy to follow
specific order is what they will only follow
specific order is why you are looked up to
specific order is the best of semins
the lionesses are looking forward to
a king to inseminate
so wipe out what is left behind
banish the former's leftover
bash the baby monkeys' brains
no reason their A.maths Bio, Chem, Chinese & Physics Lo Fu Tze, Leung Wing Kei or Whatever conversation are still there
They are not learning knowledge
they are learning survival
to look up to the strongest
Once you are up there
You are their king in the jungle
It's either a they-eat-you or you-eat-them no middle line
Civilization is a mass subconscious jerk off
Wishing what has never been, and never will be
dont fool yourself into believing in it
that all humans are worthy of respect
that some students are teachable, self initiated & should be respected
that you should be the architect of their souls
the soul just isn't there
just be a game warden playing fair
crack your whip hard at their tender flesh
do it to them or get slashed
