This post is directly in connection to Max's own.
Hear that:
We had this same parent, teacher consultation thing and I took my fast self and showed the parent how much money she had spent on the child since Form One.

There was a look of growing terror on the mother's face but I kep adding and then when I did the first term and showed her that she had spent almost three thousand dollars and then the second and third terms...she was like 'TOUT LAJAN SA-LA?! N'a tiwe-ou lekol'

It was incredulous...she had never realsied that she wass spending so much money on a child who brought home, for his higheset average that year 11 percent.

The sad news is, that I have not seen this child at school. It has been three weeks and all he has are these little 'a's' by his name.

I think I may have contributed to his educational demise. His mother had promised to take him from school and have him work after I showed her how her money was being spent...

What if I sent a child to work on the banana field when he would have perhaps picked up in form three...

Ah dear reader, I don't know but I will be here blogging tomorrow for as long as tomorrows last!
