Just went to a parents meeting for Alec’s school. It consisted an assembly of parents from 3 grades of 6 classes at over 40 students each, which totaled to be a guesstimate of some 700 parents showed up; as well as separate meetings after the assembly for the parents and their Form Masters with a couple of teachers for each individual classes. The assembly took about an hour, and the meeting took over 2 hours.
Basically, what it boils down to was one long and tedious period that showed how damn inconsiderate Hong Kongers are.
Just a couple of days ago, Tin and I have discussed how intrusive and annoying a phone call could sometimes be. Yet during such a long period of assembly and then during the meetings, which is ample time for everyone to realize the nuisance, there were phone calls galore the entire time. I am sure there was one person even played the selection of ring tones within the phone at one time for a few minutes. Just why the hell did these people even bother to show up is beyond me.
I was there trying to learn what the aims, goals, and measures the school have for educating my kid this year. These people, while the Principal of the school was saying how important it is for our kids to pay attention to their teachers, kept chatting amongst each other, laughing, and having their phone rings on loud! Let’s face it, forget the chatting and laughing bit, which phone does not have a silent mode with vibration alert these days.
Not knowing how to set the phone to silent mode? Read The Fine Manual!!!
Apparently though, there was someone there who knew how to keep farting silently all night!
Bunch of jerks!
WhaUSay?!
