Future teachers???
Last Tuesday I felt indignant with some of my classmates.
I’m taking sociolinguistics at 2nd year and that day we were supposed to present a research project about “Borrowings” in our language i.e. loan English words that have been incorporated in our mother tongue. The thing is that when the teacher asked about the project, one of my classmates who were in my group asked me the folder with the work and at that exactly moment I had a strange feeling that something bad was happening.
I told her I had left it on her desk the day before but she said she found nothing over there. I sent a text message to the other girl who was in my group but she didn’t have it either.
I wanted to believe they were playing a joke on me, but no. I asked our preceptor Gabriel if someone had left something at their office, but there was nothing there. I asked him because if you found something it’s not yours, you’re supposed to give it back to the person who owns or at least to give it to one of our preceptors. Well, I also asked each one of my classmates if they had seen a folder on my desk the day before but no one had seen anything. Then I had to go toward my teacher to explain the situation and she was as surprised as I was.
To be honest, the first thing that came to my mind was that I had lost the folder with the project (as I tend to be a little bit absent-minded sometimes), but I was pretty sure of what I did with it besides, it can’t disappear something from your desk (especially when there was another class following this one). Someone had to see it. Someone found or stole my work. And I know it’s wrong to judge beforehand, but as I said before, if you found something it’s not yours, you give it back to its owner. This is what it is taught at school and home, isn’t it?. And this kind of attitude makes me wonder what kind of teachers are going to be in charge of our children in the future. But don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying that everybody behave in the same way, I’m just making reference to those ones who feel so desperate that try to ruin their own partners just to cover their asses.
I tried to look for all the justifications for this, and to calm down myself as I am quite angry about it, but I couldn’t find any one. I just know that I hope this person (or these people) try to realize that they are going to be teacher, and what kind of people would like to be, the kind of people who do their work with effort and responsibility despite of the little time they may have to do it, or those ones who will try to do whatever is possible to get what they want no matter if they ruin other people. C’mon guys, you’re gonna be future teachers, don’t you?. And please, do me a favour, just think about it. At least THINK of it.
