A terrible mistake

Hi, everyone!

Plum, I thank you for your comment about dichotomy. I just found that it is one of the effective methods to attract readers, but as you said, I don’t have enough time to write my essay. I will concentrate my mind on my work.

On my work, I made a terrible mistake today. I usually use some PC to take reservations for meeting rooms on the phone. While answering a call, I have to type a customer’s name and address at once. So, I have no time to make a note of that information. This morning, after finished the call, I had more several calls. I backed to the previous screen, when my data suddenly disappeared for some reason. I couldn’t recall it at all… What a fearful experience! After a while, I somehow remembered it, and I realized that I have depended completely on PC. It was a good lesson for me.

So, see you tomorrow. Good night.

Dear Cherry and friends,

Hello.
Yesterday evening, I met a friend of mine and heard about her daughter's elementary school. The school's principal is incompetent.

One teacher at the school hit a student this summer. Two teachers who witnessed the incident didn't report it to the principal. But soon another incident happened. The teacher lost control, snarled at students, and behaved violently. As soon as parents knew it, they asked for explanation. The school held a meeting reluctantly. Parents strongly demanded to do it. Although parents wanted the principal to explain what happened, and why it happened, he didn't give them clear explanation. The school decided to have the teacher take temporary leave. However, several month later, the teacher came back without explanation.

Complicated problems revealed through this series of incidents. Of course, the violent teacher should not be in education for the first place. Because of his bad behavior, the principal exposed his own incapacity to handle such situations. Moreover, he and his colleagues explains that they were only following a decision made by the city's educational board when they were asked about the bad teacher's sudden comeback. There is apathy in parents' mind, too. One parent asked to my friend, “why are you so serious about it when your daughter is not a victim?”

Children are seeing how each adult behaves.

One correction:

not
"he and his colleagues explains that"

but
"he and his colleagues explained that"
