Eleanor never expected that someone would have to buy her an electric car!
This kind of thing needs to be discussed in the group, and everyone needs to agree to continue the discussion together.
Are you crazy?!
Eleanor was speechless. She immediately sent a message in the group.
Homeroom teacher Eleanor: "Sorry, I was busy just now and just saw the message in the group! I solemnly declare here: It is strictly forbidden to give gifts to teachers in any form! This is absolutely not allowed!"
Fairness, integrity, and dedication to work are professional qualities that every teacher should have and must have! Making lesson plans, grading assignments, and teaching students are all part of my job, not to mention whether it is hard or not! Everyone's job is hard! I receive this salary just to bear this responsibility, that's all!
"Fairness and integrity are repeatedly emphasized by our school principal, and strict requirements are imposed! This is the principle and bottom line I adhere to as a teacher, and I will definitely abide by it. I also kindly request parents not to trample upon it!"
Eleanor clearly expressed his position, and most people understood it. They all made a series of thumbs-up gestures.
However, there is a small group of people who either do not understand or pretend not to understand. Not only do they 'not understand', but they also seize every opportunity to flatter.
Pablo's Mom: "Eleanor is really great, having such a responsible homeroom teacher in our class is truly our pride and luck!"
Joseph's mother: "We are really proud of Eleanor! The most outstanding people's teacher!"
Wilma's mother: "Moved, other teachers only arrive at school at 7:30, but Eleanor arrives at school at 6:30... Yet, even so, Eleanor remains so humble!"
Holding her phone, Eleanor made an awkward expression.
Eleanor: "I was going to school to have breakfast..."
She did not have the habit of having breakfast. She thought the breakfast outside was unhygienic and the school's breakfast was not nutritious.
The breakfast at the main school was still cheap.
Several Flattereric parents were embarrassed for a moment as they were publicly humiliated by the teacher.
I wonder how other parents viewed their jokes.
Pablo's mom chuckled and said, "Haha... indeed, last time when my kid took me there, we passed by the cafeteria and the school breakfast did smell delicious!"
Connor's Dad: "It was mainly about hygiene and nutrition!"
Joseph's mother: "Our Eleanor is really down-to-earth. Not many teachers are willing to get up so early and walk to school..."
Eleanor: "I was doing morning exercises. In short, let's not mention anything that is against the rules anymore. Parents, please set a good example for your children and be a role model for them!"
All the parents followed suit: "That's right", "Eleanor is right", "Keep up with Eleanor's pace!"
Eleanor sighed and put away her phone.
Those few bootlickers were particularly obvious, and as for the other parents, you can't say they didn't bootlick either, as they couldn't help but follow suit when the information was released.
Whenever she appeared, there would always be many parents in the group who wanted to chat with her for a few words, as if not exchanging a few words would be disrespectful to the teacher or the teacher would forget about their children.
So after Eleanor explained his position clearly, he did not send any more messages.
After Pablo and a few other parents on the committee had flattered him, they discovered that Eleanor had left.
I didn't accomplish this matter, and I always felt a little unwilling.
Pablo's Mom: "Eleanor is really humble, preferring to suffer herself rather than making the child suffer. Sigh..."
Connor's Dad: "Well, I suggest that we still buy the electric bike, but not as a gift for the teacher. After we buy it, the electric bike will be considered as our class's shared property and will be kept at the school... It will be convenient for various activities and sometimes parents may need to use the electric bike to go shopping. Having an electric bike will be helpful."
Blair's mom immediately chimed in, "Yes, yes! This is good!"
Pablo's Mom: "I think it's a great suggestion! During the times when the electric bike is not in use, it can also be convenient for Eleanor to commute to work."
Joseph's mother: "Yes, no matter which teacher, there are always times when they have urgent matters. It's troublesome to drive and find parking spaces, but electric scooters are very convenient."
Pablo's Mom: "Agreed, Pablo's Mom agrees!"
Blair's mom immediately followed.
Parents in the group: "...."
A "concerned parent" said sarcastically, "If we have shared class property, how can one electric bicycle be enough? Especially for activities like outings and team building, we always have a lot of things. I suggest buying a car."
P's parent: "What Gao Ji's mom said is right, otherwise buying a pickup truck would be the best for transporting goods."
R's parent: "The teacher has already explained it so clearly. I can't understand why these parents from the school community are still persistently doing this. Isn't this causing trouble for the teacher?"
Pablo's Mom felt quite unsettled when she saw these words.
A group of people who lay flat, not only did not fight for their own children, but also prevented others from fighting for theirs.
What's the point of adding more trouble? Even if the teacher is in the group, what else can she say?
Originally, Eleanor had been silent all along, which indicated that he had tacitly agreed.
It was Susie's Grandma who made the situation so ugly that Eleanor had to come out and say those words!
Actually, it had to be given back, as long as she was enthusiastic and sincere. What's wrong with going the extra mile to fight for a better education for her own child?
All of this can be blamed on Susie's Grandma. I have never seen such a narrow-minded person before. If she didn't want to spend money, that's fine, but she also had to make snide remarks, as if she was so clever.
