GRADE ONE GATE

This is what happened at the grade 1 gate of SJCS last Friday.
It was raining, and together with the parents and the other fetchers, we pleaded with the guard to let us in the gate.... Because this was the usual practice during rainy seasons....
We were concerned, not really for ourselves, although, we ourselves are not immune fron getting sick....but for the kids, who would have a hard time getting through that plethora of umbrellas....
But our pleas fell on deaf ears....
This I heard from 2 parents talking...."kulang pa yata tuition fee na binabayad natin, kaya tayo pinapahirapan ng ganito."... Answer by the other mother..."kulang pa ba, eh ilang round trip tickets to Hongkong na yun ah, baka business class pa!"
This us what happens pag pinahihirapan ang parents at mga bata, tapos bebentahan ng walang katapusang raffle tickets....at hihingan ng donations!
This is another one of those new schemes thought of by school authorities....
Disadvantages of this New Scheme:
1) Everyone would get wet during the rainy seaon.
(2) Hassle for parents, fetchers and kids.
(3) Added hard work for teachers and guards.
(4) Risk of losing a child, as you're not really certain that they are picked up by their parents or their fetchers.

Advantages:
I have yet to think of one!!!
