I work as an assistant teacher in a highly reputed govt. high school in Kolkata. The admission system of the school is very tough so only meritorious students can take admission.
I teach English and Mathematics in class VIII . All students are very attentive and paid due regards to me. One day while teaching Mathematics, I found a student suddenly came forward to my table and pretended to show a copy book with a solved problem and without addressing me he went back to his sit.
At the end of the class while I was returning to teacher’s room I found that my kurta was spatted with ink . Immediately I was confirmed that the boy who came to me had sprayed ink from his fountain pen.
At that time ball pen was not available and students used fountain pens. After returning from class I went straight to the Head Master and explained the whole incidence.
I appealed in writing that this student should be punished so that he will never repeat the same practice to other teachers. I also called the boy in my room and asked clarification The boy in a straight way denied the incidence.
The boy was a good student and had done a good result which would allow him to study science which had high prospect at that time.
But Head Master keeping my complain in mind did not allow him to take science stream.Thus the career of that student was doomed.
