vandalism on the students' art works.
it hurts to see the damaged marks.
it hurts more to know that our kids do not learn to know.
how much blood and time and hardwork spent on those works,
they did not see.
they used cruel weapons:
ball-point pens
finger nails
a desk in my classroom of 39.
filled with motifs of boredom.
i put up a "creative corner"
as a hint for this vandalism artist.
he didn't get it.
perhaps he is not just bored,
but plain stupid.
fights,
stares,
vulgarities.
if only these energy could be diverted
to doing a good job in class decoration,
concentrating during lesson without a flip of their eyelid,
greeting people with a smile.
if only.
now, i'm going to bring my paint and brushes to touch-up the damaged painting.
sad.
