良师益友难寻

Today was a very bad day for one of my classes... some students were in caught in the act for doing something not pleasant in school. As a result, the whole class was asked to write statements coz although they knew the incident, they never report to the school. Then instead of realizing that the act itself was no good, some of the students began to accuse of others of sabo-ing them by reporting it to the authorities. An underlying current of dissent and distrust was built up.

Just want to add on to my 2 cents worth regarding this issue:

If there is REALLY this someone who "sabo-ed" the wrong-doers, I really want to applaud him/her for his/her courage to speak up, for reasons below:
(1) He or she doesn't stand to gain at all in the incident! Teachers are not going to praise him/her for being the teachers pet. In fact, he/she knows that he/she would risk incurring the wrath of others, yet he/she chose to do it. I applaud his/her courage to stand for what is right.
(2) He/she knows the severity of the problem. The incident was really bad. He/she felt that the best way to help his/her friend might be only be through the proper channel of authorities. True friends are those who go all out to help his/her friends, even when sometimes the decisions might be unpopular. 苦口良药。I applaud his/her love for his/her friends.

However, I personally believe no one in the class saboed them, and that it's juz plain silliness that students choose to do the wrong act, especially in school. The act itself is already silly enuff.. in school...aiyoh...how big can the school be? Any other students, any school workers, any teachers, any visitors can easily notify things that are rather unusual....

Hopefully this incident will come to a conclusion. Grow up lar, kids! I'm sure all of them will become more mature people in time to come.
