"So a child in my class brought food to school today but didn’t touch it.
I asked why, and he said their house help hasn’t returned from Christmas break and the food his mummy cooked is not sweet.
Now, in my school, if a child doesn’t eat and you don’t report it or inform the parent through the communication book, you’ll be p£nalized. The funny part? This particular parent never opens the communication book.
I still wrote it there and, when she came to pick him up, I politely stepped aside with her and said, “Good afternoon ma’am, your child didn’t eat his food today. I don’t know why.” I pretended like he hadn’t told me anything.
Only for her to turn to the boy and ask,
Why didn’t you eat your food?. And this boy confidently replied, “It’s not sweet now. Shebi it’s only aunty Mercy that knows how to cook very well.
She just smiled and said, let's go to the car 😭😭😭"
