I experienced, realised and found out a total of 20 items while working in my school bookshop.
#1
Perhaps only 4 out of 10 people are willing to accept a $3/hr pay job.
#2
The attitude of some students SUCK BIG TIME.
#3
A student scolded me idiot in chinese, which is
白痴! :'(
#4
A few Secondary One students called me Uncle... :(
#5
"School Of Choice" is an example of a "black market". Paid coffee for $5, Yearbook for $10, school planner for $3 and an undesirable Funfair for $50 (all compulsory for your info, aka 'forced'). Is there a need for a NEIGHBORHOOD school to go to such extent?!
#6
Some teachers love playing politics, they can't be offended.
#7
Some teachers borrowed money from the bookshop and never return it back. One of them owned up to a hundred dollars!
#8
Can you believe a financially-assisted person whose parents owned a seven seater (Multi-Purpose-Vehicle)? What a ridiculous reality!
#9
A parent once asked me, "Does this school give free shoe?"
#10
It's my first time savoring every spoonful of food in the canteen during curriculum time, and wearing home clothing.
#11
Heard stories about the darker side of the school and its office...
#12
A particular D&T teacher lost his/her whole class D&T textbooks, worse thing is he/she never holds any responsibility to it!
#13
I hate taking orders, it's such a fussing and time-wasting task.
#14
Quite a number of students didn't support (they rather buy their textbooks from external outlets) the bookshop.
#15
Increasing new teachers vs. decreasing experienced teachers.
#16
The whole family turned up when only ONE person buying textbooks.
#17
The staff room was extended in order to accumulate an increasing number of teachers.
#18
I sat on the Vice-Principal chair. And I acted like one! XP
#19
"School Of Choice" is now the Centre Of Excellence for Design
and Technology. *LOL*
#20
Why do I love "School Of Choice"? Because the environment is windy! Other than my friends, that seems to be the only reason.
