Swiveling on my chair, 10AM in the morning, waiting for my student to complete his differentiation of trigonometric functions, I chance upon a bundle of notices pinned up on the (rightful) teachers' noticeboard. The documents detail various medical conditions that particular students have and fuck me dead, I thought I had it bad (at one point I had some dermatitis condition on my face. Even though it has recovered to a degree, my face now looks like... my face). There are really some poor kids out there:
- Student A: Allergic to peanut butter
- Student B: Allergic to mosquitoes
- Student C: Allergic to bee-stings
- Student D: Leukemia
- Student E: Severe eczema
- Student F: Tourette syndrome
- Student G: Allergic to sunlight
That last one must really suck.
Someone once told me: "You can always have it worse." It was the last thing I wanted to hear at the time.
Someone out there is saying: "Told you so."
FYI, I tutor kids at a primary school.
