I swore to do anything for my students. I've been their advocate, confidant, trainer, and teacher.  I've been a mother to them. Isn't that just a shining example of selflessness? Aren't I doing so good, playing the concerned mentor to these poor children after those bastard parents abandoned them at the school? All of my old students come back and give praise on what a good job I've done. My colleagues think I'm a saint for all my work. Haven't I done so well? Just a few more, I think. A few more children to play parent to and it will make up for abandoning my own children.

If you can't fix your own failures, fix another's.

So, instead of speaking the truth to this willfully-deaf person, why say it where everyone can hear it? There's no honor in such underhanded tactics.

Do you not think this sort of thing should be told to the people who have mistakenly put their trust in her?

[athngabla.livejournal.com]

Where's the harm in keeping quiet? Even if it's for her own reasons, she's still teaching her students to the best of her ability, isn't she?

[crazyoldbat.livejournal.com]

Hmm, I wonder if she is.

[athngabla.livejournal.com]

Oh? Is that something out of your knowledge, for once?

[crazyoldbat.livejournal.com]

Well I am a part of her, you know.

So you all like to declare and remind us incessantly.

Say, what's your problem, anyway? Seems to me you're all bored as hell and looking for something to do.

[crazyoldbat.livejournal.com]

More tired of seeing this than bored, boy. And my problem as, you can guess, is with this woman.

[athngabla.livejournal.com]

So why not talk to her directly, then? Subterfuge is a coward's way.

[crazyoldbat.livejournal.com]

If I see her, I will. But I doubt she'll listen.

[athngabla.livejournal.com]

It's all about presentation, you know? Come off as a know it all like you've been doing and nobody'll want to listen to you.
