Kamau* could not fathom his parents' craziness. How could they not even listen to hi s side of story? Where the hell was the overrated fairness and right of reply principles and champions?
The skinny madam literally had a bad blood. Probably she was a real ogre she loved giving stories about; blood thirst and always contemptuous. Another possibility; she must have had an abusive childhood, a cannibal for a husband or had a battalion of addicts for children. How could one be so cruel? Worse still, the parents gave her the back-up she needed to make pupils' life an oven.
Madam Koru* had a long porcupine face,protruding eyes which had bushy brows. Her silken pony tailed hair was the most astonishing trait in her appearance, like spotting a virgin serving in a brothel as a guide. Her height and depth maybe were the worst combination; super short and bony. This made her find a battle easily with any learner, taller or physically endowed better than her, in any way. Icing the animosity cake would be a slight deviation from the set code of conduct. She had a way of detecting even an intention to harbour such a thought!
Madam was a self-proclaimed psychologist;mind reader.Her expertise saw her in all disciplinary meetings. Her opinions were simply the final decisions. The deputy head teacher also harboured his resentments for the overlap of duties. However,he gave her the time to shine. As long as his payslips had better if not more digits than hers, and the system knew who was the diploma holder in ECD! (A rare feat in those days). He was the best in papers and even the boss handled him with caution lest he became the AEO and jeopardize his luxurious position.
Kamau had to be made an example,a warning to similar minded brats. He stood on the desk to lead a circus;making fun of the "hammer". The teacher who had aloe vera juice for blood. Cowards and traitors were more than one could imagine,just like the Secret Service then. A slight detection of resistance or critique to the system was uprooted like a venom lest the entire body got poisoned.
Kamau and his team were busted off guard. The drums couldn't be louder! Their butts had a common illness. This was just an intolerable behaviour. The beating was just introductory. Head teacher been around ,meant dismissal to get parents who came in duos. No one could support the pupils. The teachers were always right and even the dullest had that inscribed in their skulls.

If only madam Koru could live in modern day schools! Just a mere wish. The breed of leaders they highly trained have no doubt the best skills for parenting. Touching a child not only attracts human rights gurus attention, the government,the media and a mad fury from parents. Probably so bitter to imagine their children getting the same treatment they had.
The social status that the teachers were accorded has been lost. Does it mean that the predecessors blurred the image for the modern day trainers and tutors?
########
Elsewhere, there's a great conciliatory move. The students and teachers are forming coalitions to restore the parents' confidence. Have you not heard about the teachers who are passionate planting seeds on the maiden lands? And yes, the girls can't afford to sleep around with their age mates as long as the teachers are available!
Funny enough, is it not reported that the teachers are "approached" and threatened to dare not reject otherwise the activists and jail are in the wait for ROGUE teachers!
