THOU DOTH PROTEST

Sir,

After I found out the true meaning of this topic from my Biology teacher, Miss Z Khumalo, during a debate session, I decided to spread the truth to my peers.

Dear kings and queens of tomorrow, it is not okay to turn a blind eye on things that we see are misleading us. My mission today is to rebuke the habit or should I call it an ‘addiction’ to lies and complaining too much. Even though I may not accomplish my mission I believe one day it will come to pass.

Pupils in general are very good at complaining too much and too often.

Let me prove it to you.
Pupils make silly excuses especially when they are in the wrong. To illustrate, if a pupil was absent the previous day, as a teacher you may come across such a response, ‘teacher, I am so sorry I was not in yesterday because I went to a burial service for my grandmother in Lavumisa’, ok the teacher understands at first and feels pity for you.

On the next day the teacher asks those who did not submit their homework to see him. There you rise again, ‘teacher I forgot to write your work because I was busy studying for Chemistry and we are writing the test today?’

You then end up getting caught in the middle of your own lies and excuses.

I call that self-jailing. In other words, you complain and lie, one day you will contradict yourself. Teachers are also human.

They have undergone the stage of lying to convince. Otherwise I call these people who complain too much ‘the nullified squad’. They complain too much and then look like an old article in the newspaper; long read and understood.
Change for the better please. If you are under the nullified squad please demand a resignation.
