The Impolite Class

The Impolite Class

By mixed authors

            ‘I have nothing to say,’ said a teacher when he got angry by my class. My class was called ‘The Impolite Class’ and we proud because of that calling. I didn’t know why it happened. The class leader was Betty, a girl with bookworm-like face using thick eyeglasses. Perhaps, the one who saw her at the first time might say that she was a kind person. Actually, it was absolutely wrong! (Hilmy and Thalia)

            ‘What happened?’ I asked one of the students sitting beside me. But even how much I tried to talk to her, my voice didn’t reach her. It was a waste of time to ask another student because perhaps the only person who knew the problem was Betty herself and that teacher standing in front of a 30-student classroom. (Azmi and Nenci)

            So, I tried to go forward and asked Betty what happened. The thing that made me shocked, Betty was crying. Then, do you know what the most shocking thing is? The teacher was also crying. What thing had made all people crying? (Sonia and Ragah)

            Just now, I got the answer. It all was because there was another class called ‘The Most Impolite Class’. Therefore, since this was happening, my class became so quiet. I didn’t know why. Maybe, it was because of their disappointment. Finally, my class got a new called ‘The Most Silent Class’ and everybody had changed. (Wilcha and TJ)
