chapter 12

Vicky - Hmm…I think I am getting you. Aman - By the way, how was your senior teachers? I mean did you interact with them? He smiled and said, “Of course, I did.”I smiled and said, “Normally, seniors are very exploitative. They want to rule over the juniors. What about seniors in your school?”He laughed slightly and said, “The condition of senior teachers in my school was the same, especially, Mani sir. He wanted to dominate all the other teachers and to my surprise, he succeeded too. All the lady teachers and the gent teachers were under his control except one.”Aman - Who is that one? He said proudly, “That was me.”Aman - Hmm… Can you explain any incident? Vicky - Yeah, sure. The principal distributed the bundles of the papers to every teacher to check. Mani sir also got one bundle. When I finished checking my bundle, he came to me and said, “Can you check my bundle of papers too?” I clearly said, “I will not check. I have done my duty by checking my papers.”Aman - Oh, then what did he say?Vicky - He said nothing. He asked help from the other teacher. The other teacher agreed because he feared him. But I don’t fear anyone. He ended his sentence feeling proud of himself. I am a smart teacher. I know the technicalities of professionalism. He can’t force me by any means to check his papers because technically,it was his duty.Â
