Logic apa ni?
“Teacher Wang, do not ride a bike any more. You’d better buy a car,” wrote the mother in the chat group, which has 58 members including parents and teachers.
Wang replied: “Thank you for your concern. It’s an enjoyable experience to ride a bicycle. What’s more, it’s not far from my home to the school.”
However, the mother persisted: “If it rains, it will be inconvenient. So it’s better to buy a car.”
“If it rains, I won’t ride the bike. I will hold an umbrella and walk to school. Anyway, walking is perfectly fine for me,” Wang replied.
At this point, the mother revealed her real reason for insisting the teacher drive to work: “My son has been riding in a BMW since his birth. The people around him all have luxury cars. You are his teacher. You ride a bicycle. What will he think, in your opinion?” she wrote.
“What will he think about the fact that I ride a bike?” asked the puzzled teacher.
“Every day I tell him to study hard. And he finds you riding a bike to work, what will he think? He will definitely think that a teacher can’t make money and studying is useless,” wrote the mother. “You work hard for half of your life but your living standard is not as good as my son’s – he has had a BMW to sit in since his birth. I bet he won’t study hard in future.”
