Teachers Need a Watchful Eye ((OPEN))

[Amazing Admin!]

Lizzie hated school but worse than school to her were school excursions. Yes, she hated excursions. Most kids that disliked school would live for those days where they could get away from all the learning and have fun away from school on a school day. Lizzie didn't see how it was any different though, it was learning in a different environment. Most kids were tricked into thinking it was just fun but Lizzie knew that they'd be taught something today and it would start a whole lot of learning on that subject once they got back to school.

This was the third excursion for the year. The first had been to a local garden, that was just before they'd start growing a garden at the school. The second had been to see a music performance, after that they had started learning names and sounds for instruments. Today, they were at the zoo.

"Kids, I'd like you to pair up," the teacher told them all, a bright smile on her face. Lizzie hated the words but at least she always had someone to pair up with. Once of the now 3 silver eyed kids in the class always stood next to her when the teacher asked for them to pair up. Lizzie couldn't even remember the girl's name but they had an unspoken agreement, they'd pair up to make the teacher happy but then Lizzie would walk away and work by herself. The first time, the girl had followed Lizzie but Lizzie had made sure to let her know that they were not going to work together.

The teacher's eyes rested on Lizzie. They always did that. Lizzie wanted to get annoyed but instead, she took hold of the silver eyed girl's hand and said hi to her. Once everyone was in pairs, the teacher gave them instructions. "There are a few animals in this area, stay where I can see you and stay with your partner." Once she stopped talking, everyone went off in different directions.

Lizzie followed the silver eyed girl to where the elephant was but once she saw the teacher wasn't looking, she walked off to find the animals that were small and looked surprised. They were a type of cat apparently but they didn't look like cats. Lizzie knew she shouldn't be looking for them but she went to this zoo a lot, she wouldn't get lost and she just wanted a quick look at the funny animals.

“It’s late!”

Those were the words of a teenager who was running to the Zoo while he watched the hour the Zoo's clock. He needed to get there and meet the teacher of some elementary school, it was part of his detention at school. He usually wasn’t a trouble maker, but he was a hothead and whenever other kids bothered him or tried to bullied him, he never let them do it, so… he ended up in detention.

But that day, was the third day in a row he got detention, so the principal of his high school decided that only doing his homework or extra work in detention classroom wasn’t enough. He called a good friend of his who worked in the elementary school and sent HyunSang to be assistant of the teacher for that day.

HyunSang wasn’t happy about it, but he agreed on going. So he went to meet that teacher and her group of children at the Zoo. As soon as he got there, the teacher was already telling the kids to stay in pairs, and the hours that they should be back to that check point. “I’m sorry I’m late…” he said and half bowed, then he looked at her.

The teacher sighed and nodded. “It’s ok, it will be only for the day, my assistant couldn’t come today, she had a medical appointment, here…” she gave him a badge that said he was teacher’s assistant. “with this kids will know they can trust you…” then she smiled at him. “don’t worry they’re not monsters, you just need to check that they don’t split. Then help me check that all of them get back at the right hour.”

HyunSang nodded at her and smiled. “ok, I’ll do my best…” he sighed and took the badge. Then walked away following the group of kids. After some minutes, he noticed a young girl dumped her classmate and started to walk away all by herself, he sighed and rolled his eyes, then he walked to where the dumped girl was. “please go with that pair of classmates.” He smiled at her. “I’ll look for your classmate.

Then he walked to where the young blondie girl was. “hey… shouldn’t you be with your classmate?” he said letting her see his badge.
