On the quiet morning of September 29th 2020, not a hair was out of place. The children were hard at work, with a majority of students coming back for their first in-class day, and the Diploma students starting their tests that would count towards their interim grades. Yet, a figure loomed in the dark, lingering in the shadows, waiting patiently for a moment to strike. A perfect storm was brewing in the air.
It was at this moment that disaster struck.
The once-forgotten speakers fitted into each classroom, only to be used during fire and lockdown alarms, went off.
“La Bamba”
The sound rang out.
“La la la Bamba”
Terror and fear were struck into the students. We asked willing students to recall the traumatic moment.
“I had never heard such a ghastly screech before!”
“I had flashbacks about the Spanish Inquisition! Nobody could have expected this coming! I could feel my faith running away!”
“My test paper is ruined now! My hands were shaking from fear!”
To make matters worse, the appalling incoherence continued for another minute. Fearful shrills persisting with it.
“Yo no soy marinero”
And then silence.
With that, a sense of relief filled the air. The horrendous music was over.
Dr Brown, a hardcore fiesta enthusiast was found to have been the culprit of this blasphemy. Many expressed their shock at the once well regarded Principal committing such an indecent act.
“He was always just so caring. He was a real inquirer and risk-taker. He just really embodied all of those IB learner profile traits.”
Along with getting a red star for “bad behaviour” for the week, Dr Brown was severely reprimanded by upper management for his callousness and demoted to “Mr Brown”.
As a result, Mr Brown expressed his disbelief at these punishments.
“The whole incident has been blown out of proportion! I was just welcoming the students back to school!”
Alas, as the great poet Shallot Hui once said: “Spanish or vanish in Chinese A”, it appears that the poor decision of Spanish has resulted in Mr Brown’s fall from grace. Subsequently, the era of “Dr Brown” has come to an end. The Education Bureau has released an announcement stating that ‘there will be some real change around here starting next week.’
This has been RCHK Leeks, bringing you the truth, more than the truth, and beyond the truth.
