Here’s the brief translation of the Facebook post.

“Since last week, my son has been telling everyone how excited he is about the upcoming Children’s Day because his teacher promised to buy everyone a McDonald’s meal.”

“On that day, the teacher called out his name and he happily ran to the front to get his meal, but the teacher suddenly said, ‘There’s no food for you, go back to your seat!’. My son went back with a broken heart and started crying.”

“The kids beside him were saying, ‘Teacher, he’s crying!’, to which the teacher replied, ‘Don’t bother about him!’. To my son’s teacher, do you feel happy after humiliating a 7-year-old child?”

Apparently, there were only two kids who didn’t get their food out of the whole class because their handwriting were said to be “too ugly”. The extra meals were then distributed to the other teachers.

“If the teacher didn’t intend to give him food, why call him out in the first place?” the mother added.

The Facebook post quickly spread like wildfire on social media with netizens roasting the teacher. Many said the teacher was inconsiderate and not fit to be a role model for school kids. However, the deputy headmaster had clarified that it was purely a misunderstanding and that the school management had met up with the parents to resolve the issue. 

Well, we’re certainly glad to hear that the school had acknowledged the problem instead of sweeping it under the rug, but we’re not sure if the child can recover from that incident. Stay strong, kid!
