COP and WHIP… my days in elementary

I've searched my old files and found this!

I remember that I've posted this a year ago but unfortunately, I deleted it along with the other entries I have here.

I decide to bring post it again.. I just wanna share these crazy and funny experience to y'all. :)

Nowadays, I often get flashbacks of my elementary days. Weird though, but recollections just come and go. Perhaps I’m just missing the old times… my uniforms were a polo blouse and a maroon jumper, so cute… my classmates and I have our own fortress in school… we play silly games (ice-ice water, 10-20, putubong 123….hahaha) as if there is no tomorrow. I miss being a kid.

I was walking home whilst I saw my teacher in Pagbasa when I was in grade school. Mr. Teodoro Paez (a.k.a. Sir Teody or Sir Paez) had been our teacher for two consecutive years and honestly he has been our laughing stock since then. Yeah… you may say we’re rude but we aren’t! We just make of him because his treating us like toddlers! Where will you see a fifth grade class singing nursery rhymes? Yep… only in our Pagbasa class. I remember one time we had an examination and the question was…

1. Ang pulis ay may hawak na _________

a. baril
b. latigo

Out of common sense, each of us answered (a) which is baril. Apparently, a cop has a gun so it is the one he is holding. We were so dumbstruck when Sir Paez told us we are incorrect for the answer is (b) latigo. Some of my classmates were protesting while I’m just laughing at one side of our room. I know they’ll never win against our teacher… *laugh…laugh…laugh…* Until now, whenever me and my friends get together (for we are studying in different schools now) like birthdays, vacations, sembreaks… somehow that question is being brought up and everyone will just burst out laughing really hard. However, I really want to express my grandest gratitude to Mr. Paez. If not for him, our elementary days would be less memorable.
