An Alcoholic Teacher

I finished my elementary education in a public school. I had fun studying in a school where I knew all my classmates as well as my teachers. We liked all our teachers because they were helpful and friendly except one. He is our teacher in one of our subject way back in grade 5.

He always frowned and never smiles. He is an alcoholic and was very mean and inconsiderate to his student. We never attempted to befriend him because of his attitude. We were very afraid of him even before he became teacher. He was always angry without no reason at all.

He was always shouting at his students and uses harsh and obscene languages to humiliate us. He is so drunk that we cannot understand any single words that he was saying.

We were relieved when suddenly he stopped going to school. We don’t know the reason but nobody cared to ask. After a few days, one of teacher told us that he died because of too much alcohol intake. We were sorry for him and we felt guilty for wishing him bad things when he was still alive.
