Last month, my son picked up his UPSR results from his school. The school just got a new headmaster, a guy I knew some 6 years earlier. Rose very fast through the co curriculum route.
Made a courtesy call and exchange greetings.
Today I recieved a call from the school. Tried to call back and the phone was engaged!. So, I called him! The headmaster/friend gave a straight answer. He did not know who called me and he asked me to call the school. He did not even bother too ask his clerk despite him being in school. Yet, he was a friend. Well, he had become a headmaster, the highest level in school administration. I sense a level of arrogance had crept into him! Unlike, the previous headmistress was extremely courteous towards parents especially us!
Well, we (both of us) have served the PTA at various levels, from committee member, auditor as well as Chairman of PTA of the school. So, we basically know what the school was like.
Had I been a Datuk or even a Dr, he would had treated me diferrently. Well, I said enough!!!
