Sometimes, being a good student doesn't mean you're trying to be "the teacher's pet". And neither should you criticize one. During my high school days, there was this trend "If you wanna look cool, be smart but don't be too good". Which means, you just gotta be smart enough to break some rules but don't get penalty for what you've done. Even if you got some penalties, they just gotta be too unimportant for teachers to complain to your parents, and you're safe to graduate after SPM.
This is completely ridiculous. When I was in form 4, I tried to follow the trend and be "cool", I unzipped my pinafore a little, and skipped morning assembly by hiding in the classroom. When my friends came back, they told me how bored the assembly was and I shared about how I hid myself that none of the prefects could find me.
Can't imagine that I actually did that. It was all good. Because I learned after that. Once I was caught for not attending the morning assembly, and got some demerits. That year wasn't great for me, and I dropped to the 2nd class when I was in form 5.
It would be a long story if I continue. Sometimes it's really fun to look cool and be cool, but if you're not doing the right things, it is not cool at all! I learned to respect every teachers / now lecturers, and I think that it's important to serve them. They may not be our "ideal educators", but when we learn to honor them, they will give their best in teaching us. And I believe that. :)
