irresponsible parents?

today a P2 girl had an asthma attack in my class… she ’s been quite sickly all along, often complaining of stomachache, chest pain, etc. today during my lesson suddenly came to me say she cannot breathe, heart pain. i tot was her normal discomfort, but aft awhile she came up to me the 2nd time & i felt her heart beating so fast. of coz i was scared. nvr handled dis kinda situation b4. very scared she’ll pass out in my class. i wouldn’t know wat to do..
i went to the form teacher for help. she was in a meeting, and i felt she was not quite willing to help, even tho i told her the girl was in bad shape. maybe these experienced teachers have experienced many situations like dis, so it didn’t worry them.. or maybe she tot i could communicate beta wif the girl’s family, as they only spoke chinese & dialect. so…i called up the girl’s family to pick her up asap.
then, i had to accompany the girl downstairs. she told me she couldn’t walk at all, looked like she’s in alot of pain. she looked as if she was gg to collapse anytime. i reli din know wat to do, asked her to sit down & went back to the form teacher again for help. AND, again, she din seem willing to help. a PE teacher who was also at the meeting came to help. phew! she was reli good at calming the girl down, and kinda calmed me down too.
i don understand y the form teacher appeared to be so 无动于衷?! itz a girl fr her class lor! i’m new, i’ve nvr met such a situation, can’t she help abit??
anyway, i called the girl’s grandma twice tonite. she’s now at KK hosp, under observation. wonder wat happened to her… poor thing… hoping she’ll recover soon. 没有什么比健康更重要！

dis girl just makes me think of all the poor children i’ve met so far. the only one taking care of her is her grandma. her mum is a thai, and she doesn’t know where her mum is. her dad has to work, so she seldom sees her dad.
i reli wonder y so many parents nowadays r so irresponsible?! give birth to the child & do not want to take care, or do not have the ability to take gd care of the child… or just throw the child to the grandparents. come on, the grandparents alr took care of the parents for more than half of their lives, can’t the parents be more filial, let the grandparents have beta lives?? and not throw them another burden.
these parents don’t think.. don’t plan.. 生孩子容易，养孩子困难！if u r not ready for the commitment, cannot give ur child the care, the love, the time… then don’t give birth. don’t let ur child suffer.
reli angry at these parents! some don’t even hv enuf to feed themselves, but want to have children. and many of these children end up having academic problems, or behavioural problems. who to blame? definitely not the children. they r the victims.
