再回E時抄送當地教育局局長:
尊敬的校長,在過去的幾次E來E往中,5月9日你說。。。05/17你說。。。06/01你又說。。。可是時至今日,學校已經放假,畢業生已經離校,我不明白貴校為什麼遲遲不肯發出這封信(如果它真的存在)。我認為我們有權知道你對此事的處理過程和處理結果,最重要是那個學生的態度,至今我們連他的名字都不能確定,你就已經宣布此事已了,要我說,NOT
YET。
這次率先回E的是教育局上,他說會去找校長了解情況,只是校長正在籌備高中畢業典禮,恐怕會遲復兩天。
10多天過後,6月18日等來了校長的信,我看到CC欄一下多了幾位收信人:
I apologize for the delay in your receiving the
attached letter concerning the tennis incident. I did not wait to deal with the
situation, as you suggested, but notified the coaches, investigated the
situation, talked with the doubles team involved and the parents of the
offending player, and disciplined the young man, all prior to school being let
out. We have planned to also conduct some sensitivity training before the
season starts next year as well.
My school secretary sent the letter to the Athletic Director,
but had filed the letter upon her exit for summer break, which is the reason I
am just now sending you a copy of the letter. I only recently located it again,
plus I have been interviewing and out of the building for a few days.
Again, I apologize for the incident and was not proud
of how the student conducted himself, but high school is a learning experience
and I believe he was remorseful for the incident. I wish you the best of luck
in the future.
附件是那個學生的道歉信的掃描本:
。。。。I was
overly aggressive towards the players whom I was playing and may have said
things that were rude, cruel, or just plain disrespectful….
I tend to go over the top with the things that I say because I just get in a
zone and completely ignore the true meaning behind the game; I lost my cool and
let thins slip. I would like to formally apologize for all of my words and
actions during the tennis match that day and if I could go back I would do it
all differently….
Thank you for
taking the time to read this; I hope that you can forgive me for my
inconsiderate actions.
我在第一時間讓兒子讀了這封信, 他只“OK ”了一聲就轉身走開了,很無所謂的樣子。我寬寬心,長舒一口氣,現在,以為這事可以了了。
直到前幾天我去商店買幾個玉米,只幾個玉米,就選擇了SELF CHECKOUT,剛要付錢時一個工作人員大媽跑過來指指我的購物袋又指指屏幕,問:HOW MANY DID YOU INPUT? 我愣了一下才明白了她的懷疑,就冷冷地瞪着她衝口而出:YOU
THINK I DO NOT KNOW HOW TO COUNT? 她和我對視了1秒,擺擺手說着SORRY轉身要走,我又追一句:WHAT’S WRONG WITH YOU? 雖然喝退了她,可我心裡一陣陣難受,也許人家也就是履行公事,並沒有惡意,是我,已經不知不覺成了刺蝟,用滿身的刺武裝自己,隨時準備還擊,我為自己感到悲哀。
