18-04-07 Teacher-Student Inversion (Creativity)

Walking around VJ, I see many ppl.
Ppl wearing uniforms, ppl wearing smart outfits.
I wonder how it would be one day,
should teachers students switch.
The teachers wear the uniform,
The students wear smart casual.

I'm sure you find it interesting,
And all the teachers too.
With such a different trend,
We all might get confused.
The 'students' walk into a class,
To have the 'teachers' standing,

"Class, can I greet you?",
"Good morning, Mr. Kwok."
The teacher feels so out of place,
Teaching 'professional'(as if...)

I somehow came to think of this,
Because I'm in JC.
The students are all well-grown,
They'd pass off as adults no prob.
The teachers all are still so young,
With wrinkles nowhere seen.

I know this is kind of insane,
But I'm an Asian.
'Asians are less creative', they say,
So I thought... "Says who?"
Malaysians thought of piracy,
Of games and all movies.
Chinese thought of mass produce,
Nike become so cheap.
Japanese think of nanotech,
A bot inside your butt.
Bangladeshis own the labour market,
Gave birth to cheap labour.
North Korea not part of U. Nations,
So they build nuclear plants.

So many proof that we Asians,
Are so, so creative.
So this is what I think.
Just because we study well,
The West get so jealous.
They try to sabo us,
So... Who cares?

Actually I also found out that Asians are more hardworking, particularly Chinese. We learned that in our ELACS class, when we're learning about the gold rush back in 1985 or something in Australia. The white people were jealous of the hard work of the Chinese immigrants who kept digging and digging for gold, and sent the gold back to China. Then racism began.
Sorry, couldn't help typing all those history, just wanna scribble some comments on your post. Hahaha~
