While Simone was absent...


The unthinkable happened: a Grade 6 girl passed out in the school yard. The reports on what led to the accident are unclear. Suffice it to say that when the school bell rang, signalling the end of recess, she was sprawled out on the ground, no longer conscious.

The lunch supervisors all went inside, ignorant of the drama that was unfolding behind them. Other students took matter into their own hands. They grabbed the girl and dragged her to the main office. Nobody was there so the students simply left the girl's prone body sprawled on the floor then rushed back to their classrooms. After all, they did not want to get into trouble for missing classes.

The girl was later rushed to hospital where she is undergoing a battery of tests. Needless to say, all lunch supervisors have been raked across the coals - Simone included...
