Consider this case-
There is a school excursion. The
headmaster had invited most of the students for the outing.
All the invited students had a great
time together and were a part of the group video. That was shared via social
media by the star student and generated great excitement.
However, the few students, who had
not been invited for the excursion, saw the video and felt hurt as they had
been left out. Why did the headmaster or the teachers not include them?
They were not sure whether this had
been done intentionally or unintentionally by the headmaster. Why did the
headmaster or staff treat them differently than the rest of the class?
The ignored students and their
supporters publicly confronted and complained to the headmaster, the staff and
the star student involved. The aggrieved students threatened that they would
adopt non-cooperation and boycott classes.
Seeing the quick condemnation,
social media outrage, and the deluge of posts regarding this issue, the
school-staff including the headmaster feared the loss of face and revenue i.e.
school-fees. What if the ignored students really decided to quit school?
