Chapter 196
When they arrived at the kindergarten, the teacher asked other parents to bring their children home
first. Hence, Jay and Rose could only stand on one side and wait.
Jay was forced to go through an attention ceremony b y the students’ parents. He wore an
extremely sullen look on his face. He pulled a long face as he stood very still on one side.
Rose was guilt-ridden now.
Jay had always been the prodigy that others would wait for since he was a child. To have him wait
for others today was probably a volcano eruption waiting t o happen, right?
"Sir Ares, perhaps you can head back first. I''ll stay here and wait..." Rose suggested guiltily.
She had disciplined the two little devils when they did something wrong yesterday. Today, it seemed
that her discipline methods had produced very little results.
The homeroom teacher suddenly butted in and said, “ Please stay, Mr. Ares. I''d like to have a word
with you about the issues of the children’s education."
Jay nodded.
Rose''s head dropped even lower.
After sending away other parents and students, the
teacher invited Jay and Rose to the office.
Jens, Baby Robbie, and Baby Zetty were already waiting in the office a long time ago. When she
saw Daddy and Mommy, Baby Zetty''s tears started streaming down her face.
"What exactly is going on?" Jay''s low voice carried the dignified tone of that of a superior.
The teacher’s tone of voice sounded slightly reverent a t once. "Mr. Ares, Baby Robbie fought with a
few others whereas Jenson criticized the teacher yesterday. I’ve already told their mother about the
details. I wonder if she has told you the truth?
"When the two children came to school today, they started acting very strange. Baby Robbie
scolded the same students from yesterday and made them cry, whereas Jenson brought the
teacher to tears with his criticisms. I think things have gotten a little out of hand and that’s why I’m
reporting it to you."

Jay looked askance at Rose. "What are you teaching the kids?"
Rose stared at Jay in horror. "Sir Ares, I’ve already been disciplining them very diligently..."
Darn it. Why was she the one to receive a bacsh when the children were the ones in the wrong?
She was a guardian too. Who gave him the right to put the pressure on her?
Rose straightened her back and said in an upright and confident manner, "I’ve also given Robbie a
good beating because he fought in school. Jens... Jens didn''t do anything wrong, though."
Jay said incredulously, "Rose, giving someone a taste o f their own medicine is a battle strategy, not
a discipline method."
The homeroom teacher criticized Rose bluntly. "It''s wrong to use violence to curb violence, Ms.
Loyle. If you often hit your children, then the children will follow your example and hit other children.
Also, Jens was clearly in the wrong. Why are you covering up for him?"
Jay gave Rose a puzzled look. "Why did you cover up for Jens? If you defend Jens without setting
any ground rules simply because of his psychological issues, then that will only do him more harm
than good. It''s more important to have a healthy mind than to have a healthy body. You don’t know
that?"
Rose asked him, "Sir Ares, have you heard the story of the three little pigs?"
Jay nodded.
"The eldest one waszy, the second was cunning, and the third was hardworking. Which pig do
you want to be?" Jenson and Baby Robbie sniggered as soon as she finished asking her question.
Jay''splexion was pitch ck. "Rose..."
Rose hurriedly put on a cating smile. "This was the question the teacher asked Jens yesterday.
Jens was right when he said that anyone who answered this question was mentally retarded.
Although this had triggered a butterfly effect that caused the children in the ss to copy Jens and
refuse to be pigs, I think that Jens isn''t entirely responsible for the repercussions, no?"
Rose said vaguely, "Shouldn''t the teacher take the most responsibility for not being precise enough
in her statement?"
Jay stared at the unrepentant Rose, feeling extremely defeated.
"All human beings make mistakes. The teacher may have made a mistake, but the
countermeasures Jens took to respond to the teacher''s mistakes triggered an undesirable butterfly
effect. Not only did you not ask him to take responsibility for his actions, but you misled him into
thinking that he was right. This is wrong."
