A can of beer

I left my last marathon thursday stop feeling deeply disturbed and apalled. I had walked into the house and saw my 10 year old student drinking from a can of beer.

"are u drinking beer?"
"yes"

me looks astonished.
mother actually replied me "She was out in the sun today, so i gave her a beer to cool her down...."

Me is stunned.... very stunned and continued to be so till the end of the night.


She proceed to drain out the can before her class with me. The class that was suppose to be her first post holiday class. She tried to play her scales and her exam pieces.

I knew it was not her fault that she couldn't play well, the girl was flushed like a baked lobster and slurring....

WTF right?


And yes, this is the same said student who already has a weak heart, special blood meds and a fridge of health issues.



What i don't understand is that, she was a tiger mum to her elder one and she is turning out brilliantly and a pleasant to teach.
