Yesseca held her breath for a moment then said, "It doesn't matter who I am to Montez. Even though they shouldn't be fighting, the fault isn't exclusively on Montez. You shouldn't force Montez to apologize."
The teacher felt very upset when Yesseca said that.
Her face looked angrier than before and said, "Regardless, Montez was clearly beating Eccoy with his fists, so it is his fault. He should not have done that, so he should apologize to Eccoy."
Eccoy was obviously the teacher's favorite.
First of all, without having heard the dispute between Montez and Eccoy, she immediately placed the blame on Montez because he had beaten up Eccoy.
Second of all, and this was the most important reason, Eccoy's father was a minister.
Months ago, the elite schools in the country had been shut down leading to the children of these rich families being enrolled in regular schools.
The parents of these rich children had gone to see the teachers from the schools in private to ensure that they placed more priority on their children.
In this class, several of these parents had gone to meet with the teacher.
But in Montez's case, no one came to see her.
So the teacher assumed that Montez came from a regular family.
The teacher obviously would take the side of the director's child over the rest.
Yesseca wasn't stupid. She frowned when she noticed that the teacher was favoring Eccoy over the other children.
Doesn't the teacher know who Montez really is?
Why else was she so biased towards everyone else but Eccoy?
When Eccoy noticed that the teacher was taking his side, he felt proud.
He continued kicking up a fuss with his stumpy legs and yelled, "Teacher, Montez beat me up! He has to apologize to me! Make him kneel and apologize to me!"
Montez was about to explode in anger when he heard him say kneel.
