When the dampness was on a window my friend wrote "Chris was here". Instead of making an imprint of his hand above it he wanted to put the bottom of his boot. As he pressed his boot against the window our other friend pushed him from behind and his foot went through the window. Both of them were suspended. Do you think that's fair?

How old are they and where was this? More details needed.

Are we talking 8 year old boys or English teachers?

The window would still be there if it wasn't for their horseplay. Window's are expensive to replace. Not only will the glass need to be replaced but they will have to hire someone to install it . The majority of the blame should be placed on the idiot who pushed him. It's always fun until someone loses an eye.

Stop right there - I believe we've found the real culprit.

Haven't we figured out that Olivencia was an Anti-English Spectrum spy a long time ago?

I was at work with my friend, when we noticed some condensation on a window in one of the rooms. My friend Chris wrote "Chris was here" on it. Instead of making an imprint of his hand above it, he wanted to press the bottom of his boot against the window. As he pressed his foot against it, another friend of ours jokingly pushed him from behind, and his foot broke through the window. Both of them were suspended from work because of this incident. Do you think it was a fair punishment?


My proof is that I corrected your Konglish in the above quote

Does being suspended have any real consequences? When I started to grow older I also started to recognize that most punishment methods used for kids are only symbolic.

Well I fixed it in such a way that it doesn't sound like a Korean infiltrator trying to relate a story to us in broken English to catch us hating on Korea.

The OP doesn't sound like a native speaker, but Koreans are allowed on here too.
