Amir came home very upset and very stressed today, I feel bad for him, I feel bad that Amir at the age of only 8 years old had lost trust in his school mates. it all started this term at school when they began to learn about the ancient Egyptian civilisation, recently they were shown pictures of Tutankhamun, Amir was excited and told the class that he has a replica Tutankhamun casket with a little mummy inside it, the class and teacher asked him if he can bring it and show it at class time, I got him this beautiful little item from Egypt sometime ago and he absolutely loved it, it was always standing proudly on his desk in his bedroom. This morning he took it to school and showed it proudly to his teacher and class mates, by this afternoon it was stolen from his school bag while he was having his lunch, his teacher found him in a stressed state looking all over the room for his mummy, she gathered all the kids and asked them to empty their bags and pockets but it was no where to be seen.
He is angry with the school, angry with everyone in his class, he can not trust any of them any more, he learnt today that 8 year olds can be thieves too!
I have made a fuss, I phoned the school, I sent an email and sent a letter by post to the head teacher, they promised to do a full search on Monday and if the item is not found then they will send letter to all parents asking them if their children brought this item to their home. I myself do not expect it to be found.
This is the state of most schools in London, full of kids from dysfunctional backgrounds that have no manners what so ever, have no respect for their teachers or any adults, most of them can get away with anything as no one has any control over them and here I am not talking about just white kids! London school kids come from all over the world and unfortunately while this might sound bad but the reality is that most bad kids are not white but Arab, Asian and Black, most of these kids come from families that turn a blind eye to their kids bad behaviour and end up accusing the good people of being nasty and abusive to their precious little angels.
The mummy was not an expensive item but Amir loved it and was proud of it and wanted to share it with his class mates, he will not be doing that anymore!

I m so sory 4 what happened with Amir that is not his fault or his friends its school fault and their parents 2 ,how lets their kids do something like that wen they notice there is something stranger its theirs??? in house.
something like that happened in my school 2 and wen u want 2 find it u can't know were they put it. wen we knew who did and talked with her she said i could not stop taking thing isn't mine , as that her behavior and learnt wen she was young and wen her parents asked her she said it was as present or my friend gave it 2 me !!! and they just say its OK!!!. and that bad thing wen kids lost trust people who are with him were he is...
i hope Aime find it
thank Sir
oh so sorry that he had to go through this
inshalla they will find it
I feel sorry for Amir,he is learning the hard way.
Believe me Anglo it happens in supposedly excellent and very selective schools.
I still remember the first incident that occured to me , I was only 5 and not going to the usual gov. school. Then few years ago, with one of my children I went with the same experience: she was Amir's age at that time, and guess what was missing? a Christian Dior coat(yes! just to tell you what kind of kids were going to that school). We received a note informing us!
I think that the blame is to be put on the parents, how can't they notice that their children are bringing home aomething that don't belong to them?
And when they are older theft doesn't only include electronics, money etc... it also include notebooks, notes etc...again this is what happened to my daughter in an AP class.
Unfortunately in a glimpse her notes disappeared in the classroom, and were never found. Cheating, stealing are common things in the best schools unfortunately. H.

انا اسفة جدا لما حدث لصغيرنا امير
ويعوضه ربى افضل
وخيتك مى
السلام عليك
بلغ امير تحياتي وخليه يشوف لجانب ايجابي في الموضوع بالرغم من مرارة اللي صار لكن هذا درس للصغار والكبار كيف لازم نعرفوا نحافظوا على حاجاتنا قبل ما نفكروا نثقوا في الاخرين، كيف في مرة ثانية ما يكونش غلط انه يوري صحابه حاجة عزيزة عليه او ان يرفع معاه كتاب مثلا او قصة للمدرسة لكن لازم يقدر قيمة الحاجة اللي عنده وينتبه ان في اخرين ممكن يستسهلوا طريقة الحصول عليها، سرقتها مثلا وفي اخرين اسؤ من هكي، يعني كان ممكن يخش امير للفصل ويلقى المومياء بتعته مكصرة ع الزليز اذا كانت فخار او مخبطها حد على الحيط ومعفزها اذا كانت معدن
ما تزعلش يا أمير المومياء تتعوض لكن الامر مش ح يوقف عند بس مومياء، ان شاء الله بطول عمرك ونشوفوك راجل حامل المسؤلية ولما تكون عندك حاجة ثمينة تعرف كيف تحافظ عليها وتحميها من ايادي المتربصين الطويلة
درس قاسي يا أمير لكن مهم وكويس انك تتعلمه بكري وما تنساش لازم تكون عندنا ثقة في اللي حولما لكن لازم يكون عندنا فطنة في نفس الوقت تحمينا من أي حادث غير متوقع

Salam Anglo-Libyan,
This makes me sad as well as gets my dander up.....lol
Even if one is not "raised" with the basic moral fibers of knowing the difference between right and wrong, there seems to be a natural instinctual button that goes off in our heads or stomach sending a signal something is not right, but for some they just do not care and ignore the warning. Unfortunately they have no idea what kind of affect their actions have on the innocent victim. Poor Amir.
When I read the title of your post, I thought it was about Cleopatra tomb not about Amir's Missing Mummy.
Cleopatra Tomb Site Found?

Reagrding schools, it seems that schools are catering to immigrants way of life, which I find it wrong, these immigrants need to adapt to the new country laws, society rules, usually most immigrants now come from countries who have no respect for law in any form plus they are undisciplined. I am not surprised what you said but at the same time I have to say we do have White Trash http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_trash in USA. Each Society has it own White Trash.
The only way you solve this problem either you send kids to private schools or live in high income white class neighbourhoods or suburbs, which most people do not have this choice.
To make Amir happy if he does not find it, buy him another one. Take him to The British Museum to learn about Egypt.

Good luck with your mission.

استاذ انجلو بالنسبة للسرقة ليست مقصورة على الجنسيات الاخرى التى تقيم في لندن بل حتى السكان الاصليين انفسهم فانا على سبيل المثال ادرس في جامعة لندن وحدثت بها سرقتين للابتوب في نفس القسم وفي نفس السنة,, ناهيك عن الاشياء الصغيرة كالالات الحاسبة والاقلام الخاصة ووصلت حتى للملاعق السكاكين.والمؤسف من سكان البلد نفسه.
thank you all for the support for Amir :o)
I have never suggested that stealing is only done by immigrants only, of course thieves come in all colour and nationalities including Indigenous people!
a last comment even tough the subject seems to be closed, and this comment is for musiclover.
You're not exempted from this kind of problems even when you live in a high income suburb or city and you are speaking about the USA. I live in which is considered to be the safest place in SoCal and we have one of the best school district and we see things going on...

What a disappointment, I feel for him. I was about the same age when my boyscout leader (Akela) stole my gun. It happens in the best of societies but I bet he wont be as naive or as trusting next time, all part of life's little lessons.
you had a gun as an 8 year old boyscout! :oS
I like your name, Tripoline ;o)
I am sorry for Amir and for your entire family.
I agree with a previous commenter that it would be good for Amir to receive a replacement. Any reader from Egypt willing to do the job?
About the different people and schools, I remember what the Catcher in the Rye said once, "The more expensive a school is, the more thieves you can find in it." Money cannot improve human nature; only God can, unfortunately.
thank you Maya, I appreciate your support.
I have relatives in Egypt and I promised Amir to get him a replacement inshaAllah as soon as I can :o)
I like the quoute of The Catcher.
