Boss, sit down and hold on tight, because I've got news that'll make you realize there are still serious people in this world! Judge Costică Ciocan, a guy with all his marbles, took a trip to the "Ioan C. Ștefănescu" Technical College in Iași - yeah, right where the youth learn a trade, not just how to pose for TikTok. Two whole hours, bro, he talked with students from a high school class and a vocational class. When I heard, I said: "Well, look at that, there are judges who come down among the people, not just in courtrooms with their robes on!"
And he didn't come on his own; teacher Savin Irina Isabela invited him - kudos to her for taking this initiative! The discussions revolved around students' rights, legal responsibility, and how a minor can work legally. I mean, exactly what any youngling should know so they don't end up in jail or get scammed by some slickster. Mioara always tells Brian: "You, listen up, 'cause if you do stupid stuff, nobody's bailing you out!" Now if they'd at least listen to a judge, maybe they'd get it.
The judge explained concrete notions of legal liability and answered questions. And no joke, the students were interested and asked questions - not like back in my day, when the teacher talked and we stared at flies. "I was glad to meet engaged young people eager to better understand the rules that influence their daily lives," said the judge. For real, you don't see that every day. Back in Berceni, if a judge comes to school, that's national news!
The event is part of a series of legal education initiatives for youth. And just like that, while some are causing scandals on TV, others are teaching kids what's right and wrong. Who knows, maybe in a few years, Brian will be a lawyer, not just a footballer. We'll see. I'm off to text Mioara that maybe without TikTok, real education is possible!
