Cupped hands, vomiting into a teacher's

A fellow pupil became rather green about the gills during a lesson and showed signs of imminent hurling. As there clearly wouldn’t be time to get the pupil to the toilets, the teacher had to take emergency action. However, instead of doing something sensible, like grabbing a wastebin and thrusting it towards the pupil, the teacher cupped his hands and allowed the pupil to vomit into them. To this day I’m utterly mystified by sir’s motivation for protecting the sanctity of a scuffed classroom floor.
