BlogDay 1: Although I have never visited a low-grade government-funded school, Nai Disha is honestly exactly what I had imagined. The classrooms lacked sufficient equipment and cleanliness, but yet it was very quaint. There were only around 3 educational posters in class one’s room, and a decent sized chalkboard in the front of the class. My students were all adorable, and I wish they all can have the same learning experience I had when I was in grade school.
Shikah is class one’s instructor and she guided Amanda and I for a brief ten minutes and left to do her personal chores. When the students realized their teacher was going to be absent for a good amount of time, they became progressively rowdy and inobedient. At the moment, we were teaching them vocabulary words and they proved to be very intelligent. When the students’ monstrosity reached its peak, we were unable to control them. We took them outside to the playground hoping to change their behavior, but they just became worst. The students ran everywhere and refused to pay any attention to us. It was awful and disheartening; we were defeated.
Day 2:
Today, the children were much more enjoyable to teach. I realized that I didn’t anticipate such an energetic and wild group of students yesterday, therefore I was able to become entirely patient today with my prior knowledge. /
