We have only been working at St Marys for two days, but already we feel at home. Today Janet caught me singing the Grand Old Duke of York with the elderly Sister Lily, We have bonded (she loves me).
Sister Jancy is in oar of what we are doing, Every time I deliver a lesson she is speechless. (this is swelling my head LOL).
The characters of the children are all unique. The little tiny ones who speak very little or no English, still manage to bow and say good morning marm. They giggle and want to touch you.
The older children are as cheeky as any kid in England, except there is an innocence to them because they are not effected by the media. They know of Justin Beiber and Hannah Montana.
The quality of the childrens handwriting far outweighs any I have seen in the UK.
The attention to detail is amazing and the way they can recall information is brilliant.
Although there is a lot I do not like. I do not like the military stly assemblies, the poking and slapping. The boring teaching by rote, but I understand why they teach this way. They have no resources, nothing to help make lessons fun. Children do not get to use their imagination, their is no enquiry. Education is good in India but it is very very different to that in the UK. Mind you I think some teachers could take a lesson from them in many ways.
Roll on tomorrow.
