We, being different from anyone else, decided to give the teachers a rest on Teachers Day. No no – we didn’t declare a holiday (that would be too cliche) – we decided that the 10th Std kids would go teach the whole school! And what a terrific idea that turned out to be! The 10th kids had a blast teaching, while the rest of the children had a great time learning from them. The 10th kids got to know how difficult it is to teach, how difficult it is to maintain discipline, and how difficult it is to manage the school. Manage the school? Yes, some of the students were from the Management too! And that included Dr. Phatak, Mrs. Phatak, Mrs. Modak (our admin), Sachin kaka, Baban kaka (our admin support staff). Boy – were they tired by the end of the day. But – overall it was a great day – the 10th std. kids made a great impact on the other kids. They taught beautifully (we monitored), and made sure the other kids didn’t feel uncomfortable.
