Some parents heard constant screams of joy outside of classroom last weekend and probed what got their children so excited in class. One asked, “Are the students actually enjoying themselves when they have to study?” This is probably very rare when students are asked to attend enrichment classes. 🙂 We try to make our classes[…]
Missed my former P6 kids a few days ago and started texting them, asking how they were coping with secondary school life. Knowing these children was the best gift I had received in 2014.
