Five Days Holiday

Our exhibition held on 15th November made us very busy and active. I am glad it went smoothly and wish to conduct more such programs involving school children. I want teachers to give more time on children's art and craft work because children were regular and very happy. They were happy because we didn't assign them homework. I simply love to hear them hum when they are busy.

Its warm and very quite day as our five days school holiday began from Tuesday 25th of November. Thanks to the 18th SAARC summit held in Kathmandu. Today is the third day and I am flipping back my diary and old planner going through lesson plans trying to figure out if in case anything is left to teach or needs repetition so far.

I usually don't ask for feedback from parents but maybe I should because I remember filling questionnaire in my son's school in Japan. I didn't understand few Kanji but my Hiragana and Katakana was good so I somehow managed to write my opinion.

Here we have Parents Teachers meeting quarterly and I often listen them patiently answering each and every questions.

Recently week after the exhibition I had one parent who admired our effort but advised me to talk to some one who could be my consultant regarding school matters. Without hesitating I agreed and hours later I questioned myself about my dedication, experience, hard work and of course my passion. Most of all why did that parent advise me to do so hit me hard.

I tried to convince how the Montessori education is different from our traditional system. I don't know if I did but now I have to think in a new way and almost like start from the scratch. I plan to introduce the Montessori materials we have been using to the interested parents some day.  For this my only shield is to empower my teachers and staffs who have done wonderful job so far. I've made all the plans and am going to get everything sorted.
