| on the new building | “I am very happy with the new building because it is clean and comfortable. The old building lacked desks, so the children were always moving the desks from one class to another.”
|
| on his past | “I have been teaching for 19 years, but I moved to this school 2 years ago because I wanted to come and help this school.”
|
| on teaching | I love my job because teaching makes me happy. Just coming to school in the morning and afternoon makes me happy. I also like the kids.”
|
| on school subjects | “The students like learning geography and mathematics. They want to know the story of Cambodia. I like to teach Khmer because I want the kids to know about the Khmer language. Actually, I like to teach all the subjects, because it is very important for kids to know everything.”
|
| on keeping students interested | “I always give good advice to the students, and so they like to come to school. I also try to have special projects for the kids. For example, our students create art to show our traditions during village ceremonies and festivals.”
|
| on the future of his students and nation | “I think my students will have good jobs in the future because they study very hard. I also think Cambodia will continue to develop if the government will raise the salaries of the teachers, and the teachers teach well. At the moment, I worry about my salary because I cannot buy many goods in the market.”
