In Their Own Words. . .
| on the new building | “I am happy with the new building because it is not hot and it is easy to teach in.”
|
| on himself | “I am 23 years old and I live with my grandfather near the school.”
|
| on his students | “I think my students will become leaders in this village because they know it well and they try hard to learn.” |
| on Cambodia’s future | “There are more rural schools now so I think that will help Cambodia develop.”
|
| on the joys of his job | “I like teaching young kids, so that is my favorite part of the job.”
|
| on school subjects | “My students like to learn mathematics and Khmer because they use these subjects every day. They do not like learning social science because there are no teaching materials. I like teaching social science because I was trained well in how to teach it, and this subject deals with Cambodian history. I do not like teaching mathematics because the lessons are long.”
|
| On teaching techniques | “I try to give my students good advice and keep them coming to school.” |
