| On his favorite subjects to teach: | "I like to teach all subjects because they are all
very important."
|
| On the old school building: | "I am very happy with the new school building because
the old building was not easy to work in. The old school building was very
different from the new school building because the old building had no
walls, and everything would get wet when it rained. Classes would disturb
each other (because of holes in the walls). In the past, I had problems
with our building, but even today with the new school I still lack
teaching materials".
|
| On why he became a teacher: | "I have been teaching for 20 years, since 1981.
Before then, during the time of Pol Pot, I was a nurse in Trea Commune. At that time, there was a shortage of
teachers, so I volunteered to take this job. I thought that students
were unable to learn because there were very poor, and I wanted to help
them. I love teaching." [Pol
Pot was the leader of the genocidal Khmer Rough regime which ruled
Cambodia from 1975 to 1979.]
