In
Their Own Words. . .
| On the new building: |
“I like the new building because it is very nice
and concrete. The
old building was wooden and the students didn’t want to come
to school because it might collapse.
Now they like to come to school in the nice new building.
I think that the villagers like the new building because
their children can learn in a nice place.”

| On school subjects: |
“I became a teacher because I like this job and watching the
students learn. I
like teaching all the subjects, but mathematics is my favorite
because it is important and used every day in business.
The students like learning Khmer because they want to
learn how to read first. They don’t like learning applied science because sometimes
they don’t understand the lessons, so they don’t pay
attention." |
