Hello all! Time flies especially when thinking that next Friday, we'll be going back home ka...haven't really done much, seen much, nor stayed around with our younger ones as much yet!
Wish to share about several things na ka:
- We had a one-day visit to Cambridge, led by Arm, one of our TPop-Plus team members who is a Cambridge alum. With his alum card, we were allowed to go into the colleges there....grand ancient buildings and structures with the feeling of wealth and wisdom ka!
We took pix with Newton's apple tree too and were so amused to see several brought apples as their props ka.
We talked with Clyde, a Porter at Trinity College, the richest of all there. I was struck by the authority he has been given since he could decide who's allowed to get in...he owns the entrance! I feel it has raised his work status to be more important, not only for the College, but for himself to feel proud and responsible ka. Possible in the Thai context mai ka? Would we listen or would we look for the higher-ups to get in as wished?
- Yesterday, my sister and I visited our two boys' school with their parents ka. It was, 'Open Afternoon for Parents' when parents could go into their kids' classes to see what they've been doing at school. My grandnephews were very happy to show their work with pride. Their teachers gave very encouraging comments like excellent, good reasons, etc.
After like half an hour, we were asked to leave so they could close the gate for safety sake ka.
The brief afternoon was meaningful ka: from parent participation and family bonds, to teacher-parent shared responsibility for the kids' education and activities (they sure have a few clubs for kids to do after class)!
Happy my grandnephews get this type of learning and environment ka.
