Socialization in a School (by janak boro)

  Sometime back I visited a school to observe classroom facilitation process. It was in a remote interior village in Karnataka. I was in a group of around 6 people who were also in the same journey. Before that day, I had already an experience of teaching children in different private schools for almost 13 years. Being in private schools is a completely a different experience compared to in a government schools in regard to the school environment, children, parents, infrastructures, daily routing of teachers. In all the schools I had worked, a similar pattern was observed during the beginning of academic session of every year, specially for the young children admitted in Nursery, LKG, UKG.

The main sources of the village are cultivation, gardening and so on, and people mostly depend on natural resources. The river Jinjiram flows through the face of the village and people could depend on it for fishing. Numerous streams flow from the hills within and around the village and irrigate the cultivating fields. The village was very much greenish in summer because of the paddy cultivation. At the earliest, the village was covered with thick jungles with numerous wild animals. Later, as the population grows the wild animals began to disappear moving behind to the deeper jungles. Still, numerous birds and little wild animals have existed. The village was divi ded into seven sectors or blocks i.e. Songma, Rokkepa, Nay...
