Yesterday we rented a motor scooter and we rode down to the west side of the island of Ko Chang. On the way we found an elementary school in rural area and a day care center. We went to talk to the children and their teacher of the after school program, we assume. She was young and very friendly and she answered some of my questions. We communicated using gestures. I found out that the children were all different ages from three to twelve years old. I was amazed to see how the children were relating to each other and playing so nice. The children seemed to be happy although they didn't have manipulative or other toys. I noticed that there was only one teacher to attend to about 25 children.
What also caught my attention was the library and to see that there was no supervison. I was shocked to see a pile of books discarded on the floor and not being taken care of. I was surprised to see that the children were watching television and there was no librarian there or any adult supervising in the library.
