IN THE FOOTPRINTS OF GREAT TEACHERS-2

To keep on appreciating Mr Aiwa's high assessment, I endeavored: when he requested that we become familiar with the duplication table up to 6, I learnt it up to 12.

 

So he no longer went round the class posing them to address inquiries like "multiple times 4 equivalents? He passed on ME to do that for him, while he did what was "vital" (to him — like denoting the register or composing his Teacher's Notes!

 

He committed one error, however, which almost harmed my advancement in the school. Around mid-year, he chose, as an examination, to elevate me to Class Two. I was satisfied from the get go, yet on arriving at Class Two, I found that the educator there didn't have the smallest interest in me. Perhaps his endorsement hadn't been looked for before I was shipped off him! I was unable to be aware, obviously, as I didn't, obviously, go to educators' gatherings, at which such "tests" should probably have been examined prior to being placed into impact.

 

At any rate, this instructor didn't even try to show me anything extraordinarily designated at carrying me fully informed regarding the class. He didn't figure out what I had been educated and what was totally new to me.

 

For example, we hadn't been educated "divisions" in Class One, yet he didn't show me it, and posed me similar inquiries as he asked those to whom he'd previously shown the subject. I was extremely troubled when I was consistently guided into areas of learning with which I was unable to adapt, and eventually, I must be sent back to Class One.

 

I partook in the commonality of being on my old favorite spot massively. Yet, my inner self was wounded by the thought, held by nearly everybody that I had "fizzled" to make due in Class Two, regardless of the "clamor" that had been made about me by Teacher Akwa.
