It will be a mistake and reflects ignorance to assume that there are only two things to remind children before going to school; school bags and water tumblers. Teachers need to ensure they are properly bathed, bodies and hairs dried, hair combed, dressed with shirt buttons at the right holes or properly zipped and neatly dressed. Next helping them to find their socks and the right pair of shoes. Children may mix up the right or left side their shoes in their haste to wear it especially when almost all the shoes are new and similar and the children are new to their own shoes. During meal time, our teachers have to shuttle many trips between the kitchen and the meal tables in serving rice, dishes and soups as they are too young for self service and at the same time, we prevent the children from entering the kitchen. Prior to this the same teachers are subjected to mental challenges in guiding students in their school homework and keeping them happy and occupied to prevent the house from being disorder. To prevent students from falling down while walking to school, teachers volunteered to send them to school in their own cars, making many trips in a short period of time.At times some items are left behind by the children, such as pencil box, water tumbler, PJ tee shirts, exercise books and craft work. These were quickly rushed to the children at the school unless the items are hidden in corners of tuition rooms or among clothing and overlooked by our teachers. All these uses tremendous amount of physical and mental energy on the part of our teachers while they are subjected to daily scrutiny by parents. There are no short cuts to these processes, as the situations are different every day.
