A TEACHER IN A SPECIAL CLASS
Like others teachers, Pham Thu Thuy enjoys her teaching
job. However, her class is different from other classes. The
twentyfive chidren, who are learning how to read and write in
her class, are disabled. Some are deaf, some dumb and others
mentally retarded. Most of the children come from large and poor
families, which prevents them from having proper schooling.
At first, there was a lot of opposition from the parents of the
disabled children. They used to believe that their children could
not learn anything at all. In the first week, only five children
attended the class. Gradually more children arrived. Their
parents realised that the young teacher was making great efforts
to help their poor kids.
Watching Thuy taking a class, one can see how time
consuming the work is. During a maths lesson, she raised both
arms and opened up her fingers one by one until all ten stood up.
She then closed the fingers one by one. She continued the
demonstration until the children realised they had just learn how
to add and subtract. The children have every reason to be proud
of their efforts. They know a new world is opening up for them.
