Classroom a Lab for Demo

In dynamic classrooms
        Amid inquiry and exploration
                 with my mind racing, in casual attire or rolled-up sleeves,
   
With my hands on experimental apparatus,
       questions, not answers or rote memorisation

Next to workbenches, savouring discovery,
         Standing among student projects or in nature, even in a community 
                  space.

 Listening to passionate debates, being challenged 
                     by young minds questioning everything
                 
I can foster a laboratory of democracy.
         Critical thinking, pragmatism, social engagement, scientific method, art,     
                     ethics.
                             When one student connects learning to real life, I am elated...

I am no longer a mere instructor.
        I am in a town hall, under a microscope, in society's framework, 
                I am a facilitator, a co-learner, a social reformer, and a progressive    
                         thinker.

In evolving educational spaces, 
            Surrounded by hands-on experiences, not confined by textbooks at all,
                
Yet continuously reflecting on theory and practice, 
            I learned to revolutionise education.
