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.
