In University her seniority in Education n in classroom n in rural Schools exposure exceed the Educators n Professors who Taught her. Untill it was discussed among themselves.
One of her Prof address this lady with 20 years experience of Teaching in Primary schools as Mdm. But few of the Teachers who taught her class when she meets them fur Consultation .few of them asked her" are you great" ? "You know everything?"
She was confused n dnt know what to say. The reason, she has been in Admind work n has been handling multiple task in schools she has been Teaching ,hardly she had time to sit to talk or to ask anyone about anything. Her first day in University, everyone was asked to talk about them selves.
Mostly 3 years , 4 years n the most 5 years teaching n working experienced. This lady at age 41, introduced her self n said she was Teaching for 20.years, that's her Teaching experience.But this lady Teacher never involved in research related field in those schools only her last year in primary school , she wrote a Research papern hand it to her boss .
