The other side of School

Well, the last few posts were by students of 11 A.... And this one is about the life at school from a different perspective... Enter the Biology Group!!!

The first day was actually amazing... We were surprised to see that Mrs. Subhashini Rao, our English teacher for the past 2 years was our class teacher. That was a good omen I guess. But what really is peculiar about my class is the strength... Our class has a roll call of around 30 students, give or take a few people who are yet to decide whether they are continuing, or not. This when compared to the strengths of the other classes, ranging around 45 or more, is pretty small, and the classroom looks practically abandoned.

The ratio of the boys to girls in the class is miniscule! 6 boys and 24 girls! Thats like the exact opposite of A section, which has the numbers reversed!

Our teachers seem to be a good lot this year. Having Shankaraman, for maths.... Well, its hard to say whether its a boon or a bane. Boon because, its only humour in uniform in his class, or a bane because he has the speed of a Lear jet!

English, we have one of the best teachers, maybe after LS in our school and no qualms.... Physics, again, we have Shivakumar, who happens to know the right dose of fun and teaching.

Chemistry, we have a new teacher, who has joined this year, called Lalita.. She could have been an instant success in the theatre, for her way of talking makes us believe that. But other than that, he Chemistry is pretty accurate, and teaching to the point

Next comes the greatest subject of all. BIOLOGY... We have two teachers for one subject. And the revised text book actually has one of my favourite chapters ( or lack thereof ) DIVERSITY IN THE LIVING WORLD as the first chapter.

All around the mulberry bush,
Annelida chased Mollusca
The teacher's thought it was all in fun
Pop! goes enthusiam for bio!!!!

That was pretty lame I guess, but it was written during Maths. And a big thanks to Niranjan, who came and saved us for about 15 minutes from the agony of Maths.....
