When I had first volunteered at a preparatory school as a teacher’s assistant‚ I was thrilled and excited. I enjoyed working with children and I admit‚ was slightly disillusioned with expectations that the children would be dutiful and effortless to watch over. Unfortunately‚ all my prior imaginations crashed the second I entered the classroom. Everywhere I saw‚ it was pure chaos.
