I was correcting a student's sentence in class this evening and the contents of his little paragraph made me feel bad for him; and for children in his village.. Apparently there is only a primary school in his village- and the closest secondary sch is 10km away.. So children who wanted to go to sec sch had to either stay with relatives or in dorms...

We're so fortunate in SG - it makes me upset to learn of the still patchy access to education opportunities here, but it's so hard for me to do anything to change things..
