The first four chapters had a lot of information to take in.
Reading about the teacher's reaction or more aptly said, non reaction, to what is happening in the classroom, my first reaction is to wonder just how much attention she is paying to her students. My second reaction is to think what if I end up like that? Not noticing the issues going on right under my own nose? It's one thing to not do something properly and to notice and learn from it. But to do something wrong and not even know or realize...
I wonder what her reaction was, what everyone's reaction was to how they were portrayed in the book? Did they learn from it, did they change the way they did things?
Another thought that ran through my head while reading this was to think that this was written back in the nineties and keeping in mind the editing process and the actual observation, these children were children in early nineties or even late eighties. Where are they now? What are Raji and Peley doing now? Did their social problems get better through the years? Did they even complete school?
Did anyone else think about this?
