Nowadays, I and Munal finish one chapter on every Saturday. But, I do not focus on finishing one chapter but focus on making him understand. There is one Ethical issue. It is listening to leaner’s thought and mind. If I think finishing one chapter is more important without considering student’s understanding or position, it is not a good way as well as not a good teacher’s position. I think teacher should be aware of learner’s level and degree of understanding and so on. After that, teacher can teach him/her in proper way which fits on learner effectively.
I could find one more Ethical issue. It is ‘Responsibility’ in teaching and in being there with them. One of my friends, Abhilash, didn’t come today. They wait for us and for learning something. So, we cannot leave them though their own teacher is absent. But, from that, I could get another opportunity to teach one more student. According to Supervisor Jha sir’s words, I, Aditi and Hyunju arranged students properly and then started teaching them.
This new student who I taught today cannot understand English. So, I needed help from my student, Munal. He helped me explain to him nicely. Indeed, he also explained and tried to make him understand with their mother tongue, Marathi. I really felt happy because he tried to explain positively and patiently like what I have done with him. I and Munal could wait for him till he understands exactly. I told him, “I think you also can teach another people who are younger than you.” Today’s experience must have been good for him for next time. Yes, I and Munal, our teamwork was successful!
Also, I believe the advanced our time for solving/understanding in study and attempt for new concept must be a good challenge for both of us. I could see his enjoyment in getting new concepts and idea on his face and from his efforts. It makes another good effect on me. I can prepare and concentrate on him more and more because he wants to know and learn. So, I cannot but prepare for him as much as I can. As I and Munal planned together on last Saturday, we have studied new concept ‘Compound interest’. It was not an easy chapter. But, we kept trying to understand and solve it together. This time, we couldn’t finish this concept. We planned again to learn this concept on next time. But, we did another thing to help others get new learning.
If you prepare OR If you are ready, then you can be advanced more, faster and easier than before preparing!

Great work, Dasom. You have pinpointed the ethical issue correctly. In Munal's case, you had to go according to his level and needs, not what you thought and planned. Whether he has got the necessary tools to understand the concepts and move ahead becomes your responsibility, not the fact that you have to finish his syllabus. I appreciate that aspect of your thinking.
I think by now, the concept of team work and collaboration has been embedded in you thoroughly. Hence, you are making good use of human resource, in this case, Munal, to teach another student.The challenges met while you overcame language barriers proves once again what perseverance and determination can achieve.
My heartiest congratulations on yet another successful CAS activity.

Hi Dasom,
As per the need of the time, you and your friends took a correct decision to regroup your students.
I appreciate the work done by you and your student to help Abhilash's student. I am happy to note that it was a good learning experience for you.
Good job done. Keep it up.
With best wishes
