Day 6 (Jumat, 22 Juli 2016)

I went to school in the morning by tuktuk. I went there with my friends, Dian and Jeffri. They came from UII and Syiah Kuala University. We arrived at the school early in the morning, so we could see what they were going to do. They had to have a students’ activity (it is almost the same with flag ceremony). However, flag ceremony is usually done only on Monday or Independence Day. In Thailand, they have the ceremony every morning from Monday to Friday. They also wear the uniform based on the class they take. So, when they wear white shirts with dark blue skirt, it means they learn like English, Math, and Science and so on. They spent their time around 30 minutes for the ceremony and they continued with the sharing time between teachers and students (such as counseling) for 10 until 15 minutes.  After the activities, we were going to see around the school. They have 6 grades there from seventh to twelve because they have Junior High School and Senior High School.

I started to see the 2/1 Class. It was time for sharing. Unfortunately, the students were not there because they still had activities outside. They had time to play basketball, football, playing music and so on. When they learnt English, they still use their native language. Maybe it is caused by the position of English in Thailand and Indonesia are same. They are foreign language.

Actually, students in Thailand are very polite. They usually greets their teacher by saying Sawaddi Ka every time they meet.
