Allocation


Contrary to my initial suspicion, I shouldn’t worry too much about the workload of the kids. Each task that I mentioned should take no more than 10 minutes – if the child is paying attention on it.

There is no pre-determined sequence of finishing the task, which depends on the preference of each child, as well as the availability of space. For example, there are only eight chairs for the table of arithmatic. If it is full, you’ve got to do something else first.

And, to add to the complexity, there’s one catch: There is an uncle in the classroom who tells story. If a kid finishes everything before the end of that hour, they could spend the rest of the time listening stories (or playing as they like). However, a child could also choose to listen to the story first and then continue with their own work – it’s not a problem as long as they could finish everything on time.

We should really add it to train our medical students.

PS. Of course, as you may guess that much: I was the one to tell stories.

Even Euterpe’s kindergarten knows that I am familiar with playing the devil!
