Three times a week, I stray from my office in Bangalore to a Kannada-medium government school to pilot an e-learning curriculum with secondary school students. We often applaud (and rightly so) the students that are eager to learn, but we seem to easily forget the people who make it possible for them to do so. I’ll talk about the pilot in more depth in a future post, but, today, I applaud this man: a principal who is willing to try something new and untested. Thank you for giving us a chance every Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday.
