“It’s not easy being a primary teacher, but it’s not difficult too. The key to doing many things in the classroom starts with one simple thing - ‘be in your classroom’. If you wish to strengthen your bond with kids, start taking your lunch with them. I do it every day and every day I sit with a new kid, talk to him about so many things while taking our meals,” he wrote.
