A.S.M. Middil School

A.S.M. Middil School is situated right at the Rabari Colony Cross Road in Amraiwadi. If you know that intersection, you know it is one of the busiest spots around. There are buses, rickshaws, and people everywhere. Our school sits right in the middle of all that energy. The building itself has been around for quite a while and it shows its age in a few places. We have some cracks in the plaster and the paint isn't as bright as it once was, but the structure is solid. We mainly handle middle school students, which is an age where they have a lot of opinions and even more energy. The classrooms are filled with the standard wooden benches and desks that have survived many groups of kids. We have large windows to help with the ventilation because the Ahmedabad summers can be really something else. During the recess, the noise from the playground almost manages to drown out the traffic from Rabari Colony. We don't have any of those modern smart boards; we still use chalk and talk. It works for us. The teachers are used to the noise and the dust. We keep things running on a tight schedule so the day doesn't get away from us. It’s a very local, down-to-earth school where the children from the surrounding chawls and apartments come to get their basic schooling done.
