Children Army Public School

We've been here on Chahniya Road in Mughalsarai for a good while now. It gets pretty dusty out there on the main road, but inside the gates, it’s mostly just the sound of kids running around. People in Varanasi know how busy this area gets, especially in the mornings when the buses are trying to move through traffic. Our school building isn't anything fancy, just a solid place where teachers show up every day to do their jobs. Sometimes the power goes out and we have to open all the windows to get a breeze, but the kids don't seem to mind much. They just keep talking and playing. We have some trees in the yard that provide a bit of shade during the summer months when it gets really hot around here. The staff room is usually a mess of notebooks and half-drunk cups of tea. It’s just how things go. Parents stop by the office to talk about fees or uniforms, and we try to get through the paperwork as fast as we can. It’s a lot of work keeping things moving, especially with so many students. We see the same faces every morning at the gate. Some kids are still half asleep when their parents drop them off. It’s just a regular school day, nothing too complicated. We try to keep the classrooms clean, though with so many feet coming in and out, it's a bit of a struggle. That's just life at Children Army Public School.
