Satchidananda Jothi Nikehan Matric Hr Sec School

Satchidananda Jothi Nikehan Matric Hr Sec School is a long name to say, so most people around Mahadevapuram just call it the school. We are right here in Coimbatore, and the campus is pretty big compared to some of the others. There are a lot of students, so it never really gets quiet until long after everyone has gone home for the evening. The halls are wide and they echo when the kids are moving between classes. We have the older students here too, so you see them stressing about their exams and carrying huge piles of books. It’s a bit different from a primary school. The teachers are mostly busy with syllabus plans and checking attendance. We have a playground that gets quite dusty in the summer months, but the kids don't seem to mind it much. They play football and cricket every chance they get. The canteen sells snacks that everyone complains about but everyone eats anyway. We spend a lot of time on the phone with parents or fixing schedules that didn't work out. It’s a lot of work running a place this size in Mahadevapuram. Sometimes the rain makes the ground muddy and we have to remind everyone to wipe their feet. It’s just a normal school day, year after year. We keep things running as best as we can without making too much of a fuss about it.
