Deoria Senior Secondary School

We have been here in Deoria for quite some time now, right near the over bridge. The school building isn't fancy or anything, but it gets the job done for the kids coming in every morning. Most of us who work here live nearby, so we know the families and the traffic around the bridge pretty well. It gets very busy during drop-off times in the morning. The classrooms have desks that have seen a lot of use over the years, and the walls usually have some charts the students made last year. We focus on the regular subjects like math and science because that’s what the senior secondary exams require. The playground is where the noise really starts around noon. It is a bit dusty, especially in the dry months, but the children do not seem to mind much at all. We have a small office where parents come to pay fees or talk about how their child is doing. Sometimes the fans make a bit of noise in the summer heat, but we keep them running all day. Life here follows the bell. From the morning assembly to the final gate closing, it is just a steady routine of lessons and chalk dust. We aren't doing anything revolutionary here, just making sure the books are opened and the homework is checked. The location is easy for everyone to find because of the bridge. People just tell the rickshaw pullers to drop them near the school. It is just a regular part of the neighborhood.
