Ideal English School

If you’re looking for us, we’re located in Malappuram. It’s a simple building that doesn't stand out too much from the other houses and shops on the road. We’ve been operating here for a while now, and most people in the neighborhood know where we are. The school is just a plain, functional space where we hold our classes. We have some fans that rattle a bit when they’re on high speed, and the walls could probably use a fresh coat of paint, but it works for us. The kids come in every morning, mostly wearing their uniforms and carrying heavy bags full of books. We don’t have any big sports fields or fancy labs; we just focus on the basic subjects and making sure the students understand what’s in their textbooks. During the monsoon, Malappuram gets a lot of rain, so we spend a lot of time making sure the kids don't track too much mud into the classrooms. The staff is just a small group of us who have been working together for years. We eat our lunch together in the small room at the back. It’s a quiet life for the most part, except when the bell rings and everyone rushes out to find their parents or the bus. We don't try to be anything we’re not. It’s just a place for learning and getting through the school year one day at a time. Sometimes the power goes out in the afternoon.
