Ngena kule khitshi egcwele amandla, okokuqala ukubona ngumlambo omninzi, umfundisi oselula ophakamisa imibhalo, umi phambi kwebhodi, ebamba ngenkuni, echaza ngezifundo zakhe zokufundisa. Ilanga lase midmorning elikhanyayo lisiza ngombala ofudumele kule nkqubo, abafundi behleli phakathi kwamatafula, abanye bejongo, abanye begxila enhliziyweni, ikakhulu kubona, uthando olujulile lwemfundo nokubheka emhlabeni ongaziwa.
Lokhu akukona ukufundisa okwakho, indawo ikhipha umdlandla ongenakwenziwa phansi. Ibhodi igcwele izimfihlo zokufundisa, ubhalo buveza umcabango womfundisi oselula, ngasinye sika umdlandla nokuqhuba. Isihloko salokhu kufundisa, ukuhlinzeka ngomyalezo oyisisekelo, onothando, kubafundi abasanda kwazilungiselela ukubaSemkhakheni wezemfundo, ukusiza abangena kulayini ophakathi kwemizamo yokufundisa.
Umfundisi oselula uqala ngendaba ethokozisayo. Ukhumbula ukuthi wabe ecasukile ngesikhathi efika phambi kwabafundi, ubunzima bokufunda kwangempela. "Uzoba nomuzwa wokuthi izwi lakho lincane, izinyathelo zakho zikhanya, futhi uzoba nekhono lokubona imibono yefundo." Uhleka uthi kubafundi abasha, "Kodwa sicela nikholelwe, amandla aqinile athandwa akhiwa kancane, kancane." Abafundi babhalela phezulu, bemamatheka ukuze balandele amazwi omfundisi.
Ngemuva kwendaba, uqala ukuhlaziya izimfihlo ezitholakala ebhodini. Okokuqala, "Ukuxhumana nabafundi ngendlela enobungane"—uhamba phakathi kokuphika ngesikhathi ethola umfundi ehlezi eduze enhliziyweni. “Ngibuze nje, ‘Uqinile.’ Lokho kwakuwumsebenzi wokuqala wokuqinisa ukuxhumana.” Umfundisi wengeza, ukuthi ukufundisa akukhona kuphela ukuxhumana ukwenzeka, kepha futhi kubuyisana nezinhlelo eziphakeme. Abafundi abasha bazama ukubhalela ngokushesha, befuna ukuba nezehlakalo ezijabulisayo.
Isigaba esilandelayo siyakusetshenziswa "izinkinga zisebenze kahle." Umfundisi ume phakathi nendawo, efuna izimpendulo emphakathini: "Yini eyenzeka lapho ufunda?" Umfundi uthola impendulo "ukhumbulelwa," omunye uthi "qonda." Uvangisa umongo ngale ndlela, ochaza ukuthi umfundisi omuhle akavumi ukunika izimpendulo ezivela empeleni, kepha udlula imvelaphi uvele uqondise abafundi ukuthi bathole iziphumo zabo. “Ubani okufanele uphume njengendidi yangempela?” Le mbono ibhalile ngezinye izikhathi izinsizakusebenza zifinyelela abesifazane abakha umbono wokuziqhenya phakathi kwezinkanyezi.
Izimfihlo ezabelayo njengo umfundisi oqhamukile izinhlelo zihlabe umxhwele. Njengokukhipha "ukuphatha ukuthokozisa," ucomekisa abafundi besebenzisa imidlalo mini, noma ukuklanya amalungelo okuhlanganyela. Uqondisa ukuthi imidlalo ayigqugquzeli ukungabhamuwela, ibukeka ijabuliswa. "Njengwenkanya, izifundo zenzelwe ubungcweti, okwenziwa ngempela ethokozisa emhlabeni."
Ngaphandle kokuthokoziswa, umfundisi uveze "ukuhlola izinguquko ezintsha" ukuthi kubalulekile. Ubayisa ngesisekelo sokuthi abafundi bahluka kakhulu, abanye badinga imishayo, abanye banezizathu ezinzima ukuze uphume. Umfundisi ubephokophasa ukumboza izifundo zokuqonda, futhi abhale ngendlela engokomfanekiso, ubeveza abafarleti ukuthi "ukufundisa akukona ukuhambelana nabantu bonke."
Ngenkathi kudlalwa umdlandla osiw-aFundisa, umfundisi uqhubeka ngokuqinile, ethanda ukwakha ukukhumbula kokufundisa. Ujaxazela ukufundisa akukhona ukuhamba phansi, kodwa ukuqinisekisa ukuthi uqhubekile, uthule izinyathelo eziphambili. "Qhubeka noguquko lwesikhumbuzo, ungavumeli ukuthi uthola uwoyo," umfundisi uthokozisa "ungeke wazi ukuphosha."
Lapho kwaphela ukuqeqesha, abafundi bavakasha umfundisi, bezama使 ubonise indlela yokulandela izinhla zefundo. Abafundi bezqukuma, bekhangela ukufunda nobuchwepheshe bokulondoloza. Uhlanga lusemkhakheni, banokuxhaswa kwezifundo ezibhalwe, umfundisi ngokukhanya behamba phezulu, umfundisi kanjalo, bababhalela okwakusiza, bakhuthaza amakhanda aphakeme ekuthandeni.
Ukufika, abafundi bama phawula techno, bakhuthaza laba bobabili umdlalo, behamba phambili izigigaba ngabafundi, ukuhamba ieqhanya, bazi sekusebenzi enkulu. Ngakho-ke, ngentshiseko enkulu hemhlaba.
