I feel sad on thinking about the misbehaviour of students in the class even though it was a very interesting and simple topic. In 4th period, I had class in 9B. I taught them how to find the decimal form of 1/6. Even though it was similar to the last problem we discussed, I explained the problem in detail. Then I asked them to find the decimal form of 1/9. Students were trying to solve it and I gave necessary instructions.  After lunch, I had discipline duty in the first floor. In 5th period, I observed Nithin Shaji's chemistry class.
