Class Supervisor

 Written by: Muhammad Anwar Andar

First Lane:

Adila has not gone to the school. Her brother, Jamal says to her that, the class supervisor made her absent. Adila asks about the class supervisor. Jamal says that he doesn’t know about her/his job. Meanwhile, peddler arrives and they welcome him. The peddler asks about their argument.

Jamal says that Adila is enrolled recently in the school and she doesn’t know about the responsibilities of the class supervisor.

The peddler turns his talking box.

Sonia, a resident of Herat province says, “A class supervisor takes attendance and prepares questions for the exam.”

Wahidullah says, “The class supervisor take daily attendance in the class.”

Peddler turns off the talking box. Sonia says that she did not get enough information about the class supervisor.

Rabbit comes out from the bag and she says that she would explain the responsibilities of a class supervisor. She says, “Each class has one supervisor. A class supervisor is a teacher who takes daily attendance in the class. He/she pays attention to the cleanliness of his/her students and their classroom. He/she prepares questions for the exam; he/she receives the problems of the students and shares them with the school administration. From grade 1 to grade 3, each class has one supervisor and he/she teaches the students of his/her class too. In upper classes, there are more than one teacher but each class has one supervisor.”

The children repeat the information about the class supervisor and the rabbit tells them a melody about the class supervisor. Peddler and rabbit go to the next lane.

Second Lane:

Peddler enters the lane. Yusra, Haroun, and other children welcome him. Peddler brings out his mobile phone from his pocket. Yusra says that she remembers a joke related to mobile phones. Peddler wants her to tell the joke.

Yusra tells the following joke: “A fat girl went to a doctor and wanted him to prescribe her some medicines for losing weight. The doctor advised her to exercise football for this purpose. A few days later, the girl went to the doctor again and said that playing football caused her to be more fat. The doctor asked how long she plays football. The girl replied that she play football as long as her mobile phone has not finished its charge.”

Peddler likes the joke. Yusra asks about their prizes. Peddler says that if they find the correct answer to the following puzzle, then he would give them a prize, “What is that which has teeth but doesn’t have a mouth?”

Children find some answers but the peddler doesn’t accept. Finally, Yusra finds the correct answer which is a comb. Peddler gives each of them a comb as a prize.
