It doesn’t surprise me that students chose CR and Theater/Speaking as their favorite classes, since they rarely have the opportunity to have this kind of teamwork or interpersonal experience.
Jikky’s quote summarizes that quite well. But one thing I noticed in Yinjialin was that in these ‘teamwork’ settings there were always some children who stood out as ‘leaders’ and others would mostly followed behind, (just like basketball, right?)
I think we should keep in mind that students need the opportunity to be in charge for a bit and take initiatives, not just to work/interact with others. The ‘teaching day’ class is probably a great opportunity for this.
