- Tuition is still the predominant language that learners and facilitators use for the learning spaces. - The culture of "Good Morning ma'am" and school style set up is something that we still continue to see at the learning spaces. - Most centres operate in a classroom style and not as a circle. Some of course are because of space limitations.  - It's impossible to gauge the reality of the situation given we go with a lot of fanfare. This is something that we will never be able to avoid.  - "Makkalu baralla" - heard this in a few places. Is it possible to attract them if we play, sing and dance? - Our visits can be very didactic. The experience is controlled and curated as much as possible. Many facilitators when working with children rely on very traditional school methods and rote learning techniques.   - Often there was labelling someone as "drop out" or saying that someone doesn't know. Need to get out of the mindset of trying to impress us and that we're conducting some evaluation.  - Lots of emphasis on writing. We saw a lot of writing for children to do.  - Hitting is an absolute no no. Not even playfully and especially not with a stick.  - The reality of the situation here might be bad in a lot of other aspects but from a learning standpoint it doesn't appear to be too bad. This obviously doesn't make sense so I suspect that the people Sakhi have been working with are already doing quite well.  - It’s impossible to run learning centres without resources. Much of the need to go to tuition centre like models is driven by lack of resources. Unless we make resources available it will be very challenging for facilitators to move to learning centres.
