<h2>Too Cool For School</h2><p>Victor Lorot is a grade 3 pupil in Zawadi Yetu Academy. Lorot liked only to play games and didn't want to do any class. If anything new as introduced to class. If anything new was introduced to class, we wouldn't enjoy it. He just wanted to play games. Whenever we could, we sent him out of the computer class and back to his regular class.</p><h2>Inspired By Specialty Lessons</h2><p>Luckily, Lorot was very interested in video production when we introduced it. He was very excited, very happy. He did it on his own. He was even asking the class "<strong>nani hajaelewa nimfunze!</strong>" <em>(I'll teach anyone who didn't understand!)</em> Lorot is not the video production teacher in grade 3.</p>
