The film we watched for class presented the conflicts associated with environmental challenges in establishing a school. the children in the Nepallese school are living in homes making anywhere around 250$ a year. The school was very interesting to see, because we have been critquing and following urban innercity schools i  the United States. As a result we have been making criticism regarding 'running' away from the problems by starting progressive schools and looking down upon the banking methods.
This school seeks a pedogogy based on emphasized non-violence. While I dont have the cultural context to understand the significance of the schools rule to not discriminate or abuse. The school values a 'full-rounded' person based on the way students feel and think. The teachers are forced to affect these modes of teaching in a place with nearly no resources.








This schools conflict with the Maoist politcal demonstrations  must be looked at through the culturak context, but the government/school relations can be related to the unite
