outdoors.
Discipline was strict, and teachers were highly respected. Students addressed their teachers with great
formality and stood up whenever they spoke. Lessons focused on reading, writing, and arithmetic, with a
strong emphasis on memorization and recitation. Physical punishment, like a ruler on the knuckles, was not
uncommon for misbehavior.
During breaks, students played traditional games like "o an quan" and "banh đũa." These activities
helped build strong friendships and teamwork. Without modern technology, students found joy in simple
pleasures and learned to be creative with limited resources.
