I'm teaching a 7th grade English class in the morning. All of the 26 student's are borders here at the school. You can't compare teaching here in Kenya and teaching in the states. My student's are so polite. They stand when they answer a question, they say welcome and hello together as a class when I enter, and they obey! I tell them to write, they write. I tell them to listen, they listen, and no one speaks out of turn. I do believe I've been ruined for teaching in the U.S. every again.
The school where I'm at is large, there are over 900 student's: grades pre-K to 8th grade. The school has 2 buses that pick up children and takes them back home. Some kids come on the local small busses, while other's walk to school like me. There are about 150 kids that board here at the school, and they all say they like staying at the school. The main reason is that when they are home they must do whatever their parent's tell them and they never have any time for friends, so boarding at the Legacy school is the best way to go.
Well it's time for tea, so I must go to the dining hall and grab a cup of tea.
Cait - I love reading your blog everyday. I am glad to hear that it sounds like you are settling quite nicely in Kitale. The offer of a husband so early in your trip is a good sign!
ReplyDeleteI think of you often when I realize you are not just around the corner anymore.
I got your email at church and will continue to put prayer updates in the bulletin as you send them.
Love, Lisa
