British Invasion

Now that I knew what more or less is expected during the school day, I was prepared for a lot of workbooks. All of the children are so joyful and their moms drop them off at school. Their children were talking about the “new teacher” so several of them came into the classroom and I got to meet them. It was great to see how much parent’s care about their children and their education. Although they are about to get out for a two week Easter break, the children are just full of joy.

That afternoon all of us were making lesson plans or emailing at our hostel when all of a sudden sixty-five British Military Officers came pouring in. Were they happy to see all of us wonderful teachers! They had been training inland for a month and had the night off so what better place to come than San Pedro. The only people left at the hostel were us and them. They were above and below us and I’ll put it this way that we did not get much sleep. What a rowdy bunch- I guess what they say about military officers is true!
