1st day of school/ Marseille photos
It was my 1st day of school today, and I'm pretty excited about the year. The classes are less my own than it was made out to be - I won't be assigning homework or worrying about discipline. Besides that, the teachers varied quite a bit on how engaged they will be in the lessons, probably very dependent on how good the teacher's English is. In France, primary school teachers have to teach a foreign language just like they teach math and French. However, they aren't given much preparation so the levels of the students vary a lot depending on who they've had in the past. And my day ends with the youngest kids so I'll have to keep up the high energy but it will be fun to end each Monday with songs. Tomorrow afternoon I will work in the school of a neighboring town.

Hey why come the water in New York Harbor isn't that color?
Don't worry about the teachers, they will come around when they see how great you are and what you can do to help them. For most teachers, especially primary teachers, change is hard!! But when they do come to you, you will have something they want and they will be much more cooperative, so just be frindly and open with them and offer suggestions, but don't feel hurt when they don't accept them right away. They'll find out how you can help them and then you won't be able to get them off your back.
