Teaching at Primary School
Today I spent the morning teaching English to the level two students at the primary school. At times it can be very frustrating trying to keep all the students in order, but I don't hit the kids with a stick, like some of the other teachers do, I just tell them I won't teach them unless they be quiet and behave. Some of the kids in the class are very good at speaking english, because they have been speaking it since they were born, but others just started learning english this year, and struggle very much with understanding the lessons. As I was walking back to Elie's house for lunch today, a man stopped me, and asked if I was related to Jesus. I thought the man had to be kidding, but he said it with a completely straight face. I think I'm well overdue for a haircut, and in desperate need of a clean shave. This afternoon, I'm taking Elie and his kids to a swimming pool close by, and teaching them how to swim. I'll keep them in the shallow end, so nobody drowns!
