And, I agree with your dad, you do have the opportunity to be very influential in the lives of your students. Very exciting.Erin J-Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08748820439736338854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6977409755645751782.post-88536632359188977052010-09-21T15:38:04.579-07:002010-09-21T15:38:04.579-07:00What an exciting weekend and full of liesure activ...What an exciting weekend and full of liesure activity. The restaurant sounded like a great place even though no one was there (risky as we have learned in the past). <br /><br />Teaching will be a challenge but remember there is a reason they invited all of you to come to Georgia; they may need your skills to help educated their nations young minds. Remember they have to catch up and compete in the world market for economic gain and for the economic stability of their nation. All of you need to strategize how to be effective at bring about open discussions on improving the drop out rate (kids that give up are the same as drop outs). <br /><br />As you have noted you feel for these kids and that they aren't getting it at the beginning and then they fall farther behind as they get older. Sounds like some of the schools in US where they pass them forward to get them through the system. Worlds apart but yet the same issues in a different manner. Their childrens education is the furture of their nation and they know that; that is why they have all of you as guest to teach. Your challenge is to figure out how to be influential and make changes occur. What an exciting challenge.<br /><br />LYL, Dadbillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13431366699266996187noreply@blogger.com
