Our host mother and her school
This is a picture of our host mother Tiffany. She is a lady that looks to be about 75 lbs and in a state of perpetual motion. She is something like a director of students a the local elementary school and confided in us that she probably could be a principal of a school, if she was willing to move, but she likes living so close to the school.
She has three children. A daughter who we have met, and is currently taking her college in trance exams, another daughter and a son, who she seems to drive around all over the place. She also has a husband, but we have not met him yet. She said today that he is shy to meet us because he doesn't speak English.
She took us to her school and gave us the grand tour. It's a huge building, with something like 1,500 students, about 30 students to the room. It was the last day of school for her class and most of the classes were working quietly at their desks coloring and watching a cartoon that was being shown on the class's TV.
We didn't really get to seem much of what real classroom activity would look like because from personal experience, I don't want anyone to base my classroom off my last day of school, and i'm not going to do it for that school either.
I was a little disappointed that we didn't get to see any classes in full swing, but there isn't anything to be done about that.
