What a way to make a living!
... English teacher that these kids have seen! The resources we do have: a piece of slate painted black, chalk and a piece of sponge. It has been a challenge learning to write on these boards! We do have textbooks but they are, in my opinion, flawed, so I’ve been avoiding them. One brilliant thing about both Lycee and CEM is the staff. The other teachers have been so welcoming and are so eager for us to get involved – they feel like family now! One teacher has ...
