One of my major challenges is finding proper teachers for our school. All of the interviewees so far have been, let's say, a one out of ten. My favorite was the proud holder of an MA in English who was incapable of reading and explaining to me a page from Arthur and D.W. (that's what I happened to have handy).
We then struck the brilliant idea of visiting a local teachers' college and asking for the names of the top students. When I explained to the staff that I was seeking an excellent English speaker, I was told, "Madam, this is rural. Here we suffer from English."
So Funny, but it is probably a challenge for you.
ReplyDeleteFor home school, we meet with another family once a week and have a geography class called "Continent Club". We discuss different countries, their culture, traditions, food, native dress, etc. Well last week we studied India. I wore the Sari that my mother-in-law brought me from India and I showed all of the kids your blog. What a personal way to teach children about another country. Also, I hope it reminded them how blessed they are.
