Teaching







I thought I should share a bit of what Muangchaliang school is like. The school has grades 7-12 and all students start the day at an all school assembly at 8:00. All sit outside for the flag raising and sing the national anthem and school song. After that there are announcements. Somedays awards are given. Sometimes discipline is given. Sometimes some of the students stay and do exercises. All students wear school uniforms. On Monday, teachers wear uniforms.
The school consists of many buildings, so student travel between buildings for different classes. Class sizes range from 40-45 students.
We did presentations to four classes per day Tuesday-Friday and will be again on Monday. The older students understand English fairly well, but some of the younger students have that deer in the headlights look. They enjoy the pictures though, especially the ones about winter.
