Well thats it .. I had my 2 grade 6 classes today and thats my official teaching finished. I have exam covers now for the next week as well as a lot of upcoming marking. I had to sit tonight and write up a Recuperation Exam so if any kids fail the exam they get to sit the Recuperation exam a second chance so to speak. but to get ready for that they only have 4 days to study for it. (They've had 6 weeks to study for this one). In principal its a good idea.. but to be honest if they cant pass my exam with 6 weeks of study then they wont pass the resit one which has to be harder with 4 days.
I now really do feel that my time here is almost over its only just beginning to sink in. My lady in the Laundry said to me last time I was in to pick up some clothes "How much would I charge to teach her English" Now if she had asked me that 10 months ago I would have bitten her arm off if she would have taught me some spanish. But with 22 days left I had to say no.
Days are counting down, kids have already started on the "Sir do you have to go" and its hard to say yes - even though they must see a lot of International teachers over their time in school they still don't understand the conccept of staff moving on and seem to take it quite personally. It is true though one of the things I will miss most here are the kids who have been excellent in almost all ways. Sometimes they are still kids and act up but the majority of the time they are the nicest group of young people I have ever worked with, polite, caring, understanding and a credit to the families and upbringing they have had.
More tomorrow... as my thoughts wander more.
