school

Alors, salut Octobre.
The sun is still shining and it is still very warm (until about 7pm when it becomes very cold). This place is amazing. With that and Sarkozy's promise that no one will lose a centime in the credit crunch I may transfer all my savings and stay here!

School started on Monday.I teach 14 classes, which works out to just over 12 hours. Mostly the children are fantastic - tres sage. Some are total chatterboxes and I get to frappe les sur les tetes if they misbehave. It's great. One of my schools is very advantaged and the kids don't understand "no" - I don't think they've ever heard their parents saying it to them. Another school I swear the children don't have bums - they find it very difficult to sit down!! the other 2 are great though and I have some 9-11 year olds who are so eager to learn - I introduced subordinate clauses to them! I love it :)

Plus I only work 3 days a week...can't really complain about that...
