Teaching here is challenging but so much fun! It is very rewarding
to watch my students grow! I just ran into the mother of my four year old at
the market the other day, and she said that her daughter Minnie is learning
four languages: Lao, Vietnamese, Thai, and English. After driving by the
elementary schools here, where students who are malnourished and lacking basic
hygiene attend classes in buildings with limited basic materials and in various
states of disrepair, I wonder, how can students in America help but learn? With
all of the support and resources our schools provide, it seems that it would
require a concerted effort NOT to demonstrate growth. Just my perspective from
the other side...
