| The teachers and I |
Over the past few days we've visited a "cram" school (补习班) called New Oriental Education. This kind of school is common in China apparently- parents send their kids to these schools when not in actual school so they can practice and further their studies be it math, English, or anything they need to practice.
The first day was volunteering helping with educational games for the younger kids which sounded easy enough. When the kid comes in say something in English and cross off that they've played our game and send them on their way to play it.
Yeah haha no
The door explodes with kids and all I can get out of them in the split second I saw them was "Hello!" "Hi!" and "Thank you!"as I frantically scratch off where they were to play this game. The bravest kids would ask "What's your name?" and "Where are you from?" while it was a struggle to get a "hi" out of the shyest ones. Before long the kids were literally squeezed into the room and Jack had to hold his arms out to hold them back and stop them from flooding the room.
In about an hour and a half it was all over and I got some pictures with the teachers.
