i highly question the efficiency of the program i am on. Due to the lack of control that the teachers have over the students, i feel it is very difficult for me to help with anything.the teachnig system here seems so inefficient. the students do not get penalized for ANYTHING. the only thing that determines their grades are tests. so homework doesnt matter, behavior, participation, or homework dont count. if they dont do their homework the teacher just yells at them, or puts them on time out. very minimal punishments that the kids could care less about. I think that having homework count towards their grade is very imporant to keep them trying and learning throughout the term.
the 1st graders were a total disaster today. i´m feeling very frustrated because i really want to help, i want to teach them, but i dont know how to under these circumstances. but dad, i aquired 2 more childrens paintings. i will scan the 4 that i have now and send them to you, it´ll be great for rembrandt in the attic!
love and miss you all and i really wish i were with ANYONE from back home right now cuz i´m feeling very flustered. also, its definitely that hormonal-emotional time of the month.
love and miss you all

Haha that seems pretty much like here! You thought the american teaching system was unefficient? Here it works kind of the same way you describe... But it also depends a lot on the school... And the school you are teaching in is one of low resources and not one of the best ones I guess.
