Back in School…

Well, we’re back in school now. Feels good to see all of the brothers. Lots of smiles, hand shakes, hugs, and catching up.

So far they havent said anything to us about work yet. I’m not complaining.

I suspect that we’ll cruise through this week, then we’ll get on the grind.

But for now……just enjoying the atmosphere.

Our work ours are soo cool 9am-1pm. Better enjoy it while it lasts.

Swine Flu and You update

This is an update, for those muhaajiroon looking to come to Kuwait during the summer months or school year.

The Ministries of Information and Interior respectively, have decided to delay the opening of nurseries (Kindergarden/headstart-ish), and schools for children with special needs until the 3rd week in November.

Some of the normal schools will open later near the end of Sept.  possibly because Ramadan will still be in full swing. Some schools have decided to open after the Eid holiday (YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY).

However, if you’re a teacher (insert sad face with tears here), you must report on time, but there will be no students.

This leaves you plenty of time for administration to come up with idealistic ideas on class room improvement, admin. paperwork in all its various forms, and beautiful ideas that have probably been thought of and already agreed upon for implementation while you were on vacation, but havent taken into consideration your present work-load with all of the time demands that are associated with that, not to mention being under resourced both in materials and manpower.

These little cutesy ideas are commonly referred to as …..dare I say it…..”Work Shops” (Insert Psycho Scream here).

More on that maybe, just getting my “Venting ” muscles in shape.
