The first day of school?

Just kidding… So the first day of school came, and went with no teachers around, the second well about 40 students showed up and the head master came through. So I asked what the deal was with us not starting yet and it was explained to me that the first week of school was usually a week the teachers and students all showed up and just registration was taken care of. So I shrugged, not wanting to try and change their ways and explain that the first day of school, classes should start, and walked down to the beach and read. On Wednesday the headmaster and one other teacher decided that they should start the classes and asked me to teach the 7^th and 8^th graders. I agreed as long as it was just for the week and they assured me it would be. So I made all the students draw a name tag and on the backside try to cover the page in everything they could remember learning last year, turns out, not much at all. Apparently they’d lost everything they knew over the course of two months, or were just too scared of me to write any answers down haha. Thursday I showed up ready to give them some small assesment tests to find that no teachers were there. At about 10am, two hours after school should have started, a parent came in to the school and told me that there was going to be a community meeting so the teachers werent coming in to school today. So I sent all 140 students home and told them no school for the day. Apparently in this country a PTA meeting warrants a day off school. Friday came through and I went down again at 7:30. By 9 o clock the first teacher came through and let me know that there wouldn’t be any school today due to the cyclone that was located north east of Maewo. So school didn’t start on the first day of school, or even the first week, and since Monday is a public holiday... Well as it turns out, school officially started March 1st! a whole two weeks and one day late. We're still missing a grade 1 and 2 teacher and the school's french teacher, but atleast the rest of the students are given something to do now! Haha
