School farewell

by rc

I taught various age groups in 2 different rural schools near Siem Reap, Cambodia. Each class had its own way of saying farewell. I’ll sure miss these guys!

Youngest class (4-11 year olds): energetic way 

We went out onto the field and played a violent version of tag. The students jumped all over us.

Middle class (11-16 year olds): symbolic way

The girls in the class made me a bracelet on my first day of teaching. On the final day they saw that it was still on my wrist and then tightened the strings, making sure it stayed there.

Older class (16-20 year olds): written way

This class has good command of the English language and thoughtfully gave me a photocard.

Teaching isn’t a walk in the park, but the rewards sure are great!
