Two students. That's all for the next few years! I began teaching on Monday and I'm quickly learning that it's not the same as classroom teaching. With such a small class (I'm working one-on-one with each child at the moment), there is no room for any mistakes. In a class, it's easy to wing it and make stuff up as you go. Here, it's not so easy, everything is magnified. But, as in any school setting, the most important thing is that the kids are happy and eager to come to 'school', which has been achieved according to their mother. The beauty of having no curriculum constrictions is being able to go where the children's interests lie. The youngest is keen on learning about the ocean and the oldest, DNA. So, many trips to the beach and lots of scientific reading are coming up!
