School

The state of the education system here is, to be blunt, disgusting. Classes were set to begin last Monday.  Due to the hurricane, the President canceled classes.  This Monday, the school was going to open, but no, the teachers canceled class to have a meeting.  The government recently gave them a pay raise, and then cut their insurance.  Today, Tuesday, all of the children should be headed to school.  There were10-15 children who showed up.  My neighbor's children didn't go, she stated that today is Tuesday, the week is almost over, she'll send her girls on Monday, and plus they don't have new hair ribbons.

So, two weeks will have past before the teachers can start instructing the whole class.  If it rains (we are in the midst of hurricane season) nobody attends class.  If it's a holiday, they take the day before and the day after off too.

I am set to have an after school program to help those kids whose parents are illiterate with their homework.  Hopefully I can make a small difference.
