Today was Women's Day, so the middle school held a sort-of celebration on the playground....they exercised to fun, rousing music and spoke in English. Aren't they adorable?
Just in the park area, I counted 16 grandparents with their grandchildren. They tend the children while the parents work...not a bad arrangement. According to the richest woman in China, that is how Chinese women can afford to work; they have free day care in the grandparents, who are delighted to be so involved in their one grandchild's life.
After a 15 minute walk, here we are in the classroom the first day. Eager students, ready to get to work.And, those are just a few of the wonderful people in the neighborhood.
Our neighborhood is full of retired people and heck, we only have 12 kids in the whole Primary.
ReplyDeleteAre the grade, jr & high schools as cold as the university? Is it getting warmer there yet?
