Teaching Beyond Borders


Well people...last week of school and I am MILES away from the school yard. I am here in Barbados, marking scripts for CAPE 2009 examinations. How did I end up here? Who knows...all I know is that I here and I getting paid! lol So far it is an exahausting process and well...some STAMINA is required! Scratch that. LOTS of stamina is required!!!

Day 1 of 14:
Amazing to interact with Jamaican, Guyanese, Antiguan, Bagan teachers. Knowing that hey - some kids write shit no matter WHAT country dey from. lol...dey give problems de same way...dey rude de same way and well...dey are the same. I realized that as a marker, you don't see colour, creed, nationality or anythin like that - just ink on paper - points to mark and piles to diminish.

Stay tuned...Day 2.
