We had a Guatemalan start to the day. The guy who had the key to open our teaching house was 30 minutes late. Dave and Ursula saved the day by getting the kids to sit down along the wall, and taught some English. It's so different than schools in Canada. Teachers here are definitely not as structured, as accountable, or as concerned about making the most of every minute.

I think North America (and maybe Europe) are the only places that are really concerned about time. In some ways it's a beautiful thing, and in other ways it drives me crazy. At least Guatemala doesn't shut down for prayer 5 times a day!
Wait a second, is Ursula wearing a sweatshirt?!!
And the kids are patiently waiting and excited to start learning...what a novelty! In Canada, they'd all be talking about the 5 minute rule - no teacher in 5 the class is cancelled. Way to make good use of the time and brains! :)
Yes, it's a sweatshirt - it's cold in the mornings, believe it or not. :)
