Tales from Cow Country




Over the summer, we spent six weeks working as 'counsellors' in a school for foreign kids to learn English. Duties included; 3 hours of English per day, excursions, waking up and putting kids to bed, ensuring that they ate, stopping them from killing each other... you get the idea. It was the most exhausting job I have ever had. You are mother, father, teacher and friend to these little rich kids. A job made more difficult by the fact that most of them seem to lack all of thes things back home. It wasn't all bad, of course. The other teachers were great and lots of the kids were really good fun. It's not a smmer job I would sign up for lightly, but if your'e up for a challenge...
