So this week was rough in getting in contact with the few people I had emailed, facebooked, and set letters to. Due to some family circumstances, I have not been able to be by a computer. I received an email that was more of a generic letter from a school in Ireland, stating that they are glad to hear from me and would like to hear more. I am waiting on them to send more information. I probably wont hear from anyone directly. I have also recently got in contact with an old friend from high school who was teaching in a international school. I hope to spend more time talking to him about his experiences. He said he was out of town for a few days but when he gets back he will contact me.
This week I went to SAVE the CHILDREN website. I found a blog that really interested me. The blog post title was called "Why Primary Education Matters" by Martine De Luna. She stated that 57 million children globally don't go to school. She says that the children at her school are grateful for the fact that they get to go to school even though they have to walk through mud and swim the river to go to school. She makes the connection between literacy and poverty. I found that most interesting. I am looking into finding research to see what other professionals are saying and learning.
