- Our teachers frequently call us names (mostly Eleanor's teachers, but sometimes my teachers call us names too)
- For Religion class we learn about Catholicism (and we visited a church today)
- The finger wagging just means that I don't agree
- During Christmas, there are many more nativities than there are Santas
- I can't get the point of a drive-thru nativity across to my friends here (wait. You stay IN your cars?) and here the nativity itself will go through town.
- People will stop their cars in the middle of the street (traffic piling up behind them) and go into shops or have a conversation
- The shopkeepers can tell you what people want for Christmas-- and be correct, since they know everyone!

Please! An example! What are some of the names the teachers call you? Chicken feathers?

ReplyDeletethey also give 3s as punishment... not to mention one teacher of mine who hands out lines for things like not bringing the right kind of pencil(2H) or squares. She also hands out lines for misbehavior. Generally, she hands them out in the hundreds-her favorite numbers of lines are 400 and 600-due next week. one time she gave a kid 1500.
