Day 4 - Teaching in the School System

First off, there are 600 students and four teachers. You can do the math. Session one runs from 7 AM through 11 AM. Session two runs from 1 pm through 5 pm. We volunteered in the morning to save the afternoon for the orphanage. There was actual construction in each classroom including hammering and drilling so teaching is difficult. The philosophy is to teach English so that students can work in the tourism industry on the Roatan Island. Otherwise they are likely to work in the fields or in construction. Each morning we would pass dumptrucks filled with men heading to work in manual labor. Nick is quite the hit with the kids though I have them learning "This Land is Your Land" by days end.
