SCHOOLS AND EDUCATION

I continually hear that that schools in Mexico are not good, that many teachers are not qualified as they either inherited there position from a relative or bought it. I know the teacher union is very strong here which could give credibility to some of the stories. But last Saturday evening at the plaza there were wonderful displays by the local school children, displays of history, geography, science, engineering and technology. My Spanish is limited but I was able to enjoy the poster type displays as I could read them, but when the kids wanted to share their knowledge with me my vocabulary just isn’t there yet. One young lady was kind enough to explain about the great women of her region in English and her English while halting was very good.

I think the secondary schools must be small and scattered all through town as I see kids in different school uniforms heading all different directions as I make my way to the pool.I like the look of school kids in uniforms, they are always so neat and tidy.  Just click on a picture to enlarge it.

I'm a traveler, not as frequently as I would like , but I plan on doing more. After working full time at Mount Rainier National Park during the summer of 22 I have decided to retire completely and forever. Prior to that I was semi retired as a Wedding Officiant I officiated at about 20 weddings a season, and with my small delivery service I handled the distribution of a local high-quality Home and Garden magazine . Prior to my "semi retirement" I was in corrections and before that I owned and operated a bail bond agency. I now plan to travel to new places and exciting places, getting ready to do that as a solo as the Senior is no longer with me, his choice, and I am OK with that. For hobbies I'm a reader and love my kindle. And I enjoy writing. View all posts by zihuathyme
