Cats and Miss.

Cats and Miss.
School's been back for three weeks now. I've met all my classes, and there's everything from sweetness and light to ear-splitting caterwauling in there. These are some photos of my school. Right at the top is the tropical almond (Terminalia Catappa, if...

The beginning of the end: my last back-to-school rush in Mayotte.

The beginning of the end: my last back-to-school rush in Mayotte.
School started again on August 25th. In Mayotte, the teaching profession has one of the highest turnovers I've ever seen. This year, only three new colleagues joined the English-teaching ranks in my school. Two had been teaching in various lycées before...

Look at the makis!

Look at the makis!
I teach kids in school, but I also teach adults in a training centre about half an hour away. My current groups belong to a local construction society, so we spend hours talking about excavators, compactors, bulldozers, the difference between a Manitou...

Cyclone Alert

Cyclone Alert
Last week, we had a cyclone exercise at school. Much more interesting than your average fire drill, where everyone just lines up under the big tree in the playground, and not as awkward as the earthquake simulation, where they all have to fit under the...

Striking Teachers.

Striking Teachers.
Before the school holidays, the French authorities started talking about their civil servants. Specifically the civil servants working overseas. As you already know, all French civil servants receive bonuses for working in the French overseas territories...

Parent-Teacher Meeting

Parent-Teacher Meeting
It was National Parent-Teacher Meeting Day on Saturday. You can thank the Vice-Rectorate for that. What a mess. It started off innocently enough. Instead of each school organizing its own PT meeting, the high education authority in Mayotte decided to...

A European In Mayotte

A European In Mayotte
In my opinion, healthy food is the best. I don't think junk food is better, because it's too fatty and unhealthy. Personally, I like healthy food because it's full of vitamins, it's more natural. I wouldn't say it's the cheapest or quickest but nevertheless,...

Scientific Minds

Scientific Minds
I've been teaching English to an adult student for about a year and a half now. He's the director of the local branch of an international building and public works company. He has individual lessons twice a week with me, so he's been teaching me all about...

Here we go again.

Here we go again.
School's back. Again. The yearly rush of pupils who have been hanging around the school doors for a good week now, staying outside all day and convincing their parents that classes had already started up, thereby getting out of working in the fields and...

When in Spain...

When in Spain...
I went to Madrid during the half-term holidays to visit P, who was transferred there for his job last December. I'd never been to the capital city before, so that was a very interesting experience. On top of trying to speak Spanish, I learnt a few things...
