We had a great first day at Pioneers American School. We spent the day in visiting high school classes, interviewing various staff members, and interviewing some students from the high school. In the pictures you will see the principal teaching a biology class and the high school students meeting with us. As you will recall, the school week for students in Egypt begins on Sunday and ends on Thursday. We spent a great deal of time working after school on the beginning of the report. I was able to walk about 3 miles late in the evening around the Palace grounds. It is beautiful at night. More later...

It seems strange, though normal to them, to have school on Sunday. They probably think the same of us having school on Fridays, huh!?!
ReplyDeleteInterestingly enough, Friday is their holy day (like our Sunday) so their work day (Our Saturday) is the same.
ReplyDeleteAre their shops opened all day on their holy day or do they open at 1:30???
