On Tuesday I visited Genee’s school, and watched as she gave a lesson to the kids. It was miles better than the ridiculous rote memorization that their normal teacher relies on. I witnessed some of it and could hardly stop myself from laughing as she rapid fire style ‘taught’ them: “u-p, ‘up’, u-s, ‘us’, a-t, ‘at’, i-n, ‘een’, i-t, eet” etc. She was going so fast that none of the kids would have any chance to understand what she was spelling, and even I couldn’t follow all of it. But the kids were suitably talented as parrots so all was well. After Genee taught for a while we went outside and blew bubbles for them, which made them all go clinically insane.
After work we went to the airport as Genee’s flight was to leave at 1am the following morning. There was some hope that she could stay for a couple extra days as the flight was overbooked, but unfortunately there were some no-shows so she had to leave as scheduled. Thank goodness for Skype.
