From the very beginning we have had two big challenges in both classes--sleeping students and distracting cell phones. Many students LOVE to use their cell phones to play video games and to chat. Jean has very actively patrolled around the classroom, having students put their phones away and pay attention. The sleeping problem is due to students staying up until the wee hours of the morning and not getting enough sleep. Our son Josh suggested we try something that one of his professors does--have students put their phones in a pocket holder (like a shoe holder) at the back of the room, so they won't be tempted to look at them. We have seen a big improvement in class attention since trying this.
Here is Rod sitting at his workspace in Lilian's office.
Also a couple more school cafeteria photos. We use chopsticks and a soup spoon. So far, we have been able to do that. Today we had a scrambled egg and tomato dish, plus some garlic cucumbers, rice, some chicken, and soup.
