week 6

As you can see, it becoming to familiar. We begin our session in morning at 9am then finish around 4:30pm for school and for colleges around 6pm. Travelling through three different schools and colleges a day, is taking a lot effect on us. Especial, in the heat when the sun is at its highest around 1pm. I've notice that everyday the weather has been changing and it getting warmer by the week.

I will talk about the children in barbados, were they wear bandana in the heat, which has American flags on them. They are heavy influence by America, and some have their accent.  Driving in Barbados is good sometimes, it helps that they drive on the left side. At least they were using the common sense. But the engineering who decided to place markings on road puts it in odd places for the zebra crossing. When your on a roundabout, when you are just about to turn into a junction, there is zebra crossing. What were they thinking! Most Bajan who drive here, have a different approach to the road. No one hardly use their indicators, they do harsh breaking, no ridiculous breaking! Everything unpredictable.

You might want to know Bajan word term for football,
Goal Post - 'Goal bars'
A match - 'Scrimmage'
Flip flap- 'Spanner'
Cruyff turn- 'Chris cross' or 'The lock' I really don't understand that.
Relaxing around 'liming'
Kick ups they wouldn't understand the term, 'juggling'

This week their have been two fights. One from Princess Margaret, which wasn't a surprise, most of the kids in this session has issues and embody with behaviour problems. The other one was out of the blue, 'Community College'. As we were doing a session, five minutes left to the match(scrimmage); a teacher wanted us to acquaint a staff member of the college. This staff member rambling about his days as a footballer. In the process he was insulting a student of mine and cursing at the student. Then it escalated out of no where. Both student and teacher about to have a fist fight, we had help with other students on the campus restrain the teacher and student. Packing the equipments, my back turned away, the teacher pick up a stone or brick size of a football and the student defeating himself with a metal pipe. Crazy week!
