So, today we visited a local tech high school, which focuses in getting students ready to enter the work force. Sort of like the Southeastern Career Center, but they also have traditional courses like biology, chemistry, foreign language. There were about 800 students grades 7 - 11 and it just happened to be their last day of school this year (they go back in February; this is their summer break) so there weren't a lot of classes in session. I did rat out a student using her cell phone, though. We teachers gotta stick together!
They had what I can only assume is their version if Field Day. But instead if playing dodgeball, they wrestled cows. Our guide called it a Costa Rican rodeo. It was nuts! The students would be dragged through the mud, the crowd was screaming, and of course it is raining buckets the whole time. Utter insanity but very, very exciting and fun!
We have some classes and meetings this afternoon followed by a BBQ with some local teachers, so a pretty quiet afternoon in store for me. Going to go get a cappuccino!
Why did you rat her out for using her cell phone??!! Do you have any more pictures of cow wrestling?
