Have decided to record different events as they happen. Not sure if I have the energy; there would have been a time.
Went into work and got ready for teaching at the College (High School) where I work. Lots of kids didn't show up which the other teacher and I were suspecting. Hard to get the kids talking. Many shy disengaged kids. Anyway - a couple of bright spots and ... somehow we got through the day.
Kids talking about a big fight after school. Seems like it will be continuing again after school today although I heard that the school hasstrategized to stop it happening. Bloods and cribs. So much violence just simmers around the community. Exacerbated by poverty ...
Discovered during in the course of the day -- most of these kids did not do jobs/chores and almost all of them were given phones by their parents and had their phone on-going charges paid for by their parents. Hard to reconcile as few famillies pay subject and school fees.
