Inspection

Today my English class was unexpectedly visited by a state inspector from Switzerland!!! Very stressful with my precocious, loving to say inappropriate and shocking things, students. During the time that he was there one student asked what a virgin was and they also had a short lived discussion of suicide bombers blowing themselves up and being perceived as heroes. All from the simple question: In current society, who do we consider to be heroes. Nothing is ever an innocent avenue for discussion with these kids. At least the lighter incident happened before he showed up!

It actually wasn´t that bad. He was a nice guy and quite interested in how the school works - what we do.

And - in other news - our new Piaggio (don't worry - before we actually received or payed for it) was found mutilated on the bottom of the Dreisam River. Hence no new roller for us. Aw well. Jan still wants to buy one, but now I am a bit disheartened.
