FINALLY my local Board of Education primary school English person is going to do something about one of my teachers not coming to the party ... I guess Ministry of Education + key performance indicators did the trick. Plus, my zone manager said he'd visit the school next week. Never mind that I bought this issue up a month or so ago.
I spoke to one of my teachers yesterday, she hadn't heard of the latest craziness from the government/MOE about how to identify if a child is gay/lesbian (obviously transgender doesn't exist) - the telltale signs are fondness of tight, v-necked teeshirts and handbags = gay and fondness for female company = lesbian. Never
fuckingmind that girls/women spending time with each other is culturally appropriate for most of Asia! ARSEHATS!!!! But, at least this teacher (Muslim) rolled her eyes and said "aren't there more important things to worry about" and "they want girls to be spending all their time with boys is it?" She's a pretty cool teacher actually and have spent some time out of school with her.
And onwards ... today is Friday, classes won't start on time because of morning prayers in the "standard" public schools - never mind children and staff who aren't Muslim.
