We have many, many meetings, and I feel like Figaro. I'm scribbling away notes all the time, and when ideas come, they come not single spies, but in battalions. My dear students, beware!
The Carlos Rosario International School is a charter school, which is not so easy to translate. A charter school is a government - sponsored school that teaches would-be US citizens. We attended a few classes. Most of all, I liked a citizenship class. People there are so enthusiastic! I wish Russia's government could provide such classes for those immigrants whose sole desire is to become a Russian citizen.
The school is driven by the wonderful Dr. Hugo Galindo, a man with inexhaustible supply of energy. (He is with the Russia's flag. And our helpful coordinator Michael Melitonov, the gray-bearded guy, is right behind me.)
They have a flag (and a clock, and a TV set, a few other things) in each class. If it doesn't instill patriotism, what does? I saw flocks of kids visiting American war memorials. When and how does homeland begin? With a flag in a classroom, maybe.
