							| Hi I moved from wealthy Scotland (although no one there would agree with the wealthy bit) to rural South Africa.  Many classes are 80 children to a teacher and the only resources are a board and chalk plus some text books.  There are obviously some very well off schools and still some schools which meet under trees.  Photocopiers are not readily available but some of the very best teaching comes from interactive talk and chalk.  I think we often rely too much on modern inventions and although they provide us with a great richness to our work, we are skilled teachers are the best resource a school can have. I love South Afrcia with all of its problems.   Jenny (Nombasa) |  26 Nov 2010

							| I�d like to add a link to this:         It�s about a Masai teacher from the remote African desert, whose school with no electricity or plumbing  is surrounded by a thicket fence to keep lions out at night. The school gets no government funding.   Cheers   Jayho |  27 Nov 2010
