Shanghai Gold Apple Bilingual School |
This is the building where I lived. It also houses the general offices, and the practice rooms (on the top floor - one above the foreign teachers floor - how lovely). |
One half of the classroom building. This half has 5 floors (the other has 4, but they are flush at the top - weird). One of my classrooms was on the top floor, the last big window on the right. |
A view of the football (soccer) field and the student apartments. (Yes, it is seven stories tall. The on-campus teachers live on the top floor.) The students live 8 to a room; the teachers live 4 to a room. The General Motors plant is in the background. |
I taught here at the Primary School with a few other Foreign teachers and a full staff of National teachers. And my kids...well...they were kids. What can I say? But we all survived the year! And I honestly hope I never forget these people. |
