Vive La République! Vive La France!

A 11heures, je vois sur la chaine FranceInfo, le meeting de Marine LePen <<La France Qu'on M!>> Je comprends un moitié des phrases, surtout les phrases typiques des politiques. <<Nous sommes prets! Notre projet est ambitieux. Il est moderne, il est nationale, pour la France. Avec un état protecteur. Des prédateurs en bas, comme les prédateur en haut! Nos filieres en peril. C'est vous que payer la fraude! Une immigration anarchique. A l'étranger que vient de nous, respecter nos lois! Le peuple francais est un peuple généreux et amicale, mais c'est en eux de décide qui peut rester, que peut etre francais. ... Nous voulons un France en paix. Nous en avons le courage, la volonté. Notre économie sera protégé, enfin. Des choix philosophiques. Avec nous, léconomie restera au service des gens. Les couts de confinements, la politique sanitaire, cette pénurie appliqué sur nos société. Qui a justifié la désolation sociale? La France est pour tous les Francais! Ce projet sur la grande politique maritime. Il faut faire des choix. A conquérir des nouveaux marchés. Le bonheur des francais. Cést une France fraternelle, qui sait que l'avenir, qui jamais abandonne des enfants. Rapellez-vous! Le pouvoir de l'achat c'est le grand question d'aujourd'hui. Qu'importe la gauche, qu'importe la droite, l'importance, c'est la France! L'indivisibilité de la république! La mobilisation! Lorsque le pays va vers l'abime... Nous allons gagné! L'avenir est dans vos mains. Vive la république! Vive la France!>>

Where we are working now

ISG Jubail School is the Anglo-American school for this area: Jubail is one of two planned industrial cities in Saudi Arabia, given a special royal commission for development and planning. Our district, the seven schools of International Schools Group, runs the school in the other industrial city -- Yanbu -- as well. Jubail is on the east coast, between Dhahran and Kuwait. Our nearby "big city" is the tri-city metropolis of Dhahran-Khobar-Dammam, where all the big shopping malls and quaint old markets are, along with the central 3 schools of our district, where Coleman attends high school. ISG Jubail has 410 students -- an average of 2 homerooms for each grade, K-10. Class size varies, up to 22. I have 12 in my required course "Computers & Information Management"; Barb has 12 students in her first-grade class. Most of the teaching staff come from the U.S., some from the Commonwealth. Several teachers are wives of engineers an...

Riding the Bus often

From 201010 Saudi scenes It is ironic that this land of cheap gasoline has so much group transport -- buses. From 201010 Saudi scenes Our housing compound has a Toyota-Coaster bus that takes some to/from school (we usually go earlier and return later, on a similar bus that the school provides). Driver Yahya takes residents on the 90-minute trip down to the Big City shopping every Thursday morning. The above picture shows our group one Thursday, usually going to Ikea or the new Lulu's Hypermarket , or the Dhahran Mall. Coleman rides a different bus every day to and from school -- usually 100 minutes there, 80 minutes back. His bus is evidently an old tourist bus, usually comfortable but a bit dusty. The air-conditioning usually works too well. I've ridden it with him several times, to attend business meetings at the district office. From 201010 Saudi scenes There he is, at 5:45am every morning, at the start of the bus run. Fortunately only about 20 stu...

Reservoir of European Youth, Parliament

A few days ago I walked to the nearby Pasteleira Park, planning to visit the city museum at the Reservoir. Walking through the park I noticed a large group of young people gathered in a circle, engaged in team-building activities. My days in education attuned me to the spectacle and piqued my interest, so I sat on a nearby bench and watched as a succession of enthusiastic students ran to the center and started an activity, which all the others joined enthusiastically. What sort of group would this be? A typical high school class would include a portion of disinterested teens, and others only half-heartedly participating. This crowd was unanimous in their excitement. I also noted that the leaders were speaking in English, though the breeze muffled the words. I walked around, found a couple of older participants on the side, with official-looking lanyards, and asked: this was an activity of European Youth Parliament , simil...
