It was obvious that something was up at school this morning, even the teachers were dusting and cleaning. There was an air of excitement. My supervision said that an educational official was going to visit the school in relationship to the recent flood. She was due at 11:00 and I was assigned to teach the 5th grade beginning at 10:30.
About 11:10 as I was teaching the class;
"There was a student who went to Tacoma
Intending to earn a diploma
Who said 'because of the rain I cannot remain.
I think I prefer Oklahoma.'"
our distinguished visitor stopped at the door of my classroom. She asked if she could observe from the back of the room and of I course I said "Yes." She watched a little while with her large entourage and then they moved on.
Over lunch I learned that she is the Thai Minister of Education! She told the teachers she liked what I was doing. Perhaps my contract will be renewed. :)
