We knew we liked Older Dreadful Creature's (ODC) teacher when she rugby tackled a little Irish boy who, not quite ready to leave the cocoon, was running crying after his parents. She was still restraining him when we left the classroom--fantastic! Eggs are meant to be coddled in Europe, but not children. We had also wanted a bit of cultural diversity for ODC and boy we got it--I thought I had wandered into a United Nations Peace Conference when I walked into the classroom. Further investigation required, but my guess is our ODC and the little Irish boy are the only native English speakers--that's inner city Ireland 2008. No automated bell system but rather a nun walking the halls with a hand bell. Anyway, ODC loved her first day!
