Phew! What a long day! First stop: my son's piano class. Second stop: my son's art class. Third stop: to check out progress on the house we're building outside of Quito, near the new airport. Fourth stop: the pool for my husband and son; the beauty parlor for me. (Are they even called beauty parlors anymore? In Spanish, it's "peluqueria".) Fifth and sixth stops: to pick up a head lamp and rubber boots for my son's overnight school trip this week. And, finally, we're home. We left at 9:20 am and returned at 6:00 pm. Now, that's a long day! But, it's not over yet. My husband and I are going out on a date in a little while; it has been a busy week. Tomorrow breakfast at Café de la Vaca, and a hike to Cotopaxi National Park. Source: http://www.magical-ecuador.com/mini-trips/andes/Cotopaxi-National-Park.html I love the weekend!

This blog is a place to ruminate on the problems of teaching. If I am thinking thoughtfully, my posts will hopefully raise more questions than answers. By problematizing teaching we reflect on those questions that are constantly behind, in front, and at center of everything we do in the classroom. Feel free to comment. I'd love to hear what other teachers are thinking about on these and other issues. Cheers! Elisa
