Another long day of oral tests here today, I’m heading over to Trapani in Western Sicily now.
I spent all of yesterday testing in a private school here in Palermo.Lots of small children!
The disparities in level of English amongst them was incredible,as many students in that school have at least one English speaking parent.
It must be very tough for their teachers to work with… you have some students in the class who barely know more than a few colours and numbers at 5 or 6 years old, and others who are basically fluent in English.
There was a computational tool I wanted to use. I downloaded the source code, but it was buggy (seriously, people 🙄). Then I fixed it, but I had to install this and that. I did it and managed to make it run… except, it doesn’t do what I want 😞 so, I just ditched everything.
Well, okay, it was just half a day. It is like that sometimes.
I saw a news clip where Zelenskyy was wearing kind of a suit (at least not his usual military attire). I hope the idiot Vance didn’t get under his skin.
