Abukloi School: We Can South Sudan!

We have not posted anything for awhile because we have had computer issues. We did register and test more students last Thursday and Friday. Today they came to receive their exams back, review the class rules, and do a writing assignment. Below are our rules: Classroom Rules Turn off cell phones. No one boy with one girl together. Fighting will result in 2 weeks out of school. Raise your hand to speak. Be on time or you cannot attend school that day. If you are absent bring a letter of excuse. Students only are allowed on the school property (no family or friends). Do not copy other student’s work. Everyone will get 3 pens (blue, black, red). Pens will stay at school, not taken home except one pen for homework. New pens will be given when the ink is empty. Exercise Books will be given to each student. When every page is full a new book will be given. A timetable will be developed for cleaning and slashing. Every student will help. Quizzes will be given often and tests will be given about every two weeks. Students will bring their own cups for drinking. Students will practice good personal hygiene including shaving, clean clothes, and bathing. No braids are allowed. Students will wash hands after using the bathroom. When in the compound speak English only. You might be interested to know that "slashers" are like scickles. We have 3 of them and students use them to cut the grass around the school and a path from the gate. Can you imagine giving high school students sharp objects and telling them to go out and use them?? Thanks for your prayers.
