Advice from my Students

Since I wrote last, a few things have changed. :) We moved to Sioux City, IA in September and were fortunate enough to both start jobs. I'm still teaching ESL, and Dave is using food science. So far so good! We are signed up for the foster care orientation here on Nov. 11! Horah!

During one class, students brainstormed about rules they had growing up. It was funny for us all to realize we had a lot of the same rules regardless of growing up at different times and different countries. Here they are:
1. Don't come home late.
2. Don't talk with strange people (hehe, or strangers).
3. Don't run inside.
4. Do your homework before you go out.
5. Don't go out by yourself.
6. Don't get into fights.
7. Look when you cross the street.
8. Go to bed at 9.
9. Wash your hands before eating and after using the bathroom.
10. Don't interrupt when people are talking.
11. Don't talk back.
12. Brush your teeth before bed.
13. Don't play with matches or fire.
14. Don't go too far away on your bike.
