Exams This Week, Lord Help Me!

So once again

It is THAT time...

The time

That stresses every teacher out

(I know I'm not alone in this!)

Exams...

To be precise...

Mid-Term Exams...

While going through

Some cirriculum

From here...

I discovered something

That pretty much 

Epitomizes...

The Ugandan take

On schooling here...

If you note

Under the badge

It says

"School is God"

Yep...

I found it

In the curriculum

A lot of people here

Think school is

The beginning and end 

Of all...

Please be praying

For the children

The school system here

Puts HUGE priority

On passing exams

So the way they go about that

Is by having the kids just

Memorize

The things the teachers know

Will be on the test...

Contrary to that

We have been teaching the kids

The actual facts

And making sure they understand

Each thing they are taught...

As a result

Sometimes our kids get discouraged

If they can't answer

Every one of the questions

Even though some of them

Are far to advanced

For a 6 or 7 year old...

Please be praying

That the McCourtney children

Would be a light

As they go for testing

That they wouldn't become discouraged

But would know that

Everything that they do

Is "unto the Lord"

And

That their teacher

Would have peace

That only comes from the Lord!

:)

Blessings all!
