And it's exam week again!
There are four exam periods here in Bénin: one at the beginning of December, one at the end of January, one in mid-March and one at the beginning of May. They're so close together that it's not possible to teach much between each exam!
Today, I was assigned one of the older year groups for their exam in Philosophy. They laughed in shock when I walked through the door - I guess they weren't expecting a white invigilator!! Fortunately they soon settled down and got on with their exam.
I had to tell them that if they get stuck on any of the four questions, I didn't study philosophy so I can't help them! Not to mention the fact that I barely understand the text and the questions...
This definitely beats teaching my horrible class at this school though! :-)
