I know what you mean... we have the same i...Hi Amy,<br />I know what you mean... we have the same issues here wanting our kids to have good opportunity to learn Mongolian. We tried to enroll wes two years ago. It was similar to what you are saying-- not a lot of value to the time! <br />It was in a yurt(ger) and the morning consisted of eating, bread and drinking tea while sitting quietly. Followed by hand washing and teeth brushing. Then some play time and maybe a song. Then play outside time! They were mean to the children and I actually saw a teacher throw a two year old on the ground and mock them! Needless to say it lasted less than 3 days! <br />So... they just play outside with the neighborhood kids and learn what they can in that way! We'll see how that turns out. :)<br /><br />Hang in there! You'll make the right choice. Maybe the young teacher will grow and change with training. That would be so great. It is good to see her heart is in the right place and she is kind-if not very interesting!;)Tundra Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16660898933181229263noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5118517190489901866.post-57048486511797297612009-09-04T00:37:35.110+03:002009-09-04T00:37:35.110+03:00We have the zombie kids here, too, but they're...We have the zombie kids here, too, but they're usually sitting in front of some sort of flashing screen. I do think four hours of sitting is a bit much for any healthy 4yo.jibberishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16257465540183457986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5118517190489901866.post-82142095423960683922009-09-03T07:13:38.515+03:002009-09-03T07:13:38.515+03:00Yeah, I used to be impressed too, Amanda.

Of course little children need self-control, but I think in the case of these kids, it's the total lack of stimulation that makes them sit still for so long. They are kind of like zombies sometimes. I think I will be picking Grace up early on the days I take her, because it's just too long! She did great yesterday, but I have a feeling after a few days of that, she'll have a harder time!Amy Medinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02445986974714298954noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5118517190489901866.post-77913167335272600702009-09-03T04:34:39.172+03:002009-09-03T04:34:39.172+03:00I'm just impressed they can get a bunch of fou...I'm just impressed they can get a bunch of four-year-olds to sit still that long. That definitely wouldn't fly here in the States!jibberishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16257465540183457986noreply@blogger.com
