I've always thought Turkish schools were a bit disorganized or loose with their order. But new school, an international school, I fear is worse. I brought my 3rd period kids down to the performance hall to practice, left them with the music teacher and took her class downstairs. Her class was ten minutes late because they were taking a math exam.
Our ceremony was postponed because the high school ceremony was running late. Our ceremony ran into the elementary school's time and the elementary school parents RAN INTO our ceremony because they wanted good seats.
Our principal - to her credit - didn't freak out. I'm sure she was on the inside - there are so many things that Turks do that drive Type A Americans crazy. But she couldn't control it, and let much go.
The ceremony went way into lunch period, lunch period went way into 8th period, the time in between was hallways and outdoors unmonitored because teachers were in classes or eating or unsure where they were supposed to be.
and that was our children's day celebration
