Inspiration of the Week

Great Things Seen & Heard   

• We welcome WE, who officially joined our staff to work in ESP as an EA! Welcome aboard!
• When a student was told she could not bring her cellphone with her when she went to an isolation room for an exam, the student said that there was no point in going then and sat down in the class to write the exam!
• The next exam, the same student tried to give the teacher a friend’s phone before heading off to the isolation room with her own phone!
• Written by a student for an assignment: “the other 15% of people are going a full day without eating men women and children!” Commas save lives!”
