Tutoring at Napa - Saturday, May 12, 2007
Or lack thereof. Recently Bobbie Yook from CCAC announced that for three consecutive Saturdays, starting last week, volunteers were needed to teach English to ESL students at Napa Elementary School, which is a two minute drive from CCAC. She said that normally school volunteers need to have been tested for tuberculosis (why that and only that particular disease is beyond me), but since the program has a short duration, the school was waiving the requirement.
So Priscilla and I showed up at the school at 9am, expecting to tutoring kids until 12:30. We spoke with the principal, who kindly informed us that we had been misinformed, and that we could not help out because we have not been tested. But she did say that she could make some phone calls and pull some strings and hopefully let us come back next Saturday.
So instead of selflessly tutoring struggling kids for three and a half hours, Priscilla and I went back to her place and watched eight episodes of Meteor Garden. Gee whiz.
