6/4/14
Today, a usually somber and quiet household in the mornings
as I eat my breakfast alone, turned into a hectic scramble for everyone to get
ready. Today is the first day of school
for my tica sisters, and all other public school students, after a five week
teacher strike here in Costa Rica. My 8
year old tica sister is so excited to return to school as I can see most
children here in CR are. My 14 year old tica sister was worried about how she looked for school (typical teen girl).
I do not know
all of the details as to why the teachers ended the strike. Two weeks ago, the government tried to offer
them some of the owed money and the teachers would not take a partial
amount. That being said, I do not know
the specific details, just simply that today, schools are back in session across
Costa Rica.
