Last weekend Josh invited us to participate in the Living Library event at Guangya High School where he teaches. All of the international faculty, it seems, have multiple jobs, and one of his is teaching English at this high school which costs $15,000 for students who aren’t locally registered (maybe $5,000 for families with papers). The high school is focused on sending students abroad to university. The average student at Guangya scores 1900 on SAT’s (compared to the California average of 1500). We were asked to come speak to them about movies that inspire so they could practice their English. It was so fun. Even Henry got in on the action; though his parents are Chinese, they raised him in English which they consider to be his native language. Thanks to Josh who with his wife Kate and our other neighbors, Aurelio and Xinyu, have treated us like family (see photo of Josh and Aurelio below).
