Election 2008

Another late post...here's the file cabinet in Cheryl's classroom. One interesting thing about living overseas is the United States Presidential Election. You can post whatever you want in your classroom and no one is going to tell you not to advertise your political views. Cheryl had this Obama poster front and center in her classroom before the election and wore an Obama pin to school each day.
The day after the election, parents came to school and shook American teachers' hands to congratulate them on Obama's victory. So not okay in the US public schools, but hey - we're in Morocco.

That's kindof awesome. And weird, since we're at the epicenter of US politics over here. So cool that people are still talking about it in Morocco.

When we leave our country, we realize how important the US government is to the rest of the world. Just another reason to stop screwing it up over here!
