Capital Normal University High School Visit

We spent most of the day at Capital Normal University High School where we talked to students, staff and the principal. It was a great visit and the students asked some interesting questions. I really enjoyed the tour and talking to the students and staff. Students have a long day as school starts at 7:30 a.m. and ends at 4:45 p.m.  They usually have two to three hours of homework.

It was so nice to see a warm welcome to the Northland Pines school District in Beijing, China

Students listening to my presentation. Note the student uniforms. This was a public school.

After my presentation, the students were so eager to learn about American Education. This was an English class 

Hot lunch

I liked this picture because one student was using chopsticks and the other a spoon

Late afternoon we met with a reporter for a Chinese magazine and had a great discussion about education.

After we finished the interview, we toured the Summer Palace. It was an unbelievable sight. See the link for a brief history lesson.
