After dropping Seema at school, I worked for a bit and worried about, well a million things. But all went well and she made it home safely. When I questioned her on the day, she related that the American students are not very polite and they whistle in class, text, interupt and call the teachers by their FIRST names. This would not happen in Pakistan.
Students are expected to stand when asking the teacher a question, call teachers sir, ask to enter the classroom, stop in the hall if a teacher walks by - generally, the exact opposite of American teens... more culture shock.
So for dinner - we went to The Bombay House and try to have some home comfort food with Alex, Joe & Heather. All was good.
