Today we saw the tale of two schools. We spent the morning at the
In the afternoon, we visited a migrant worker elementary school. These are for children whose families have moved out of their rural village to find work in the city. These are considered private, because they are not funded by the government. The conditions that these wonderful young children and their teachers work in are unimaginable. There are 1200 students and 56 staff. Class sizes were 50-60, but that was the least of the shock. This building would be condemned if it were would be condemned in the U.S. They do not meet code in China either, and often migrant schools are closed down.

Seeing this school was more moving than seeing the Great Wall of China . There is too much to be said in a blog…
