4 become 3
We found out yesterday that Marie-Christine will be leaving us at the end of this week. Turns out that the school would prefer a French teacher from France rather than the Canadian variety. She put on a brave face when we were told but I think she’s a bit upset, not surprisingly. She will finish off the week and be replaced by a new teacher from Monday. The new teacher, Adeline, is a 29-year old, French mother of two, who moved here seven years ago. Her kids are in Nido and Pre-Primero in Colegio Buena Vista. More on her soon.
Meanwhile, Marie-Christine is determined not to go back to Canada and is looking for a new job in hotels in and around La Romana and Bayahibe. I feel for her as it really isn’t her fault she had to go, but at least she is taking the initiative and has the motivation to stay in the face of adversity. Best of luck to her.
