This photo shows you per~ haps the most astounding accomplishment of 1989. The highest educated adult in Teosinte had only a 4th grade education--he became principal of Teosinte's school which was started April 1989, only 7 months after the people had returned. These 11 and 12-year-old young women are the teachers in this school. They teach preschool kindergarten and 1st grade in the morning and go to 3rd grade in the afternoon! Here they are attending 3rd grade! This 1st school offered preschool through 3rd grade. |

VENTURA TEACHING AT THE SCHOOL IN LOS NARANJOS:Ventura teaches third grade in the morning and seventh grade in the afternoon. In public schools, students do not receive books from the school and so the teacher has to write everything on the board and students have to copy it down. Los Naranjos is a very poor, remote community Population: 450. Illiteracy rate: 80%. Very few children come to school as their labor is needed in the, fields. |
