Today is the third day of my visit with Maruge. I was at his school, where the kids sit at benches that all face the board. Everyone must value school, because they all wore the same well-groomed blue and grey uniforms, were polite to the teachers, paid attention (as opposed to good old USA), and brought all their materials. Maruge fit in with the uniform and behavior, although he was a little big, and an adult. It smelled very dusty, and the teacher spoke in some weird emotionless tone, but I was just thinking about getting back to this blog.
Now I see that he is not lonely, although he still sits by himself during recess, and has many friends at school, like most of the students and the teachers. He is a special friend with the student that he helped write the number five.
Even though some of the kids still think he is an oddball, he is happy to be at school, because he is learning to read.
