37 times! lol. You would think they would finish the semester at least. Then, walk up to daddy (next to the Christmas tree), put their arms around his neck, and tell him what he is getting for Christmas. (the luxury of seeing his daughter everyday for the new year!)

Funny.

It is a waste that someone would not finish the semester. However, of the early quiters in our class, some left to be back with spouse, while a few others simply hated Mexico and could not wait to get back to "familiar" land.

Yes. I knew some of the students that left and they were failing pretty much every exam. Others, just hated mexico and the "way" of teaching here. It is hard to give up so early since we still have segundos and extraordinarios. MOst of the students I know that went to segundos have passed the exams so go figure. I guess some students realize that "this" is not for them
