I warn you, elementary school in the Philippines is not for the faint-hearted. We memorize notes from seven classes for quarterly exams, must dance with grace, sing, create worship services once a week, play an instrument, declaim, and construct flawless macrame bags. No matter the weather, our uniforms are never rumpled. Skill at jackstones or kickball is helpful though not required.
