Virtual Teaching – Week One

March 25, 2020March 25, 2020 / mscoyleabroad / 1 Comment

Well, one thing is for sure. I am not a virtual teacher. I detest this. I loath this. And it isn't because of the kids. They have been incredibly patient and positive and truthfully better behaved and engaged than in a normal classroom setting. I hate this process because I cannot see all of their … Continue reading Virtual Teaching – Week One

Corona Virus Hits Uruguay

March 18, 2020 / mscoyleabroad / Leave a comment

I now have an incredible amount of time on my hands and promise, promise, promise that I will backlog all of the posts missing from Peru and my current health situation. But since this blog was originally formed to talk about my adventures teaching abroad, I figured this was a good a time as any … Continue reading Corona Virus Hits Uruguay

My Favorite Prom

June 15, 2019July 23, 2019 / mscoyleabroad / Leave a comment

I never got to go prom. Be it a sports tournament or my lack of popularity, my own high school prom was just not in the cards for me. When I became a teacher, Prom became an excuse to go out to a nice Nashville dinner, drink a bottle of wine with the other lushes … Continue reading My Favorite Prom

A Tiny Graduation with a Big Heart

June 14, 2019July 23, 2019 / mscoyleabroad / 1 Comment

I love graduation. It is that culminating moment when all of the blood, sweat, tears, anger, laughers, failure and successes pay off. It doesn't matter how much grief a student has given me over the years, seeing him or her walk a stage and receive a diploma makes all of the pain worth it. My … Continue reading A Tiny Graduation with a Big Heart

STUCO…The Two-Year Plan

June 6, 2019July 24, 2019 / mscoyleabroad / Leave a comment

My cancer distraction was school. I knew I had to keep working through chemo or else I would have gone crazy. But the crazy thing is that when chemo was over I didn't really know what to do. It was like, ok...now what? For six months I had an identity. I had a routine. Then … Continue reading STUCO…The Two-Year Plan

UAS Gym sale

May 25, 2019July 23, 2019 / mscoyleabroad / Leave a comment

If you come to Uruguay for long enough you will discover that besides their very bland cuisine tastes and mate drinking, Uruguayans do not throw anything away. Rich, poor, it doesn't matter. They use and use and use until something is falling apart. And then they try to figure out how to fix it before … Continue reading UAS Gym sale

Teacher Prom

May 24, 2019July 23, 2019 / mscoyleabroad / Leave a comment

For the second year in a row, Edison Garrone has outdone himself. In an effort to increase teacher morale at the school, Edison was permitted to throw a teacher prom during a Friday evening in our auditorium. Teacher prom is exactly what it sounds like: Food, alcoholic beverages, dancing, and a lot of teachers getting … Continue reading Teacher Prom

The Stupid Week

May 17, 2019May 30, 2019 / mscoyleabroad / 2 Comments

We had this week from hell at school. I really have no idea HOW the snowball of awful happened, but I do know how it affected me. It started with this project that my students were forced into. It was a pilot project set forth by the school administration to try and implement school-wide project-based … Continue reading The Stupid Week

Silly Socks and Wigs

May 7, 2019May 31, 2019 / mscoyleabroad / Leave a comment

What do all of the UAS teachers and students do for the English teacher the Monday after she finishes her last chemo? They all take off their shoes, put on some really silly socks, and wear some wigs. Then they come in all day bringing memes about finishing chemo and "take that" cancer cards and … Continue reading Silly Socks and Wigs

The Domino Effect

April 25, 2019 / mscoyleabroad / 1 Comment

This week is spirit week at school. It is always my FAVORITE week because we get to dress up silly and be really creative. Our kids are kind of lame at UAS. Unlike at Hendersonville where the cooler you were, the wackier you dressed, these kids think they are way too cool to dress up. … Continue reading The Domino Effect
