So, what are the students like? I feel they can best be described by the Christmas show that they put on. There was some Christmas in it. They had the poster and some classes sang some tunes. I was quite disapointed by Deck the Halls. They only sang the chorus and their 'l's were quite audible. No fra ra ra ra ra at Benchama.
They are similar to any other pre/early teenager (about 11-14). Friends, free time, snacks, in their own world and stress about too much homework and exams gets them, but in other respects, they couldn't be more different. I'd love to find a talent show back home with dances like some of these...
So the kids start out as cute and innocent. Let's all "awwww." Look at them in their uniforms, as Santa and Frozen. How could that possibly not be so precious! I bet they are angels in the classroom too...
They put on a show, each class sings and dances.

So it goes from nice to a little weird, topped off with the odd item of clothing that would never fly in the U.S. The kids are fluent enough to know what it means, though he did ask what comme des meant.
And then it just gets downright weird.
I urge you, if you do nothing today, at least watch the videos. You won't be disappointed.
Today I couldn't get the kids to calm down enough to play a game. That, I believe, are the students in a nutshell.
