Today, I walked into my classroom to find dead or mostly dead flies scattered all over the floor. Not, just a few, but like a hundred, so many that when I asked the aya to sweep it up, she had an entire dust pan full.
But during the lesson, flies continued to drop from the ceiling onto my students' desks. Obviously, they were disturbed by this, as was I, and I informed the principal of the reenactment of the book of Exodus that was occurring in my classroom. As I have a few first-borns in my class, he was quite concerned, and supervised the custodian checking out several ceiling tiles and coming across animal remains, bones, feces, and more flies. The tiles were then taken out, washed, and put back in place. Problem solved??
Sigh, only in Dhaka. There are certain things I didn't realize I had signed up for. This is one of them.
