Me: Well, they know. You know you have North, South, East…
Student: So for them is like North, South, Mecca?
Me: ….
Student 1: You look pretty because you have blush on.
Me: Well, thank you.
Student: Hahaha she’s saying you’re ugly when you don’t.
Me: ….
Student: You look pretty. Is it your birthday?
Me: No. That’s next week.
Student: Oh, people usually look prettier on their birthday.
Student 1: I think I’ll fail my English test. My parents will kill me.
Student 2: Mine won’t. I pretend to be very sad and they make me pork chops.
Student 1: I have such a headache, I need to take a pill.
Student 2: Don’t!! I heard that you can get cancer from taking too many pills.

They don’t understand how Muslims know where is Mecca so they can pray facing it. I was trying to explain that people know because of the cardinal points and the sun. They don’t understand orientation

Well! Depending on the shadow of the person: The person can stand at noon time precisely when the meridian, this time the sun is vertical, and the Qiblah or facing Mecca will be on the opposite side of the shadow of the person, and spread this method in Mecca. But now, we all know that we have technologies are being used to determine it by using sort of like compass specifically used for this purpose to specify the location, this app can be downloaded through mobiles. Hope you got it

So true, and i also have another way for it: It is possible to determine the direction of the qibla or the direction of the qiblah-Mecca. The person facing for example is facing the east. And make the west side behind him, on the left will be the north side and make the south is on his right. After that, it is possible to put the sun on the right, so that the direction of the qiblah will be at his back, between the morning and the afternoon, and it will be from the front after noon to sunset.

I just love kids. They are such adorable idiots. Of course, sometimes I’d just love to choke the snot out of them, but that’s another story. Hearing them talk has entertained me for years and now that I’m not teaching, it makes me so happy to be able to eavesdrop into your classroom. Thanks!
