In 2009 we each left our homes in the US and the UK to begin our international teaching careers. We have since been teaching at International schools in Qatar and Kuwait, and China. After our son’s birth in China we went to England for two years, then it was back to Doha where it all started. Another two year stint and on to Abu Dhabi, UAE for two more years. Thanks to the pandemic and 8 years in the Middle East we decided it was time to move on. We headed back to Asia and landed in Singapore. Mr T is teaching in a British international school and me and Little T are living our best lives as unschoolers discovering new learning opportunities everyday and everywhere.

That is definitely his mobile number in China. The explosion was quite a way out of the main city. For somebody who was close by you should call TEDA school or Tianjin International School and ask to speak to a teacher. They are
Any luck??
Yes, just woke him up… He’s 40km away he says so he didn’t see or hear anything. Do you know anyone closer to the explosion area?
