Random Tidbit of Info

Morning Tea: a common custom here in NZ that I think should be adapted into US school systems


They have a tradition here for morning tea. Whether in the office, classroom, or wherever you may be there is always a morning tea time. The schedule stops for a 10-minute morning tea when all the kids must have something to eat. (There is food in the staff room if kids do not have a lunch, or the students are very good about sharing with each other.) After morning tea they have a 30-minute recess and then they have the same thing a bit longer for lunchtime. I think it is a great tradition. They have tea and also milo in the staff room. Milo is similar to a hot chocolate, but I think hot chocolate is better. I just put "heaps" of sugar into my mug and it tastes pretty good.
