Twenty-five students from Walling School are currently living in France. They are there for three
months as part of a living-abroad project. The 16- and 17-year-old students are living with French
families and attending a French school. Most of the students have taken French language classes for 3 or
4 years and are finally getting an opportunity to use their French.
Not only are students learning a new language, but they are learning about a new culture, too. Students
have been particularly surprised about the French attitude towards food. “They won’t leave anything on
their plate,” says Vanessa Athol. “They aren’t wasteful at all.” Vanessa has vowed to be more careful
with waste when returning to the United States.
The group’s chaperone, Mrs. Smith, has been pleased with the students’ acquisition of language. “Even
the most timid are trying their best to speak. The students are learning a lot. I’m very impressed,” she
said. Mrs. Smith added that she thinks living with a French family makes a difference because students
are forced to speak French. “We are all very grateful to the French families who are hosting us.”
The French families are happy to have the students, as they are getting to leam about American culture.
Both groups will be celebrating the exchange at a large potluck dinner at the end of the stay. There will be
a slide show of memories and the students will speak about their experiences. Currently, the American
students are periodically posting pictures and student essays on the Walling School website. “Living in
France is an experience I’ll never forget,” writes student Tina Davis. “I know I’ll want to eat these
croissants and this Camembert for the rest of my life!”

Working on the computer is very tough on your body, which is not used to this modem type of work.
Sitting has long been known to cause back pain and negatively influence circulation, which can promote
cardiovascular disease. Extensive use of the keyboard and mouse can lead to stiffening of the muscles in
your hands, arms, and neck. Staring at a bright screen for too long can cause dry eyes and headaches. So,
computer work can be as unhealthy a job as you can imagine.
First and foremost, sitting for long stretches of time is a very serious health risk! Sitting affects your
blood circulation, your back experiences a steady stress, you are more likely to drink and eat stuff that
isn’t good for you, and you bum very little calories, making it more likely that you overeat. As a result,
sitting contributes to a host of conditions, most notably gaining weight, diabetes, heart disease, cancer,
and consequently a shortened life span.
Second, bad posture causes pain. You can develop bad posture from anything you do habitually,
whether it’s sitting, standing, or walking. The typical consequences associated with bad posture while
working on the computer are pain in the back, shoulder, and neck, often resulting in tension headaches.
Third, staring at the screen causes eve strain. Staring at a bright screen for hours can lead to eye fatigue
or eye strain, headaches, blurred vision, burning, itching or tearing eyes, and temporary vision disorders.
Fortunately, eye strain rarely results in a permanent condition and symptoms can be prevented or cured
rather easily.
Last, but not least, emotional pressure and isolation cause anxiety and depression. Computers are very
efficient tools in that they help us with getting more work done in less time. At the same time, you spend
less face-to-face time with your colleagues, family, or friends. This can lead to isolation, anxiety, and
depression, i.e. both physical and mental health issues. The symptoms are manifold and can include tense
muscles, back pain, headaches, poor sleep (insomnia), increased or flat breathing, quickened pulse, and
generally signs of stress, depression, or anxiety.
