Do I have to mind the children during breaks? - Yes, duty of care is high in Italy, and the children need to be looked after AT ALL TIMES! If you need to take a break, go to the restroom, or have a cigarette, you will need to ensure that other tutors are supervising your children. At the first camp meeting, it is helpful that you set up a rotation system so that all of the tutors can have a break. Minding children is culturally correct. Not minding children is culturally wrong and produces negative consequences.
Can I smoke during breaks? - Yes, you can go and have a cigarette during break times as long as other tutors are supervising your children. You will need to discuss with your camp director where you can smoke. Even though parents and teachers smoke in front of the children, ACLE does not wish to promote this habit.
Do I have to change the way I speak ? - You will have to slow down your speech, articulate all of your syllables, use simple words, repeat frequently, and use your hands to explain what you are saying.
