Epworth School

There is a school in the middle of the balancing rocks of Epworth.
I have never seen anything like it. It consists of five metal frames -- and that's it. Dirt floors. Gigantic stones all around.
Believe it or not, over 500 students are taught in these 5 rooms. I believe each classroom is used for 2 or 3 groups of students each day.
They cover the top with a tarp or some canvas when it's hot or rainy. Otherwise, the children just sit in the dirt and listen to the teachers.
