I-Bailey ifundisa iklasi yomzimba engama-30 apha rhoqo ngoMvulo, ngoLwesithathu, ngoLwesine, nangoMgqibelo kusasa.
Ngokweposi yaseWashington, umqeqeshi uBhailey, oneminyaka eli-102 ubudala, ehlala ngokuzimela kumhlala-phantsi we-Elkridge. Ufundisa iiklasi zokomelela kwiholo yomgangatho wesithathu amaxesha amane ngeveki, kwaye ebesenza njalo kangangesithuba seminyaka emithathu, kodwa engazange acinge ngokuma.
