You can congratulate me

You can congratulate me.
I’ve finished my studies and got my educational diploma too.
Last year I decided to go for the extra year so I could work at schools and teach collegues too. I’m happy I did.
It was not completely my idea, but when I was talking with a friend about job opportunities and a good [...]

good testing

Making good tests is an art in itself. Especially tests for final exams.
It turned out that the national test construction organisation hasn’t been able to develop proper tests for economics.
Over and over again questions were deleted or valued in a different way.
The result is that students are receiving higher marks.
Complaining about that is not the [...]

schoolvacations will change

Most schoolvacations are dictated by the government.
At the moment the government is preparing a new change.
The may- and christmasvacations will be dictated by the government and the summervacation will be shortened with a week.
All changes are for the benefit of those who have a job. (except teachers)
Women have complained that the summervacation is too long, [...]

3 year and going to school each day

The advisory board of education has advised the government that 3 year olds should go to school each day for at least half a day.
I can’t belief that a renowned board has made a choice to advice that.
All I see is that everything in our society should be towards the goal of putting as many [...]

Finally: the mail

Finally the mail came with the long expected letter: my last papers are accepted, so I’m able to wave university goodbye soon.
I’m looking forward to finding a job, even though it makes me nervous to think it’ll be one for a long time.
Working at the school was fun, but I can’t imagine myself working there [...]

Teachers educated to deal with high intelligent children.

The past year the attention for young people who are highly intelligent has increased.
Some schools provide extra lessons and tasks, some extra classes, but it was up to the teachers to find out how to deal with them.
To educate the teachers a new educational program starts in octobre at different towns in the country.
Schoolleaders, teachers [...]

Vulcano dust

There’s no better way to explain to children the wonders of nature than when those wonders express themselves around us.
A vulcano in iceland erupted and blew lots of dust into the air.
The cloud drifted towards our part of the world and disabled all airtraffic.
I was lucky today to be asked back to school to fill [...]

Plural of museum

Oops…what’s the plural of museum in english?
Is it musea? Museums? Museen?
Well, it’s museum weekend here, meaning that the musea are free to enter.
After I helped the old lady, I went to school to collect a group of children to go to the main museum of school.
They needed volunteers to go with the children, and I [...]

Changes

Don’t ask me if the server was updated.
Due to a huge electrical disturbance internet was down and most servers couldn’t be reached.
If the problems were fixed in time to have the maintenance done last night? I don’t know.
Laane has made a new header for the site, so the winterface is finally gone. At a remarkable [...]

egg hunt

Last week the weather was so beautiful, that we expected to have an egg hunt outside in the sun.
But we’re facing rain, rain and more rain.
Right at this moment there’s sooo much water pouring down that we’d better organise a fish hunt.
Some teachers don’t mind.
They think it’s far more convenient to wait until the children [...]
