Corona what else?

 Are you also a student right now who is struggling with online schooling? I am! If you also feel 

overwhelmed and exhausted regarding Corona, then you are in the right place. 


Since February 2020 everything has changed. It all started mid of March with a lock-down. From one day to the other schools were closed and the so called “distance learning” started. Which sounded exciting at first glance turned out to be a disaster. Neither the ministry of education, nor the teachers nor the pupils were prepared for such a form of teaching. We all were confronted with a lack of nearly everything: end devices, standardized teaching platforms, regular online lessons and last but not least we missed our friends and even our teachers ☺. School year ended after having four weeks of teaching in shifts and started after two months of open school again with closed schools and distance learning – until yesterday


Even if Austrian students haven’t learned as much about the different subject matters as compared to

the years before, the Corona crisis gave us some particular skills which we otherwise probably wouldn’t have learned. For example, we learned, among others, among others self-organization, digital skills, self-motivation, or interdisciplinary works. And we survived staying at home for months and living with our parents on a 24/7 basis.


It is often said that we, as the Corona generation, are a lost generation. What do you think? I wouldn’t say so. We are strong, we learned a lot, we showed a high degree of solidarity and we will return to our normal lives in the next weeks.

    Hey, I was really moved by your blog post. In my opinion you are completely right with all your statements. To be honest, I also missed my friends, colleagues and teachers and I am happy that we all are returning to our normal lives now. Schools are open again and we do not have to wear this horrible mask in the class. It is just fantastic! I cannot avoid saying that I really hated to wear the FFP-2 mask 6 hours and sometimes even 8 hours a day. Furthermore, we are of course not a lost generation. As you have already said, we learned a lot and showed a high degree of solidarity, so it would be insane to say such a rubbish; that is just not true. :-)

    Hi, i have just read your BLOG POST and your opinion about the corona virus. You have great approaches and a very good vocabulary. I can only agree with this ideas. This and the last year were hard for everyone, and especially for the people, who are technically talented. I am so glad that the vaccinations are going to make our lives easier again. Make sure you enjoy this. I also like your style of writing! Keep up the good work!

A lost schoolyear because of Covid-19?

  Covid-19 was a shock for all of us. The schools in Austria were suddenly closed and all children were sent home. The turbulent everyday life of pupils was suddenly no longer turbulent but instead monotonous and boring. Many months later, half of the class returned to school for two days at a time. And now, on Monday 17 th of May 2021, the long-awaited face-to-face teaching in the schools has started again. And the legitimate question arises: did Covid-19 cost us a year of education? What would you say? I would say no. Of course, it was a new, unfamiliar and perhaps not easy kind of learning during Covid-19. But one thing is for certain: Students learned a lot that they would never have been taught at school. Firstly, pupils became more independent. They learned how to organize themselves and structure their day. They also gained discipline as they were forced to hand in challenging tasks on time. Moreover, they also had to follow a healthy routine in order not to harm their body ...

This seems strange!

Today I took a closer look at the different schooling types around the world, from a pioneer project to now a wide range of these schools. So let´s get right into it.   There are many reasons the summer hill school is as successful as it is. The summer hill school is a unique school in Great Brittan and only consists of approximately 75 students from the age 5 to 18. The point that is making summer hill so interesting is the social connection between pupils of different ages and their teachers. What to me is also one-of-a-kind is the fact that there is no compulsion for learning, the will to learn needs to come from the pupil.   The Waldorf school is a renowned school though its history is quite controversial. In 1919 Emil Molt owned a cigarette factory and opened a school for the children of his workers. Rudolph Steiner was actually the guy who was in charge of building the school and its system. The school system is based on a lot of philosophy and until today they focus on ...
