Covid19 taught students many things

 Due to Covid19 schools in Austria were closed in the year 2020/21 a lot. Students who are attending 9 th to 11 th grade were homeschooled for around three months in total. Younger pupils and high-school graduators were able to get educated at school a bit more. Even though some teenagers were allowed to go to school since January, their classes were divided into two groups, so that there weren’t too many people at once. And because there were two groups, one group could just go to school for two days, so that the other one was able to get educated on the other two days as well. Fridays were still homeschooled. 

However, studying at home taught students a lot of new things which they would probably have not learned in school. If you don’t think so just keep on reading, I will persuade you. Firstly, teenagers have learned to organize themselves and their time schedule better, because in our school we got more assignments than having online sessions. Furthermore, students gained a lot of new competencies when it comes to digital devices which is very important in our lifetime. 

I am sure that this year has not been lost for most students, because they have picked up a lot of other skills and discovered new interests. They tried out different things or got creative which they weren’t able to do during school time because of time shortage. This part of their life was an
important and teaching experience for all students which will help them in their future and their
future jobs. I am interested to hear what you think about this topic, so please share your opinion
below! I will be delighted to read your point of view.

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 ...
