Did COVID-19 change the school education?

 This year has been an interesting and unpredictable one. Don't you agree with me? Some things improved, and people gained new knowledge. Isn't this fantastic? But how did school education change? Was this a school year in which children learned something or was it something of a holiday for them?

This school year, 2020/21, children and teens were unable to attend school for a long period of time, because of the Coronavirus. Late in October, schools and restaurants closed and reopened in the middle of May. As a result, people lost their jobs and went through a tough period for seven months. There were several times when students could go to school, but only for two weeks, and the classes were divided into two groups, which was awesome because students, who were shyer than others, got more confident and teachers noticed easier if somebody had any difficulty with school, for example.

However, many people and students learned how to use their laptop properly and how to be more responsible and structured. As a result, people today have more technological knowledge than they did before, which is great for them and important for the future. 

So, this year was not so awful after all. I believe that this year was not a loss for students because there were less tests than usual and teachers were nicer with grades, which is a benefit for those students who struggle in school.

Why don’t you share your personal thoughts on this topic? In conclusion, I suggest you to enjoy the rest of this year and to make the most out of it!

The status of our environment is getting worse and worse!

  Don’t you think our environment is in big trouble? Because I do! There is this huge hole in the ozone layer which has to close again for example. But this only works if we finally decide to do something for it. Planting trees would be optimal. But this hole isn’t our only problem. There are many other problems like the pollution of oceans and seas. Many fishes are dying because of that. But the list of bad things doesn’t stop here. There are many other disasters we have to do something about as well. To fix those things we need every help we can get. So why don’t you or your school contribute something good for the environment? For example, by going to demonstrations. Starting an environmental-protection school project would also be a great idea. There are many other options to do something good for nature as long as something changes. Even if you only start separating waste. But to start helping the environment people have to know what they can do about it. Therefore, it would b...

Parents Information

Dear Parents of the Wenzgasse, in our English Elective course, we are currently working on an online portal that is allowing students to exchange their habits of learning for tests and how they help them. We also want to publish weekly tips that can be used to increase your learning abilities in different ways, for example on concentration and receptivity.    Our goal is to write a blog by Austrian high school students that have all experienced the difficulties of learning correctly. We think our tips that focuses lesson study mater and more on advice on how to learn can help a wide range of students, especially since they emphasise modern education.
