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!

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 ...
