Should environmental education become a new school subject?

 What do you think about the environment? Are you interested in it? If so then read this blog

post, because I will show some advantages of environmental education as a school subject.

First of all there are a lot of environmental problems around the world. One huge problem is

the plastic in the ocean. Many animals die, because they eat the plastic. As a solution people

should use less plastic and more paper or glass. Another important problem is air pollution.

People should go by bike or the take the bus.

Secondly I want to talk about solutions school can do. They should use more glass instead of

plastic. Also the schools can recycle the plastic, because it rots very slowly. For example you

can use paper to pack food in the school buffet.

Should environmental education become integrated in other lessons? Environmental

education should be integrated in biology, because in this subject you talk about the nature.

It is a really important topic, but it shouldn’t become a new subject because you can’t really

find a teacher.

In the end I hope this topic will be more discuss in school, because it is important for our life.

I really recommend, if you use less plastic and more paper, to safe our planet.

The gaps that we need to fill

  I presume that I need not introduce anyone to COVID-19 . It is the reason why you cannot see your friends and also why you can wake up at 9 am on weekdays. And this is precisely the premise of today's blog post. How did the lack of regular lessons influence us, and did we indeed waste a year of education?  We are not going to lie to ourselves:  this school year has been extremely overwhelming . The back and forth between going to school and switching to distant learning left not only me but a lot of others very confused. Until November we were all together as a class, and then we had to shift to online education. After that, it was just a mix of online lessons and  class attendance, with only half of the students present.  Nonetheless, I can tell from my own experience that when it comes to new skills, this year has been very productive. I think that the most important one is becoming  a more independent learner. It is difficult for teachers to check on t...

Covid – A student’s dream or educational disaster?

  As we surely all have understood by now the past year has been drastically different due to the global pandemic, for adults as well as for students. In this blog post I will show you the viewpoint of an affected student from Austria. First of all, schools only partially closed down. For the most time online classes were held, then when things got better the government decided to switch to a system with half of the students physically going to school every other day. Unfortunately, this led to more covid-cases, resulting in a back and forth between online classes and “real” classes. One of the major differences was in the amount of work that we got assigned. Not only were the teachers much more generous with homework but as a student I had a lot more time to manage, and efficiently do, all the tasks. This might seem like a big advantage for everyone, but the actual online meetings were much more stressful than I could’ve ever imagined. Over time, however, things changed. Teachers ...

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...
