Timetables:
We 've got a very bad timetable, we sometimes even have to be at school from 8.30 untill 16.50, that's way too long. We're all taught in many subjects.
This is an example, it is the timetable of Johanna
These are the ones we all have:
Dutch, Math (you choose between mathematics A and mathematics B, A is more focused on statistics and B is more focused on formulas.), P.E., English, general science, greek and latin culture, sociology, religion (not actually religion, but thinking about what's important of life.) and Greek or Latin
Beside we also have to choose a profile, there are 4 profiles which al have different subjects in it:
Economics and society: Economics, German/French, History,
Culture and society: Economics, German/French, History, Drama/Music/Drawing
Nature and health: Biology, Chemistry.
Nature and technics: Biology, Chemistry, Physics. (with this profile you have to choose mathematics B)
Afterwards you also have to choose three other subjects from the following:
Biology, Geology, French, German, Music, Drama, Philosphy, Social science, Management, ICT or extra difficult mathematics.
We also have to do al lot of homework. Almost every day we're working on it for three hours.
The good points at our school are the following:
- There is a nice atmosphere in the building.
- Most of the teachers are nice.
The bad points are:
- The schedule is horrible.
- There are too few classrooms
- We get to much homework
If we could change anything, we would change the schedule and there should be less homework.
Our parents think school is in some way better, but in someway worse.
The good thing now is that the distance between the teacher and the students smaller then before. We can also work on computers, which is useful, because it's faster. The teachers are also less severe.
The bad thing is that there is sometimes no order in class.
Our parents have experienced their time at school useful, they learned to speak languages and many other things. Their study helped them in their lives.
