Our practice: Pieces of knowledge

  • Pupils always call teachers by first name, teachers are very kind, honest and open-minded.
  • Ann-Mari and all other teachers seem they are truly enjoying their jobs, (Ann-Mari was even jumping the rope with 3rd class pupils)
  • Children are allowed to go out to backyard and play in the gaps between the lessons.
  • School has 25 laptops available and children are free to use them. When teacher wants to borrow them for her students, she has to reserve them first though.
  • Every day during the first break (from 8:45 till 9:00) is prayer time. They sing, pray and thank god.
  • In contrast with the Czech republic, they don’t use the class-book in lessons but every single teacher has a notebook for notes, lesson schedule etc.
  • The grades up to seventh class in the english lessons are A, B, C, D (I’m good at understanding, reading, telling (A-almost all the time, B-most of the time, C-sometimes, D-hardly ever). From seventh class on grades are 1-5 (official marks are up to 12 – 6 means passed, 12 is the best grade and 0-6 failed)
  • When children are really naughty, they got locked up into a special glass-room called “telephone room”
