First day in school

It's Monday, so my first day of school!!

At the beginning, I got to know some people of the staff (Marika, Hanna and Petra), they are lovely!! After experiencing Jocke's first lesson, I continued participating in Marika's class(economics). There an "education master" informed the pupils on the possibilities after graduation. If they are going to study, or looking for a job etc... Reason for that was: all of them are in the 3rd and last year.

Some differences to Germany came up to me.
First, only a few number of the people puts out a pencil and a piece of paper to take some notes.
Second, everyone got a PC at school, which is property of the school.
Third, the classes are pretty small (approx. 15 students).
Fourth the doors are closed during the lesson, so if someone comes late, which happens a lot, he or she has to knock until the teacher lets him/her in.
Fifth, many pupils come late to school, up to 30 minutes...

Similar to Germany seems the magnetism of the places in the back of the classroom, like "if i'm far away from the teacher, he wouldn't pick me!"
And they seem to have a similar dual educationsystem like we have. The 3rd year e.g. have their practicedays on Thursdays and Fridays. Maybe this is compareable to the ecolea school in Warnemünde.

11.30 we had lunch.
Instead of taking a plate from a huge staple, people have got a code, they have to type in and a hand-scanner to be able to take a plate...high tech!!! That's because the school had problems with non-school-related people who ate for free here before.

Afterwards Jocke showed me the grounds. It is huge. The school offers many kinds of specialisation. I'm in the logistics part now, but there are in addition parts for: electrics, mathmatics, chefs, disabled/ handycapped, sports,...
On the picture you can see the culture-part (theatre, music, art,...) and the handycapped.. Unfortunately, there are too much buildings to fit into one picture ><...



The whole day showed me, that Swedish and German are quite similar. Sometimes I'm surprisingly well able to understand something, funny isn't it???
And, as you can see, it's always time for Fika again :3
