The first Practice week

This week we had the first practice week. I am in a school in Over Jerstal, along with Manu.

We have a very nice mentor in the school, Karin. She guides us and we also follow some lessons with her.

The most of the lessons we just have to observe, but already this week on Wednesday we had to give 2 French lessons. We have a really nice class. It are 5 pupils and they are really motivated to learn French. We tried to give them of every skill a little bit. We spoke, listened and wrote.

On Thursday and Friday I had some interesting conversations.

We (Manu and me) think that the level of discipline in Denmark could be better. We also talk a lot about this issue with other teachters. I always say that the accomodation in Denmark is excellent compared to Belgium. But the pupils could be listening better. When I tell that in Belgium we have something like school rules, teachers are often surprised. Ok, I admit that we have maybe to many rules, but sometimes I think there are to less "rules" in Denmark. There are no consequences for behaviour that sometimes needs consequences.

But I am going to try to learn more about this topic in the next 2 weeks!
