Agony I'm at eighteen now and I'm going *bonkers*. I've just gone through 13 A-level English exam papers (Abitur), 31 Year Seven English classtests (which feature a lot more free text production than UK or US exams so they're hell to mark), I've finished marking nine out of 26 Year Ten final English exams and will have to do the rest on Monday, by which time I really need to start working on the twenty Year Twelve exam papers that have been lying here for a week now; and when those are done, I'm writing two more Latin exams on the same day, one in Year Six and the other in Year Seven.
And it will stay like this every year from now on.
Why, WHY didn't I take Art as a subject??
*Goes back to mark and weep some more*
Being a teacher is just hard work, at least for the ones who actually care. I'm not sure all of my past teachers were exactly qualified, wait scratch that, I KNOW they're not qualified! But I've been lucky to have good ones too.
But hey, here's one alternative to your system. What happens when teachers can get away with pretty much anything, and the students learn so little, it's shcking. Well take a look at this documentary on youtube, and see the shocking answer. (lol, I sound like a tv add.
You still get teachers who don't do particularly good jobs even in this kind of system, of course... because we're extremely hard to fire over here, too.
He, here too, but it's not as bad as America, and thak goodness for that!
And don't even get me started on my German teacher.
But I'm sure there are plenty of good shcools out there too. I just havn't been lucky enough to experience them. I was almost 19 when I finally found a school I liked, and learned in. It's a special school, and I was lucky to get in. The teachers are great and I learned a lot of stuff I never knew. Both socially and educationally.
But I do like that the Danish school system permits us to call our teachers by their fisrt name. Actually I call everyone by their first name, also my friend's parents, always have and always will.
Und ich schätze, Kunst ist noch schwieriger zu benoten, auch wenn die "Klausuren" nicht so häufig sind!
