Thank you, fren, for this detailed and important information from the great and passionate teacher that you are. Teachers are so important and valuable, especially when they love the work that they do and are proud to take on the responsibility they have for our kids.
To have a good teacher in your youth, lasts for a life time. Especially when a teacher teaches the kids how to think for themselves and how they can teach themselves later in life.
I had three great teachers that taught me how to think, how to ask every question I want to know an answer to and how to be precise and logical in my perceptions, thoughts and conclusions. They were my teacher in primary school, a teacher for biology and a teacher for art history. I will never forget them!
Yes, the pandemic has destroyed so much in the minds and souls of the children. And now you and your colleagues have to work with "this".
God bless you and your work and hope so very much that your love for kids and for teaching will create also in future great personalities which will enrich the whole country with their talents, knowledge and charackter.
Thank you for kind rant, I loved listening to you.
(and please have mercy on my English, because I am living in Germany and very probably I am no longer at the top with my English grammar and spelling)
Thank you very much, your English is fantastic! The closest I've been to Germany was when I was dating someone in Netherlands and had to travel there a lot. Lockdowns ended that and I haven't been to Europe since.
I used to go to Spain a lot. Most of my family is still there, I actually teach in Spanish/English due to my position and the demographics in my area, so I've had to keep my Spanish and Portuguese sharp, but I never got to really learn Dutch like I wanted :P
Dutch reminds me of German and French, as a German would you say you could get by in Netherlands for the most part with your language?
Dutch and German are similiar, but for me it is difficult to understand the Dutch language. But in different work settings I had customers from the Netherlands who loved to talk German and it always seemed to be very easy for them. In rural areas we have Platt-Deutsch which is similiar to Frisian which is very similiar to the Dutch language.
So I wish you that you will soon see your family in Spain again and will enjoy a nice recreation there. It is good that now travel will get a lot easier again. I always loved to travel learning about different countries their traditions, culture and people.
One day I will once again visit the US, which I did in the late 1990s. You all have such a wonderful homeland, beautiful nature and the feeling of freedom and the American dream was very perceptible.
