My last day at the school HAH/HAS. I am sorry to leave. I have seen so many interesting lessons, colleagues, who are trying their best to enable students to take responsibility to learn, widen their horizons and become involved citizens of the EU.
I had another German language lesson by Astrid Gessel Pingera. Some of her students in the second class of the vocational school have difficulties with the German language, since the language is not their mother tongue. She tried to encourage them to use proper spelling and grammar. I observed that the students respond to their teacher´s suggestions very well, although the subject is quite difficult for them.
The English teacher, Eva Schulze was kind enough to invite me into her class and show me the level of the students´ knowledge of English. They are specially good in business English which is absolutely necessary for any business communication.
I had an interesting experience staying at the school. By comparing the two systems I have found out that we are not that different. Most of the European teachers want the same, help their students to become better people, grow personally and professionally. To put it Mr Wagner´s words: “Is there anything more beautiful and rewarding for a teacher than watching one´s students grow and become adults.” I think teacher at the schools I have visited during my stay in Austria are doing exactly that.
