Hello all!!
I hope you're all doing well!
My dilemma for this week has to do with scheduling...
I don't know if this has to do just with my school or if this is in general a Dutch thing, but my school schedule changes so often it's ridiculous!! I seriously have had alterations to my schedule every single week since I've been in school...
What really makes it a pain though is that I have no way of finding out about these changes until I make a mistake (i.e. show up late, to the wrong classroom, etc.). The way students keep up with the scheduling is through Magister (their version of uLearn). There is an online version, but it also has an App, and apparently here it is not as big of a deal for students to have their phones in school. As long as they don't have them out during class they are allowed to have their phones on them, and use them during class changes and breaks. So, they just check the Magister App to see what the schedule says, which is fine for them, but has been a HUGE pain for me because I don't have access to this program!!
So, I have been showing up late or to the wrong classroom etc. Especially this week because this week was the beginning of their last "period" similar to our nine weeks. It is now 4th period, or spring period, so they have a new spring schedule and I've completely missed the memo several times this week. What is particularly funny to me, is that none of my mentor teachers have bothered to fill me in, and don't seem phased when I show up half way through the lesson because no one told me the time or room had changed!!!
