This time I would like to start writing
about schooling in Finland, which I was curious about. Before heading to the
school to see the pupils, I had talked with Finns about the most respected jobs here. It was proved
that teacher is absolutely on the list of best jobs in Finland, which provide
the guarantee of enough fresh blood to keep the Finnish educational system at
world class level.
During the last few weeks, I had gotten the
chances to visit different classes in Lapunmäki School and do some breaktime activities for the students. The first impression for
me is the courses students involved in are very practical. For example, The Home
Economics, which seems like one of the most popular courses in the school. As a compulsory
course for the 7th students, and an optional one for the 8th
and 9th students, this course provide the students with the chance to
learn culinary skills they could practice for life. I felt regretful that I didn’t
have this course when I was at their ages, otherwise I could have taken care of
myself and others much better J
Although I
have been cooking on my own quite often recent years (There is no choice L,under the condition of living alone), but still not a good cook. It
is “safe” way to observe them to practice their cooking skills. To make the
class a little bit different, I introduced the Chinese culinary
culture (including how to use chopsticks) and shared some snacks/tea from my
country. We continued the activities at Kukkula youth house on evening time.

By the way, woodworking
course is another interesting one,students could boost their creativity through
using different tools.

What’s more, there is nothing special with Lapunmäki
School looking from appearance at first sight, but from the inside, the high-tech
teaching methods gave me a surprise. When a school equipped with tablets for
students, big touchscreen for the classrooms, cloud platform for education
involving everyone in the school, I have to say the digital era brings the
conveniences people couldn’t imagine years ago. Of course, it could not happen
without the support from the municipality.
Konnevesi is a small town, but it doesn’t
mean there must be a boring life staying here. People can find quite a few
activities/interesting clubs to join easily, which is even more approachable
than the big cities I was living. The only issue is sometimes people lack of
interest/passion to join, but I can understand usually people get used to stay
in the comfort zone, me either J
Youth house seems always a popular place for the youngster to
have fun, every time I visited there, there were always a bunch of people. Besides
that, I also took part in the cooking club, hobby craft night and Christmas
Opening Event (can’t believe half inhabitants of Konnevesi did join, amazing!)
By
the way, I met a real Santa Claus here for the first time in my life, at
beginning I wrongly though someone from the local dressed up as Santa Claus. Please
forgive my un-professionalism, but I felt how important is Santa Claus to Finnish
people.
