Schools schools schools
I've been more quiet lately because I have a lot on my mind, but also because my weekends seem to be filled with ordinary things that blocked our agenda. The weekends in February were filled with 8 open doors of secondary schools in Leuven. We've visited most of them already last year, but I wanted Kabouter to really have the chance to compare, have them actively in his mind , be able to ask comparing questions to students etc. Next week he needs to log in to the general system and make a priority list of his schools of choice and in the month of May the computer system will assign his secondary school to enroll.
Aaaah the end of elementary school is coming so close.
But so I walked my feet sore , I read so many information panels, I listened to guiding students and teachers, I noticed so many traditional tiled hallways and staircases, ...
We ate pancakes in multiple schools, played chess, did some test Latin classes, guessed scientific riddles, ... I noticed that all schools boast fun activities, they all have noon activities (usually a sports, a craft and a quiet activity at minimum but even have such exotic activities as bee keeping etc...), have student integration days, ...
The more I visited, the less I felt the difference between them beside the physical surroundings. Now it's up to Kabouter to pick an order in his top 4. I'm so curious what it'll become and what his future school will be. Still weird that the computer algorithm will decide, but fortunately there's no bad schools in Leuven.

Is inderdaad wel heel spannend zo.
Bij ons start de aanmelding vandaag en de dochter heeft zaterdag haar rangschikking gemaakt. Na hééééééél lang twijfelen, wat ons allemaal de nodige stress heeft gegeven. Ik wou eigenlijk dat ze naar de school gaat van haar broer, wat een megagoede kleinschalige school is en niet te ver, en dan zijn er nog twee katholieke scholen (minder mijn ding) quasi om de hoek. Maar neen, zij heeft voor de verste school gekozen haha, en een grote school, helemaal anders dan haar broer. Maar eindelijk gedaan met al de opendeurdagen en infoavonden en snuffelstages, amai, ben ik niet rouwig om.
