As was well established in the previous weeks and then recently confirmed by the Minister of Education, Radovan Fuchs, school classes would return today to start the second semester of school. Despite the record increase in positive cases of coronavirus, especially after the Christmas and New Year celebrations and in the midst of the omicron variant, the Ministry of Education confirmed that the classes would be given face-to-face throughout the country. Until now, they reported, they had not received any requests from any school to teach virtual classes. This exception would be given to those schools that, due to the omicron variant, had limited staff to teach classes from the classroom.
The news is good for the Ministry itself, which ensures that face-to-face classes are essential to ensure quality education and for the emotional well-being of students, something that surely sounds just as good for teachers and parents. However, we wonder, how do students feel about it?
When it comes to high school students, we imagine that after the Christmas and New Years’ break, they wish they were still resting at home. The chilly temperatures in the middle of winter can be a turn-off for getting back to school. However, as eMeđimurje reports, Čakovec high school teachers have come up with a great idea to receive their students in the best way and raise their spirits to face a new school semester.
The teachers of the Josip Slavenski High School in Čakovec came up with an interesting idea and delighted everyone. In an original and funny way, they wished the students a happy return to school after the winter holidays. Teachers from the Čakovec Gymnasium decided to cosplay some of the most famous characters in film and TV series.
”ET still wants to go home, the blonde from Harvard breaks stereotypes, Peaky Blinders spread fear and trepidation… No, don’t be afraid, you’re not stuck on a holiday binge! Your teachers, disguised as heroes from famous films and series, are waiting for your return. They want to show you that, despite all the challenges they pose to you, they are just people, cheerful, and well-intentioned. Welcome back to school in 2022 and we wish it will be a great year for everyone!”, reads the message for their students.
