School

Even though as children we wanted to graduate immediately so we wouldn’t have to go to school anymore, we can’t deny that, as adults, we miss that stage the most. Back then, life seemed simpler, without too many obligations. Now, we miss our friends, the snacks sold at the candy kiosks, the teachers and professors, and buying school supplies.

School is an important and transformational part of a child’s life, but that doesn’t make the daily “9 to 3” any easier. To be perfectly blunt, school can be tough and exhausting... and hilarious to watch... all at the same time.

Some celebrities knew each other long before becoming famous, and there’s a simple reason for that: they went to the same school together. These musicians, actors, and politicians shared their classrooms, had the same teachers, and took their exams next to each other when their names were still not known by everyone. There are some of them who remain good friends to this day. As for the others... Well, we have a hard time picturing them together.

New experiences, valuable lessons, and above all, a lot of fun, are what make school time an unforgettable experience. For kids, everything seems to be a bigger deal than what it actually is, we’ve all experienced it: the good stuff is amazing and has left some great memories, but the bad stuff was definitely terrible.

A still fragile and developing child has a more difficult time with stressful situations than an adult. Education is an important aspect of their development, but the strain it puts on their mental health is sometimes too overwhelming. Skipping school might seem like the wrong thing to do, but apparently it has its benefits. For example, a relaxed, rested, and calm child can learn new information better and faster than those who continue working non-stop.

Ironing, sewing, and cooking are basic tasks that most people learn at home. But it’s totally different when a school offers this as an additional class, so that the students, particularly boys, build values in regards to gender equality and break the stigmas they face when doing these activities. That’s what the Montecastelo School of Spain teaches its students: “Equality is learned with facts.”

School is our second home, and people who work there try their best to make it cool and interesting. And sometimes these ideas and inventions are so cool that school becomes a special place that encourages creativity, makes students’ lives way easier, and makes the learning process fun. And we bet that these students love their schools so much, they want to stay there forever.

School days might be challenging not only for children but for their parents as well. In this article, we invite you to challenge yourself right before the new school year: refresh your knowledge with this school program and try to remember how many oceans there are on Earth and what the prefix of “hecto” means.

It’s difficult to fathom that some children born in 2008 will start school this year. And for that reason, it’s time to admit that you’re probably almost a dinosaur to them and even for older school kids.

At school, I was almost the only child who got pocket money from the parents. I could keep track of my expenses, treat my friends with goodies or even to save up for presents for my loved ones. Therefore, when my son went to the first grade, I decided, without thinking much, that I will give him pocket money so he could buy all sorts of things. However, this didn’t go really well at first.

Childhood memories are little pieces of the past that stay with us forever. They can be joyful, for example, when you remember a summer in the countryside, or sad when old offenses come to mind.

Blending families can be tricky, especially for children who suddenly have a new stepmom or stepdad. It’s a big adjustment to accept someone new in their lives. But when the parent’s new partner is patient and kind, it can lead to something beautiful.

For children, having a stepmother or stepfather may be a challenge. After all, it’s not easy to accept a stranger as a family member.

Psychological tests can sometimes leave even adults feeling stumped. But kids, with their unique way of thinking, often find surprising solutions, even if they can be a little perplexing. While a child’s drawings or answers might seem unusually dark, it doesn’t always indicate something troubling.
