school subjects

i forgot to mention, 1-5 grade kids have one teacher and 6-9 they have a professor for each subject. case worker? is that the professor who is responsible for one class or? counseling is non-existing here, except if you're problematic. and library is like reading books and talking about them? that's included in mother language.

@aureategloom so a case working is a resource teacher another way of day special education teacher that teaches and works with kids special needs and learning disabilities. They are not the main teacher just a teacher that is like an assistant teacher and take care of all those in that grade that have IEP. They do have assistance teacher or helpers that come in to help the main teacher so all students take get some from of one on one. Councling is part of our counties not all schools way or helping build a more a rounded child. They talk about emotions how to socially interact with people and solve problems. They also allow the kids to talk to them as need incase things are going on at home. They also offer assistance with certain behavior. Middle child went for a year for anger and learning how to calm himself down when he gets to that point. In elementary Library they get read to, learning certain things about how the library works, how to find books, how to cite books if your using them in a paper. This also allows the kids to pick a book for 2 weeks to read they can have up to 2-3 depending on age and behavior. Not all students have books at home to read. The upper grades like middle school and high school do not have library days but they are open during the school day for kids to check out books other wise you only see kids in there to study or get more books on a subject they are learning for class or projects.

@ShyBear88 that's amazing. professionals who work with kids with difficulties in learning don't work in school because by the law there has to be 8 kids with difficulties FOR ONE PROFESSIONAL - which makes no sense, but that's how it is. and you have special schools for kids with difficulties in learning. and that's it. i know what counseling is - but that's not common here either. there are pedagogues in school, but they don't pay much attention to emotions, conflicts and such. most of them are on positions because of political party and they work only with kids with bad behavior - not paying attention to ones who are anxious or isolated. and library is part of mother language here - you learn grammar and you get books you HAVE TO read and write about them in two or three weeks and then the professor talks to kids about it and they get grades. it's not something kids can choose, they have to do it. i guess that's why some kids hate reading, because they're forced to do it and then their understanding of that book is being graded and they're valued based on that. hope things change here.

and what comes after 10th grade? you choose high school or? you only got to choose subjects in Gimnazija (high school) here - if you want to be focused on math, languages or social relations.

@ThatDisha that's okay. we have different high schools: gymnasium, medicine, pharmacist, tourism, economics, something for woods - 4 years. mechanics, welders, hairstylists, seller, tailor, driver - 3 years. and maybe i forgot some.

@aureategloom we join a high school where the subjects are categorised into 3 streams Science, commerce and arts

@aureategloom No I really can`t remember. Long time

there were so many or?

do you think it's too much?

that's a lot of subjects too... what is saints? i think it's bad that kids here don't get to choose their passion but honestly... my "passion" back then is kinda different from my passion at the end of my high school. so maybe it's not that bad to take all of subjects even the ones that don't interest you.
