New Zealanders usually start their studies on their birthdays rather than waiting for the opening.
The way to organize classes in Kiwi is very special, does not focus on the type of knowledge that is based on the ability of each student and divided into small groups.
Thanks to that, the good kids will not feel bored learning. Those who are trying harder will not be disappointed with themselves but discouraged.
The motto of the school is that students must learn other skills when they are out and have fun. Therefore, doing homework is not recommended.
"Of course, there will be students who find it difficult to study at school. Career orientation for these students is very important and so you still feel good to society. As in Jayden's elementary school, there are grandparents retiring to school as volunteers to read with little children reading slowly, "she said.
New Zealand students are encouraged to develop their passions. Most of New Zealand's elementary and secondary schools apply Strength-based Learning, which is based on the strengths of individual students.
This means that if students are confident of their ability in any field (music, painting, sports, information technology, cooking, photography ...) and personal ability to be discovered, the confidence that will spread to the lifestyle, behavior in society and the study of other subjects.
Lien shared that Jayden was a witness. When I spend a lot of time and passion for the music, I also worry about the unbalanced balance of other activities that are essential for life such as learning about culture, sports, cooking, going out with family. family and friends and so on
But to school, Jayden also demonstrated his ability in many other subjects such as Math, Literature, Badminton ...
Personality education is a top priority
A good example of the preference for early childhood skills and habits for New Zealand children is the eight characteristics and ethical values applied in primary schools in New Zealand.
In 1 year there are 4 semesters, each one will apply a moral value.During the responsibility term, students will learn songs with the Responsibility theme. Writings, poems, drawings are also on this topic. The duration of the 8 to 10 week session is always to promote responsibility, responsibility for yourself, school, class, and so on.
When Jayden was in high school, the report sent to her parents weekly that she received was not a report of academic performance but a report of the school's sense and behavior.
This report contains items that assess Jayden's rapport with his peers, his attention to classroom work, Jayden's sense of responsibility for assignments and assignments, leadership, and self-control. They are learning and working in school.
"New Zealand respects young people who are committed to integrating into the community. They appreciate talent, but also encourage humility. "
The teacher is your friend.
There is one more thing that she is very close to being a New Zealand teacher who appreciates the students. They create conditions for students to have their say, respecting the views of young people.
There are freezing days, snow and rain, and I see the principal and vice principal of Jayden College standing outside in the street to help students pass safely. Almost every day they stand like that. They try to learn and memorize each student's name. They listened to the kids talking about headless things, but they remembered the next day and they asked the children about the story they had heard. Such small things really made me so moved.
In grade six, Jayden went camping with his friends for a week without a parent. Laws do not bring the phone, do not call home. On the third day, she received a message from a teacher in charge. She said she only wanted to tell her parents that Jayden was homesick and a bit "moody." But she said parents do not worry because she was sitting with Jayden one evening.
Ms. Lien recalled: "When he came back, Jayden told me that she had lured her out of the lawn. The girls lay on the grass and looked up at the starry sky. She told Jayden to text her, telling her she was homesick. If you miss mom, just tell her and she'll text you and read your mother's message. "
New Zealand's education has succeeded in becoming the world's number one provider of future skills for young people. For Lien, the greatest success is to build a cohesive and humane society where each profession is respected, where each individual is happy with his or her work, , ethnicity, religion as Lien family are always welcome.
