le 14 juillet

C'est la fete

 

Why is 14 July such a special day in France?

 

Activities week, German style

Klassenfahrten und Kurstreffen

Class trips are called a Klassenfahrt in German. The whole class travels together generally every two or three years starting in the 5th or 6th grade. Popular destinations include Spain, France, Berlin and Prague. Students experience culture and history.

A get-together of all of the students and the teacher of a specific course, called a Kurstreffen, takes place in the Sixth Form. A course, e.g.the music class in Year 12, will meet up at someone's house or a bar, drink a beer, and converse.The Kurstreffen illustrates a few differences between Germany and Britain. Germans deal with alcohol completely differently. In Germany, beer and wine are legal at age 16, spirits at age 18. It's not unusual for teenagers to have a few drinks with adults.It's really just a matter of different perspectives.

What do you think of Klassenfahrten and Kurstreffen? Would it be good for classes at UK schools to travel for a week, or is it unfair to expect that all of the students pay so much to travel? Do course get-togethers blur the line between school life and personal life too much? Do these two activities contribute to a better school community?
