Finnish small school!






We went to observe a typical finnish school. And i learn this few things about Finland:

- They don't mind when students like us, visit a school. Doors are still open and we can enter when we want.

- We can notice that we are very late because when you see the reporting "Etre et avoir" about the small school in France and you compare this with this school here...you make someone hallucinate! Indeed, they have a big big school for 18 pupils, good materials, and everything....Incredible!

- They can't surpass 100 km/h in a highway! So diferent when you think that in France it's 130 km/h!!

- THEY DON'T USE ANY LIGHT IN WINTER!!! A lot of people in France or in Spain think that, but it's WRONG!!! I asked and they don't use this kind of things for not deject!

- They like the silent! They don't used to speak during the meal, and they hate the noisy...So spanish people don't speak so loudly please!! Do not disturb the finnish silent! Thanks!!

- Finnish people like when foreigners do some effort tp speak finnish. I counted all the number forward 100 in front of my finnish family this sunday....and they really liked that i was very interest to learn suomi!

- They don't like ( i think it's better to say: "they hate") swedish people! In the western part a lot of people speak swedish. And they also don't like very much russian people..i think they are afraid about them. They had their independance in December, 6th, 1917.

- Finnish pupils are so free that when it's time to a break they can go to forest alone and play where they want. Nobody supervise them!! And every morning, when i wake up, i can see them playing "Orientation". It's a kind of play: you have a map and you need to find a card. all the finnish pupils have this course in their school. It's very important in Finland, because they have a lot of forest...it's a survival lecturer!



In the last photo, it's a shack, near to the school. And you can see the view they have in the school...it's impress!
