We had our internship at the Albert Schweitzerschool in Curacao. This is a very big school. With 1000 childeren. The school start every day at 7:15 and end at 12:15. The most of the teachers are a 7:00 at school en they are leaving at 12:45. So do we. There were the same methods as in Holland. And also the same teaching materials. But they have got less materials then in Holland. The classes are often borrowing materials from eachother. The language of the school is Dutch. The most of the childeren are speaking Papiamento or Spanish at home. The time table of the week were almost the same as in Holland. They gave the same lessons with the same methods. So that was easy for me. The childeren have to take their scissors, glue and pencils by home.
The cultur of Curacao is different as in Holland. They most of the people are very friendly. In the first week we get lost with our car all the time. Many people were able to help us. Another difference is the relax modus. Everything is going much slower and relaxter than by us in Holland. They are never worrying. When it don't succeed today, they will try tomorrow. that's their institution. about the money. In curacao it's the same prices as in Holland. Only they have many Happy ours at the partys. In a happy our a drink is the helft of the price. They also have restaurants that are directed to students. there you can find a good meal for 5 euro. But the on the other side of Curacao there is a lot of criminality. You better never walk alone in the evening. Always go by car or with a group.
