Re: Schools, teachers, kids and parents. Education in general.

Just got the "retta" for my daughter's nido and it's €100 a month less than last year! OK, that means we're poor, but still, yay!

However, she did mention that her sister-in-law studied at Bologna then had trouble finding a job in the UK because "they want to see Manchester, etc.). So I guess maybe some other unis are OK after...

Re: Schools, teachers, kids and parents. Education in general.

Well yes, as a comprehensive school and University of Leeds-educated individual I wasn't sure what to say to that! Mind you a British friend here went to Oxford and thinks it's funny to go on about...

Re: Schools, teachers, kids and parents. Education in general.

I met an Italian lady yesterday who has just moved back here having spent half her life in the UK. She has a one-year-old and kept stressing that they were only here for a few years, they'll be going...

Re: Schools, teachers, kids and parents. Education in general.

Well personally I'm thinking of enrolling myself in my daughter's nursery. They have a two-course lunch at 11 a.m. (I'm starving by 10.30) then they all have a nice lie down for a couple of hours....

Re: Schools, teachers, kids and parents. Education in general.

Oh I see! What a palaver. I'll take that as a warning should I be mad enough to apply for a masters here but given that I'm hoping to leave the country soon (and will soon have two small children) I...

Re: Schools, teachers, kids and parents. Education in general.

Oh I see. So you do already speak German to degree level! In that case I guess I'm wondering why you're bothering getting the same degree twice! Why not a masters in something that interests you?

Re: Schools, teachers, kids and parents. Education in general.

Well I guess it depends on Mark's level of German (and French?). I "knew" French and some Italian before I went to university but certainly not to degree level.

I don't know about your course...

Re: Schools, teachers, kids and parents. Education in general.

I think the point is that most Italian schools don't teach music, cooking, etc. so this is a plus. They will of course teach literacy and numeracy!

And yes, I think you'll have more luck in a few...

How do Italian university fees compare to British ones?

Re: Schools, teachers, kids and parents. Education in general.

Very true. That must be such a pain. What did the single teachers do? Call mamma and papà presumably.

Re: Schools, teachers, kids and parents. Education in general.

I used to do some teaching work at universities when I lived in France. They pay you twice a year, the first lump sum is in March or April, the second in August!

Re: Schools, teachers, kids and parents. Education in general.

I don't really want to get into the debate as I have no experience of the Italian school system (my daughter is not yet two) but I do disagree with this. This is what my old (comprehensive) school...

Re: Schools, teachers, kids and parents. Education in general.

This friend (like most Italians in my experience!) is prone to exaggeration but I think she was serious in this case. She's told me the story several times.

The same friend is a French teacher in...

Re: Schools, teachers, kids and parents. Education in general.

I was under the impression they already had training now? My sister-in-law studied to become a teacher, but perhaps it was all theory and no practice. Now why does that surprise me?

An Italian...

Re: Schools, teachers, kids and parents. Education in general.

Are the schools on strike next Thursday where you are? I don't think our nursery is because it's "convenzionato", but the public nurseries and schools and our playgroup will all be striking.

Even the asilo nido seems to be open on Saturdays in the South. My in-laws were surprised that we weren't sending our one-year old to nursery on a Saturday!
