I did not understand that, because that education is for children with very different problems.\u2019 Christine did not accept this. \u2018I filed a complaint with the disputes committee about the Partnership Tailored Education. But that also led nowhere, because I was told that the staff did their work well within their limits.\u2019 It made Christine discouraged. \u2018Isn\u2019t it the Partnership Tailored Education\u2019s job to offer the child the right education? It is so bureaucratic. The child should come first but that did not happen.\u2019<\/p>\n<h3><strong>School for Personal Education<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Her eldest son Leon started just before the lockdown at the School for Personal Education in Utrecht. The school, which later became controversial, seemed ideal with its focus on small scale. But it went differently. \u2018Leon is very academic and was a loner there. He wanted to learn and was very mature in that effort. It was very frustrating that he did not really fit in that class. And then the lockdown came on top.\u2019 The school made many mistakes according to Christine. \u2018It was so chaotic. They had no plan for digital lessons. As a 13-year-old he got 200 emails in the first weeks. The teachers had no idea how to best give assignments and hold video calls.\u2019 The limit was quickly reached. \u2018Other students started sharing horrible videos during lessons. It became clearer that Leon was stressed out. I contacted the school but got no help. I had to find a solution myself.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>At the same time, her youngest son Reuben was in group 7 of special education cluster 4. \u2018He is a very social and creative child, but at some point he completely shut down.\u2019 This showed mainly in his behavior. \u2018He wore his headphones and hood and lived in his own world. He was in a class with children who all had very different problems. There was no individual support.\u2019 The results lagged behind. \u2018He should be able to do pre-university education but according to the tests he was at the level of Practical education track. Reuben only does something if he is interested. Otherwise he shuts down. You cannot force him to learn something.\u2019<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"call_to_action","selecteer_call_to_action":"gerelateerde_onderwerpen_lijst","berichten_met_prioriteit":false,"download_pdf":false,"veelgestelde_vragen_verwijzing":{"titel":"","knop_tekst":"","url":""}},{"acf_fc_layout":"meer_informatie_links","linkjes":false},{"acf_fc_layout":"quote","quote_tekst":"I enrolled the boys at a school for democratic education.

There are no mandatory subjects. Children sign up for lessons if they are interested. We were in lockdown and I thought: we have nothing to lose.\u2019 The boys could start right away for a trial month. \u2018It was a success. They made friends right away.\u2019 The teaching method appealed to Christine immediately. \u2018Learning is not linear. You learn better when you are really ready. At the start of each period there is a lesson market and students can sign up for lessons. From learning to play a musical instrument to regular subjects.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Her youngest son Reuben is happy there. \u2018He is in domain 2 and the education really focuses on interests without focusing on exams. Now he can still be a child. Actually he spends a lot of time on computer games like Minecraft or Dungeons and Dragons. That is also a learning moment for him: planning, prioritizing, problem solving, communication, strategy and creativity \u2013 it all comes back. He also has a close group of friends at school and enjoys going there.\u2019 At a democratic school, students can stay until they are 22 years old. There is no guarantee of a diploma. Students only move to the next step when they are ready. \u2018Leon was ready for the next step and he is doing well too. He is in domain 3 and makes plans to get his pre-university diploma. He does not take subjects at the same time, but really focuses on one subject per exam. He wants to go to university eventually, but he does not know yet what he wants to become.\u2019<\/p>\n<h3>Advice<\/h3>\n<p>What advice can Christine give other parents? \u2018Look at your child. What does he need? You find out sooner what does not work than what does. But don\u2019t get discouraged and keep looking until you find a solution. It is not about numbers and diplomas. The most important thing is that your child is in a safe place.\u2019 According to her, it is about the right priorities. \u2018I don\u2019t say this education is right for every student. But it is definitely something for parents to try. Social identity is important for a teen, he wants to know who he is. That social and emotional development is more important than a diploma.\u2019 She has a clear message for politicians. \u2018Make more forms of education inclusive. This education costs us about 5000 euros per year. Why is this education not included in the system? Every child learns differently. Some children just need more time.\u2019<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_9373\" style=\"width: 560px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-9373\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-9373\" src=\"https:\/\/oudersenonderwijs.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Foto-Christine-Jones-zoons2-250x141.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"550\" height=\"310\" srcset=\"https:\/\/oudersenonderwijs.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Foto-Christine-Jones-zoons2-250x141.jpg 250w, https:\/\/oudersenonderwijs.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Foto-Christine-Jones-zoons2-700x394.jpg 700w, https:\/\/oudersenonderwijs.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Foto-Christine-Jones-zoons2-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/oudersenonderwijs.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Foto-Christine-Jones-zoons2-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/oudersenonderwijs.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Foto-Christine-Jones-zoons2-scaled.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/oudersenonderwijs.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Foto-Christine-Jones-zoons2-120x68.jpg 120w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" \/><\/p>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-9373\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Christine Jones\u2019 two sons<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h3><strong>About Staat van de Ouder<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Staat van de Ouder is an annual publication by Ouders &#038; Onderwijs about what parents think of Dutch education.
