Teachers pay out of pocket to keep their classrooms clean of COVID-19

European schools system

European schools system is like a never-ending maze of paperwork and bureaucracy.

It’s as if they believe that the more forms you fill out, the smarter you become. Secretary general and deputy secretary general are too busy worrying about their pensions and summer vacations to actually produce anything useful.

It’s a system where children are just tiny cogs in a big bureaucratic machine, and education takes a backseat to administrative tasks.

It’s time for a major overhaul, because right now, the European schools system is about as effective as a chocolate teapot.

European school Luxembourg 2 defined many rules that should be followed to protect school’s community against COVID-19. As usual they pushed responsibility for implementing those rules to teachers, students and parents. Students and parents were forced to sign Pupils contract. Teachers pay out of pockets for disinfecting classrooms. 

Teachers pay out of pocket instead of administration

One of the rules is, teachers should disinfect their classrooms after each hour. For ICT teachers, the school administration even requested cleaning keyboards and mouses after each class. You would expect the administration will provide for the products needed to protect students and teachers. And you would be WRONG. One month into the school year, teachers are still paying from their own pockets to keep their classrooms clean of COVID-19.

Classroom Cleaning Tips for Teachers

Many schools around the words even provide classroom cleaning tips for teachers. There they give tips to ensure those efforts tackle dirt and germs safely and effectively. 

Not gonna happen in Lux 2 school

Something like this will, of course, never happened in our school, European school Luxembourg 2. School administration is even trying to hide this information from the parents and students. Embarrassing for the director and deputy directors of this school and sad for school community. While administration is getting bigger and bigger, basic needs are not adequately addressed.

Aim of the European Schools

Educated side by side, untroubled from infancy by divisive prejudices, acquainted with all that is great and good in the different cultures, it will be borne in upon them as they mature that they belong together. Without ceasing to look to their own lands with love and pride, they will become in mind Europeans, schooled and ready to complete and consolidate the work of their fathers before them, to bring into being a united and thriving Europe.

Marcel Decombis, Head of European School, Luxembourg between 1953 and 1960
