High school and FOS graduating students return to their classrooms on Monday.
The schools in the district are well prepared, but opinions are divided.
District - "It is absolutely necessary that the Q12 comes again," said Peter Meyer, headmaster of the Christoph-Probst-Gymnasium in Gilching on Friday.
The 160 prospective high school graduates are particularly troubled anyway: “They had to survive the lockdown in spring 2020.” From Monday, the high school students will take turns on the weekdays.
That means half of them come on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays and the following week on Tuesdays and Thursdays, the other half the other way around.
"The parents wanted it that way," says Meyer.
Peter Meyer from the CPG: "The load is heavy"
He himself also thinks this principle makes sense.
"Then the pupils are not always at home for a whole week." Up to 60 of the 120 teachers at the CPG are integrated into the system.
“Some of the colleagues will stream the class.
You face a twofold challenge, ”said the headmaster.
Teachers who alternately teach the lower levels in Q12 and then online would have to switch back and forth.
Meyer thinks the load is heavy, so he would have wished for the carnival holidays for the teachers.
Meyer is particularly happy about the fact that the CPG will actually be supplied with fiber optics from Monday.
And he is happy that life is returning to school.
There is also anticipation at the Otto von Taube Grammar School in Gauting.
"Everyone is on board," says Senior Studies Director Sylke Wischnevsky.
The discipline of attendance among the students was higher than ever before the second lockdown.
“The big ones are happy to be able to come back.
Everyone who can also wants to come to school. ”105 pupils will be taught alternately in Gauting from Monday onwards.
The carnival holidays are therefore not an issue, certainly not for the headmistress.
“When I was a schoolgirl, there was no carnival break at all.” However, she admits that the burden on teachers who work in two directions is particularly high.
Gymnasium Tutzing: 113 pupils are taught alternately from Monday
Tutzing's deputy headmaster Henry Steinhäuser wouldn't have thought much of going straight from distance learning to vacation.
113 pupils are taught alternately from Monday and can be well distributed.
“Since they only appear in half strength, most can stay in their classes.” But there is enough space.
In some cases, lessons are taught in parallel via stream in order to take away the half who work at home.
Josef Parsch also sees his students and teacher colleagues well prepared for alternating lessons.
“Alternating classes are nothing new to us.
We have long since divided the senior year into two categories and are technically well equipped, ”says the headmaster of the Starnberg high school.
Much more exciting for him is the question of “how things will continue from February 15”.
Around 100 schoolchildren come to face-to-face classes on a daily basis, starting on Monday.
Only for the exams will everyone be present at the same time.
"The necessary distances can be maintained in the gym, this is approved," says Parsch.
Headmaster of the Landschulheim Kempfenhausen: "Changing lessons is the worst possible solution"
On the other hand, Elmar Beyersdörfer describes alternating lessons as the “worst possible solution”.
The headmaster of the rural school home in Kempfenhausen, where 75 schoolchildren want to complete their Abitur this year, considers hybrid teaching to be “not a happy form” of imparting knowledge.
“The alternate lessons have to be synchronized, then there will be no teachers for the lower classes,” says the senior studies director.
Anton Furtmayr from FOS Starnberg sees it similarly.
He has to prepare nine classes with around 24 students each for the technical or general high school diploma.
“It's a very laborious balancing act,” says the senior studies director, who organizes the alternating lessons on a weekly basis.
After all, “the six hours of face-to-face teaching cannot simply be transmitted one-to-one via video conference to the students who stay at home”.
For him it would have been “a charming solution to only bring the students in for class work”.
After all, the “distance lessons worked out great for us.
I am very satisfied with how the students stayed on the ball. "
