Episcopal High School in Ostrava

Basically a normal gym with problems like any school. There is no doubt that reform would be appropriate, but there is still much to be learned.

Capable teachers and promising students are systematically trampled by incompetent or even counterproductive school management, which, drowning in formalism and rigidity, gradually eliminates from teaching all activities related to development and education, as well as anything that could students, even remotely , have fun. It is remarkable that there were still so many (less than 10!) Good teachers ... EDIT JANUARY 2019 Even educators have finally started to run out of patience and are gradually leaving school. Management has trouble finding compensation. It is logical that the level of the school, where virtually every educator is the salvation, is somewhat dubious.

What to say about this school ... it's been some time since I was gone ... The spirits were great and I had no feeling they would prefer believing students to the unbelievers. But what they could do from a school as a normal teacher did not seem like it ... I do not understand their self-confidence and the feeling of infallibility in the apparently subjective assessment of students. They make themselves the culmination of education, but they live in their bubble and they do not understand how bad they are talking about everywhere outside the school wall ... And it's a shame because it spoils the image of the church ... You are not there for your students ... you just for your ego.

I attended this institute for a little over 4 years. Even with the passage of time, without impulsive blindness, I can say with a pure heart that this school is a waste. If you held a different opinion than someone from the management and you were not afraid to say it out loud, there was no shortage of systematic extermination of your personality in the form of various restrictions, prohibitions of interrogations, false accusations and other similar practices. One felt like under communism. The headmistress is the most sympathetic person I have ever known. But I can't say that you won't get at least an average high school education here.

Many students hound this school. Let me mislead you that this school is not good. Exactly opposite. The school offers plenty of activities - whether events such as Masaryk's Day, Teachers' Day, the Academy, Schola concerts, various collections, project days, lectures, spiritual renewals and trips, tournaments and much more - will reach you with quality education. Yes, it is true that there is no surplus of good teachers, but I still have an excellent education. It is a gymnasium with the same content as any other. It is worth mentioning excellent lunches imported from PORG and mainly friendly atmosphere, which is very pleasant. Unfortunately, the management of our school is lagging behind. The director should think about herself :)))))) ... especially that we have a lift.

It's true that leadership is such an eeeee ... You should just think about yourself, BUT! Lots of teachers are really great. Although I didn't enjoy the subjects, I was really looking forward to them with specific professors. They can make an hour fun, they do the first one for us and for a pretty lousy salary (I think it would be great to change this). I really appreciate them for it and I will never stop remembering them. Many of them also try to fix the name of the school, which has been quite dirty by many people, create new circles, make school magazines, videos ... There are also a lot of great events and competitions at the school. I found friends there for life, even from the ranks of teachers (now, as a graduate, I can say that without SOMEONE firing the teacher). It would be great to chase the lead for someone younger and non-hypocritical, but above all innovative! Thanks so much for the great years!

❗❗❗ This school has a very poorly set up system that does not allow individuals to develop and express themselves as they would like. And this is not only on the part of the students, but also on the part of the teachers, who often have to teach according to the image of leadership. If there is "something that stands out" for you, such as your appearance, your opinions, desires or beliefs, and even orientation, you are often a "target" and the school management tries to silence you and formulate them in their image. If, even after hours of speaking to the soul (closing in the principal's office or in the cabinet without your parents), that your opinion is wrong and that something is wrong with you because you are not doing everything like everyone else, you will not start to change as required, school leadership will begin strive for your departure and it will start to make your studies really uncomfortable. The management of this school is completely unprofessional and students with problems (whether in the field of learning or, for example, problems in personal life that negatively affect their education) are not offered any help. Unfortunately, I know from personal experience that even students with epileptic or tetanic seizures were not given adequate help and even not even when I started massively bleeding from the sinuses in the principal's office with the headmistress and other management staff and had a tetanic seizure in front of their eyes. At that moment, the headmistress just told me, "Come on, stop playing." Although this school has had a negative impact on my self-confidence, self-love and self-development, I am very grateful to have had this experience, because now I know what kind of people I definitely do not want to surround myself with in the future. I just want to appeal to parents, especially children entering eight-year courses, to think about whether this school is the right choice for their children, as the psychological pressure on children under 15 by management is often really over the edge (management really can't communicate adequately with students) and if you want to enroll your child in this school, please check that the child is in a mental state. Management has often told me that I will achieve nothing and have no education. After four years of eight years of study, I left this school as a complete "loser", graduated with honors from a regular high school focused on psychology and pedagogy and successfully got to study psychology at Palacky University (I thank the principal in complete distrust of me, who mi was the driving force for the next line of years ??).

I left after two years of "studying". At a time when the school was supposed to move from Záběh, so it's been a long time. The teachers had almost no authority, and many were indeed very hypocritical. "Hypocrisy" is actually the main word that comes to mind in my memories. And also a very unfair and completely unprofessional way of evaluating pupils. When does a letter in geography contain the question "What is Kuwait's main export item?", To which I wrote "oil", the teacher did not acknowledge it and wrote "coal" ... And because only two letters (each with 4 questions) are written in half a year , so it will already quite significantly affect your rating. And not even a few encyclopedias brought with the teacher. It was different in our outdated textbook, so that's my answer wrong. This is no longer a "subjective evaluation", but a complete inability. When asked by my father at class meetings, this behavior is said to "gain authority". He didn't change my grade .. Well, and he didn't really gain that authority either, as it turned out in our class ... Teachers more or less kept making their work easier. A great tribute to the exceptions, such as Mr. Stuchlý, who has always had a human and respectful approach to students, as well as the necessary insight and humor. Unfortunately, most of the time you feel like you're the only weird person on the planet. If you stand out a little, you will start to have problems. Over time, I think even more that this approach was completely counterproductive, especially when working with such young people at the beginning of puberty. That I was concealed that I had won a literary competition organized by another grammar school and received as a prize a book ... which was sent in my name to the Bishop's Grammar School ... where she subsequently "got lost" ... and I won about the prize. she only found out a year later, when the organizers of the competition asked me how I liked my win last year, .. - it was just one of many escapades and many escapades that I managed to experience at BiGy in those two years. And in fact, it didn't surprise me in the whole context of that institution at that time. As for faith, which makes me sorry and most frightening at the same time - I came here open to the new, inquisitive and curious. I left the unbeliever and disappointed. I found the (institutionalized) faith (again) only in Austria, where they showed me that it could be done differently and answered me with humility and patience to all my questions, which (as I already know) almost every seeker asks. So: It really works, but he wants to keep it at least ten and have human, respectful, kind leadership towards people.
