Editorial

Another school year has passed and we are back with a brand new issue of Potpourri. This year has been special in a way. Our school has entered its adulthood and celebrated its last teenage year as well. Yes, our school is already nineteen years old and it has a great anniversary ahead. So what has happened during this spectacular year? We have organized and enjoyed many al-ready traditional events, including Halloween,

We have once again travelled the world, from the US to near-by Poland. In this issue of Potpourri you can

on these pages of Potpourri. I hope you will enjoy reading it and that we have covered all or at least a majority of events which have occurred during the last 10 months. On the behalf of the whole Editorial staff, I would like to thank everyone who has partici-pated on the creation of this issue of our yearbook. Thanks to all the students who have shared their views, opinions, photos and who have contributed with their articles. I cannot forget to mention Miss

with the preparation of this year’s Potpourri. And a great thanks goes, of course, to all of you for invent-ing, organizing, travelling, providing us with material and keeping us busy with writing articles. May is supposed to be the month of love. However, this year it has resembled a month of end-less rain instead. So we have decided to use this issue of Potpourri to convey the message of love in all its forms to you, focusing especially on what we, students, love on the student life. I hope you’ll enjoy it!

With love

I know it sounds more like a village than a city, but it actually has its own municipal govern-ment, court system, public works department, two police forces, and is the primary headquarters for the county government as well. It’s a sleepy little Southern city, but I love it despite its many shortcomings.

When I de-cided in university that I wanted to study abroad for a year, I honestly had no idea where I should go. I had previously stud-ied in Italy for a summer, so I considered trying to go back there, but I just felt like I needed to try something different. I got the feeling that I wanted to go somewhere that no one I knew had ever

Masaryk University, as well, very much impressed me, as they seemed to have a great reputation, a developed international student culture, and a wide range of course offerings in English. I ultimately chose to apply there, and was very pleased when I was accepted for the year-long program. Thus

Disrespect. In my part of the United States, good manners and respect are some of the most important values that we are raised with. We call women “ma’am” or

“miss” and men “sir.” We always, instinctively, say

-ondary school for boys. The school was multi-cultural as there was one other Slovak and a Ukrainian student. What is special about the schools in Ireland is that all the pupils have to wear school uniforms, mobile phones are prohib-ited in lessons and everyday in the morning the deputy

principal comes to each class group and writes the names of people that are absent from school. School starts at

children to and from school.One thing I liked in Ireland was chemistry classes on Wednesdays when we did experiments. However if you

-tion the chemistry teacher would make you write it up to thirty times, depending on the number of words it contained. I liked the fact that stu-dents could choose the subjects they wanted to do. What I liked the most about the educational system is that there are two weeks of holidays for

-ary. The best of all is three months of summer holidays.There are just only three weeks left

for me in Ireland. All I can say now is that it all happened so fast and I can’t wait to see my family and friends from school. I really appreciate that they stayed in touch with me and they did not forget about me.

Vermont,,Probably the most astonishing thing about Putney was that everybody was weird, including

teachers and other people who work at Putney.”

When I left for Putney School in Vermont, progressive independent school where students take care of farm ani-mals in the morning and work with their teach-ers as if they were best friends for the rest of the day, little did I know how different would it be when compared to schools in Slovakia.

Probably the most astonishing thing about Putney was that everybody was weird, including teachers and other people who work at Putney. Yet the majority was willing to admit their weirdness, there were some exceptions, who were just too “cool” to do so. But, that’s just how it works everywhere. Regardless of the amount of coolness you possess, all have to work to keep the community working. Putney students have to get work job credits in order to graduate. Among the credited jobs are barn

about their jobs, I enjoyed it very much and think that it’s a wonderful part of Putney’s progressive education. Another thing that makes Putney so different is the art department. Students not only have the opportunity to pursue their favorite kind of art during their academic time, I took music intensive and music theory, they are also required to attend evening art classes, which range from music, dance, sculpture, blacksmithing, jewelry to pot-tery and stained glass. I myself think that this is one of the best parts of the Putney School. I used the term one of the best parts, intentionally, because there’s some-thing that’s even more rad. Imagine that the last week of each semester would be devoted to work on projects of your own interest, whether they are academic or non-academic, imagine that there would

what Putney people refer to as a Project Week. You write your own proposal and if it gets approved you are good to go and have fun with you project. It might be writing a paper on some political issues or a book you like, or building a geodesic dome, making jewelry, writing songs, making a sword, creating documentary or getting ready for marathon. You can do whatever you want, as long as you can prove that it relates to your current curriculum. Basically, it is a small dream come true and without a doubt the most favorite part of the school year for all Putney students.

I don’t know if I should continue or not, but there are still some pretty awesome things to tell you about. I promise that this will be the last one, though. I bet all of you guys

trips you can choose to go on. That most of them involve camping or hiking, and the rest of them are about rock climbing, canoeing or biking. Would you be excited? Because I was excited for this trip since the beginning of the year and now that it’s over I can’t believe it. I got addicted to crack climbing and nothing else mattered to me

might get through perfectly organized defences of our la-ziness and ignorance, which has lasted for four years, we

we are kind of smart and when it comes to improvisa-tion, we are half-pros. But let’s hope that we are going to be needing as little of that as possible. After all, the four years we have spent listening to, sometimes maybe a tad boring, but always important, lessons of Slovak and Eng-

lish must have planted a seed of relevant information and curiousness for more in all of us. Due to the patience of our teachers, and their incredible ability to repeat a thing

it properly, we will all be able to climb over the fence. Maybe we are going to need a little help. Maybe, we will tear our shirts a bit. Some may even rip their clothes apart. But I am absolutely sure that a week from now, we will all meet on the other side, of the fence, of course, and that we will be able to say, I passed my maturita!Thank you for your attention, and without further ado, let the examination begin!
