Flemish preschoolers score very poorly on language and arithmetic, according to an international report published on Tuesday. Something that does not surprise kindergarten teacher Liz Huybrechts (34). “I can philosophize about death with my current toddlers, at my previous schools I was happy if they understood that we were going to the gym.” After the bad report, she points out two speeds that she experiences in Flemish nursery classes. “Sometimes no child could understand me at the beginning of the school year.”
