Meetings have been held and the new headphones packed to the backpack. Heading home, with a pit stop at a Subway to get a foot-long for lunch and to say hi to the younger daughter who has been ”getting familar with work life”1 at that Subway for the past 2 weeks.
In Finland the 8th and 9th graders have a ”work” period as a compulsory part of their education so that they get to see what kind of things adults do for living. That will hopefully help them make up their minds what they want to do after school.
