First camper parent sleeps for two weeks at school

Mechelen With two weeks to go until the tenders, is now already the first tent to the school of Freinetschool Villa Zonnebloem in Mechelen. The family of little Annabel was setting a rotating basis for the next fourteen days. “It is perhaps absurd that we do this, but it is equally absurd that the system forces us to here to sleep for a place at the school”, says Chantal De Vroe.

On Friday 26 april at 8.30 pm is the day: then can parents help their children to register at Villa Sunflower. After the pre-registrations for siblings of students and children of staff of the school, there are still 6 places available for indicatorleerlingen and 2 for non-indicatorleerlingen. In the Freinet-establishment of The House there are 2 places for indicatorleerlingen and even no more place for non-indicatorleerlingen.

Because the parents of Annabel is not the risk wanted to walk next to one of the two free places for their daughter to grab, mobilized the whole family. Friday was Chantal De Vroe -the aunt of Annabels mum - on the wall next to the school on the Berthoudersplein. “Annabel lives in Sint-Katelijne-Waver, belgium, with two schools near home. But her parents are very conscious for Freinetonderwijs, and the closest school is Villa Sunflower. We noticed immediately that this is for them very important, and could with our big family, then also a rotating basis to work on that. Two days ago, Wednesday, we went of to start.”
