5 years ago, nobody was talking about it. Now everybody is: AI. It can write essays, create art, talk like a real person, and even drive cars. Honestly, its kind of crazy how it’s all happening so fast. Some people think AI is the best thing ever because it makes life so much easier. But others are scared that it’s going too far. They are scared that it might steal jobs or even start making decisions for us. Personally, I think AI is super useful, but also a little scary.

Every morning, students all over the world put on the same school uniform before heading to school. Some people, mostly the teachers and the parents, think uniforms help students show equality at school and focus on learning instead of one anothers clothes, while others say the uniforms take away the students' freedom to express themselves and show individuality. The argument about whether schools should have uniforms has been going on for a long time, and the teachers and students themselves still can not seem to agree. Even though school uniforms are meant to make things fair and organized, not everyone believes they actually help students have a better feeling about school.


The familiar buzz of a notification during class can even distract the most focussed student in the room. As smart phones become an inseparable part of life, schools, and teachers around the world are stuck with a question: should cell phones be banned in school? Once celebrated as a tool for communication and learning, phones have increasingly become the source of distraction. While there is growing evidence that a phone ban would lead to more academic success, others argue that banning cell phones limits freedom and digital literacy. In my opinion phones should not be banned, because they can serve as valuable educational tools, promote digital responsibility and improve communication between students, teachers and parents.


Did you know that the book “animal farm” was published just 3 days after the second world war ended? Animal farm is a book made by George Orwell, until this day animal farm still remains well-known. The book is about how a farm went from a simple manor farm to a farm completely handled by animals. Even though it is a story, you also learn a bit about politics. Animal farm should be a book that has to be read by kids in primary schools, so they learn a bit about politics, corruption and how to recognize corruption.


Fatbikes are allowed to drive as fast as cars in Weesp. You might not know this but fatbikes were actually invented back in 1980. Back then of course the fatbikes weren’t electric but nowadays they can go 30 kilometers per hour, just like all cars in Weesp. Fatbikes need te be adjusted with speed and the amount you have to use your feet because driving around at this speed on a bike is dangerous for the cycler and the people around it
