Information about reviewer:
Did the Breul experience six years at the VWO, was a member of an internal student organization (such as the student council or the VLIB) and did so until the end of 2018. Reviewer is now studying Organizational Sciences.

De Breul was, until the 'Rector Dance Dance' (around 2015) started, a beautiful and structured school. At that time many pupils had great respect for the school and the good organization. However, there is now nothing more to see.
De Breul now 'lives' on the remains of that time. The fact is that every year the Breul can look at the bottom of the treasure chest little by little. Many things changed during the many rector exchanges, where a great deal of money was spent on things that did not necessarily have to be done (for example, television screens and iPads in gyms, expensive systems such as OneNote that were not used, laptops for students, but not the ones technicians who could / could supervise them). In addition, certain areas have remained completely disadvantaged (all those new MacBooks are of course beautiful, but all the methods that are used are still out of the book, but there were also tensions resulting in excessive 'food battles' or frequent bullying). Certain issues are still not out of the world. My problem with the Breul was simply the non-watertight plan.
Now rector Ferry happily came up with a new idea, a renovation of the entire school system, with the primary goal of helping the Breul break out of the financial abyss (at least that's what some people say internally, no idea if it's really true). In doing so, the Breul is heading for Jenaplan education, which is done as if it were the solution for all previous problems. However, the question is whether this will actually happen, because there is still no approval from the Education Inspectorate (Ferry, why do you proclaim this as truth?), And it does not look as if that approval will come soon. The idea has also been created with very specific teachers (alpha and gamma teachers, the beta section is entirely left to its own fate). I wonder what the future of the Breul is.

I noticed that my fellow pupils at the VWO ran into the same things and therefore want to speak partly on their behalf, but it must be understood that (TL) HAVO can experience it very differently. Also the Breul started a new year and my last findings are already a few months old. Still my advice; make years if you are at the Breul, but if you still have to make the choice I would take it easy with the Breul and wait for what will eventually happen.
