Parents of students at the Public VMBO and Mavo in Zeist cannot look at Magister during test weeks, says a spokesperson for Nuovo Schools, a school group with sixteen schools in the region. Not only parents watching cause stress, Minkema College notes. The idea that a grade can be posted online at any time gives students sleepless nights. That is why teachers only post grades online during school hours. That gives the students peace of mind, says Marieke Langeslag-Loomans, communications advisor at the school.
This is how schools deal with Magister stress: ‘It is not intended to be checked every day’
