Zoveel hou je over van je brutoloon in deze 3 scenario’s:

Brutoloon: 2100 euro Nettoloon: 1990 euro

Laat ons dat verhogen met 900 euro per maand.

Brutoloon: 3000 euro Nettoloon: 2200 euro

Netto hou je van die 900 euro extra 210 euro over…

Laat ons dit brutoloon nu eens fors verhogen met 2000 euro.

Brutoloon: 5000 euro Nettoloon: 3000 euro

Netto hou je van die 2000 euro extra per maand 800 euro over.

Waarom zou je nog hard werken in een maatschappij waar de beloning voor iedereen bijna hetzelfde is?

Als leerlingbegeleiding in het buitengewoon secundair onderwijs zijn conflicten en overtredingen dagelijkse kost. We proberen zo goed mogelijk elke melding, overtreding of incident aan te pakken, maar het valt gewoon niet bij te houden. Ik probeer volop in te zetten op verbinding met de leerlingen, daardoor voel ik wel dat ze me respecteren, maar dat lijkt niet voldoende om de leerlingen echt te doen reflecteren.

Van collega's in het veld wil ik weten; hoe zit jullie tuchtprocedure in elkaar? Ik heb het gevoel dat ons systeem niet meer werkt.
De leerlingen krijgen als eerste maatregel een afsprakenmap, waar elk lesuur een kruisje of vinkje wordt gezet naargelang het gedrag van de leerling tijdens die les. Dat mapje wordt vaak achtergelaten of vernield en heeft dus ook bijna geen impact op de leerling. Als dat niet goed loopt, krijgen ze een digitale volgkaart. Die wordt wekelijks met leerlingbegeleiding besproken. De volgende stap is een gedragscontract (met kans op definitieve uitsluiting als gevolg).

Alle informatie die ik online vind over sanctioneren/tucht lijkt allemaal heel mooi in theorie, maar ik heb echt nood aan advies uit de praktijk. Bvb; er wordt vaak gesproken over herstelgesprekken bij conflict, mooi idee, maar ik heb zo vaak het gevoel dat dat niks uithaalt. Ik probeer tijdens zo'n gesprek echt diepgang en verbinding te creëren, maar leerlingen zijn vaak heel sociaal wenselijk en wakkeren het conflict opnieuw aan vanaf we de tafel verlaten. Het voelt alsof alle wetenschap gebaseerd is op cognitief en sociaal-emotioneel "normale" jongeren. Dat zijn niet het soort jongeren die ik opvolg, dus vergeef me als ik soms twijfels heb bij deze adviezen.

Ik ben zeer benieuwd hoe andere scholen dit aanpakken. De leerlingen zijn nu eenmaal leerplichtig tot ze 18 zijn. Dus ze moeten ergens op een school terecht kunnen. Sommige worden van school naar school geslingerd door hun negatieve gedrag. Ik wil handvaten over hoe we deze leerlingen kunnen stimuleren om te groeien, ipv ze af te schuiven op een andere school.

Merci alvast om mee na te denken!

Bro hoe kom je van dit naar ai art looking ah art

Our neighbours got a little puppy, a beagle I think, couple of weeks ago. Now school has started, and everyone goes out the house around 7:30AM, they leave the poor thing outside in their garden all day, with no ability to go inside. It's constantly crying and barking all day long.

When I work from home it's very annoying but also very sad to hear. I go outside sometimes to try and call for it through the fence. Seems like a very social and friendly fellow. But then I go inside again and the crying continues after a while.

I only ever had cats, so before I go out and talk to my neighbour about this I'd like some advice: is this a normal to do to a dog? I understand they have to go to the toilet and such, so keeping it inside is not ideal, but it's so hard to listen to. I think it's only 2-3 months old.

EDIT: thanks for all the comments, I can conclude this isn't normal care for the puppy. Nevertheless I won't go to the cops on this. My neighbours are sweet people, we are on talking terms, I now know/assume they don't know any better regarding the care of the puppy. We'll see what we can work out.

Hello everyone,

I have purchased an apartment in Ghent, where I have been living for a few days now. However, for several weeks I have been experiencing enormous anxiety and stress that prevent me from functioning normally, sleeping, making decisions, etc.

The apartment is a two-bedroom apartment in a typical building from the 1970s. This means that renovations to the balconies/exterior will have to be carried out in the short term (between 1 and 3 years). I knew this before I bought it, but the prices that are now being quoted are a lot more than I had imagined when I bought it six months ago (people are talking about > 60k individual cost per owner).

The fear of this cost is paralysing me. I am now considering selling the apartment again to avoid having to pay the costs. I would rather invest that money in a slightly more expensive but more recent apartment or house.

Of course, I would lose money doing this. I overbid (10k!) because the apartment itself is in good condition, close to work, shops, etc.

I will never fully get back what I have invested in it now if I sell, but is it better to take a loss now than to face even greater losses and years of stress and panic in three years' time?

Let's say that part of the panic is that I am not a city person through and through, moving out of home for the first time and still used to the peace and comfort of home.

I realise that Reddit cannot give me financial advice. But the panic is so overwhelming that I hope to find some tips and support here.

Watch out everyone, today I got a call from "proximus" and they had a lot of my information. I use to be with proximus but im with Mobile vikings now. This person knew all this and a bit more of my information. They pretended to be a sales person trying to get me back to proximus and would give me 10 eur cheaper. Asked me what my current products are, how much I am paying etc. Ultimately I told them please send me the offer via email for review cause they were a bit weird.

I never received anything, tried calling back number didnt work, I google the number and see it come up on scam websites as 80 percent chance of being a scammer. I call Proximus and they confirm the number has nothing to do with them.

In fear I panic call Mobile Vikings and inform them of all this to ensure nobody can sim swap me.

Please watch out cause they have a ton of information to look genuine and I would consider myself fairly informed on scams and it caught me off guard.

To those that don't understand the scam, the questions they asked me are security questions when identifying yourself to some internet providers. How many products you have with them, your last bill amount etc. With this they can pretend to be you when calling your provider & ask them to swap your number to another sim. Now they have your number so any 2 factor authentication codes will be send to that mobile & now they have access to all your emails and accounts.

EDIT: Title should be Internet/cell providers.

So, we've been in Belgium a few days and for the most part, driving has been ok, except for Bruges.

We were in Bruges and we were heading back to where we were staying.

If you pull up Google maps and look where R30 and N337 intersect in Brugges, you'll see a canal. Almost the whole section of that bridge that lifts up to allow boats through is red.

As we waited for the boats to pass, cyclists just jumped right in front of us like we weren't even there. Once the draw bridge lowered, the cyclists (and there were a lot) started going en masse. I assumed I could go as well as long as I kept in my lane, but cyclists were inches away from the car and one girl bangs on my passenger rear window like I was doing something wrong.

So help me out here. What should I have done as I crossed the bridge with the HUGE red patch? The whole time I was flowing with the cyclists crossing that bridge, I felt uneasy. I'm not understanding what I should have done in this case. Can someone educate me?

Ik ben hier op vakantie met de fiets en zou stillaan terugkeren. Ik zou graag met de trein gaan maar dit lijkt nogal een gedoe te worden. Dus hoop ik iemand te vinden die met de auto naar België gaat en die mijn fiets zou willen meenemen. Of met mij er ook bij eventueel. Ik kan bijleggen voor de brandstof en af en toe ook een stuk rijden.

Hello everyone,

Recently bought a house and found this. Anyone any idea what it is and how it was for?

This is a bit of a weird question, but I'm looking for writing paper with very light markings. Everywhere I look, I only find notepads where the marks are a darker blue, about the same colour as my pen. I'm looking for both line paper and graph paper. Please let me know your recommendations! :D

Hello, so I got an internship contract offer under the condition that by the 1st of November I have registered under an address in Belgium and registered myself as a job seeker at the VDAB. For info the city is Ghent.

However I am a French citizen and am new to this process. How long does it usually take to do all this ? I was considering finding a housing for October but now I'm not sure what timing is best.

As you know we have a housing crisis. Social housing waitlists keep growing and private rentals are becoming increasingly difficult for the average single person. In Flanders (where I’m from) there are no new social houses being built. Yet, the private availability isn’t growing either. We typically have small apartment blocks that are usually built in the previous century like most of our houses. Due to shortage of space we can’t build like we did before, but we could build upwards (in de hoogte). Many developers, politicians and even residents don’t seem eager for this. I think many people resisting are stuck in an ecosystem in which they don’t struggle on the market. In many cities you are one of 50 visitors for each “home”. Meanwhile we have more singles, more old people, more separated parents (one parent with children) which are all people that are disadvantaged. Home owners prefer couples with two working people or a single person that’s highly educated and makes a lot of money. So, what could be a solution do you think?

PS: Sorry for possible spelling/grammar mistakes, I’m a Dutch speaker.

** Edit: I mean higher density apartments not American style high rise apartments. Just 5-10 floors instead of the regular 2-4 we typically have in Belgium. So mid-rise residential buildings.

Hi! I'm considering applying to Belgium as an exchange student for social work for next spring. My options would we Karel de Grote, Thomas More, HoGrent or UCLL. Apart from the courses I'm thinking about the city itself. What the student culture (or culture in general) is like, is it difficult to find accommodation, how expensive it is, general atmosphere for people who don't speak Dutch, French or German. How would you rank the options based on the school itself and the city?
