mijn zoon van 12 baalt dat ze geen schoenen met plakkers meer hebben in zijn maat. En sketchers mogen niet op school 🙂
Can you carry this over to the next year, or is there a hard break somewhere?
I’ve added it to my linkedIn profile to impress the headhunters.
They don’t have this in my kids school and it’s a shame.
Also i remember Oh Oh Cherso where most only had their “veterstrikdiploma”.
I have to imagine it took Ben Weyts 5 extra years to get this degree as well…
Als ze na hun 2de leerjaar nog geen veters kunnen strikken, dan moeten ze ook stoppen met de opleiding zeker?
I work in hikingboots and it’s sad to say but some people really can’t tie their shoes for shit..
I failed this many many times. And never actually got it. One of my earliest memories is in fact failing this test when I was 4 years old (last year kindergarten). So it is possible.
I did learn how to lace my shoes eventually. But I was a VERY late learner.
I failed this, waited for the ‘juf’ to go to the toilet, asked my friend to strik my veters and when they had tied it I told the juf I did it. I got my diploma, sorry juf. (In hindsight she probably knew lol)
Ik had a velcro diploma.
Waar is mijn diploma? Ik heb er nooit gekregen! Mijn school heeft dit zelfs niet gedistribueerd.
Ik kon oprecht tot m’n 9ste ofzo niet mijn veters strikken
Where’s my Velcro gang at?
I am that person that forms two loops and then ties those two loops a.k.a. the “easy method”. I could never do the difficult method as a child and now I can’t be bothered.
Is it possible to get two veterstrikdiploma’s?
I can tie my laces with the method of using only one “lus” and also with two “lussen”
I confess that I failed to acquire this academic performance
I failed. But I also had an alcoholic mother and was excluded by literally everyone plus abused by the teachers.
But yeah, I failed.
From what my kids’ doctor told me, it used to be a test of motricity for kids. “Used to” as kids have less and less shoes with lace, so they may just never had to do it before so it’s not really relevant anymore.
I remember that at least for the first year (3 years old), the school asked for shoes without laces (knowing the kids probably can’t do it themselves, it’s not fun for the teacher to lace 23 pairs of shoes after naptime).
Got this framed on a wall, most important diploma in the world
well thats an other thing that i can add to the things i failed in life list
Since when has this been a thing? That’s some real participation trophy type shit right there.
This unlocked a core memory.
Thank you. Our school allowed us to finger paint a piece of cardboard shaped like a shoe. And then we tied a shoelace around it and THAT was our diploma. I think our teachers wrote “veterstrikdiploma” on it. But I’m not sure.
I too failed this many times and never got it. So as a consequence my school recommended to my parents I had visit several specialists which eventually lead to me getting some sort of brain scan with rubber nubs attached to my head. I also had to go to some sort of therapist every Wednesday afternoon.
The extreme focus on this minor issue had given me low self esteem for years and I was in my twenties before I recovered from it. Fuck this diploma & fuck “specialists” trying to “fix” or label everything.
I failed this, but I see it more as the people who tried to teach me failing me.
They slowly explain me how you grab the laces and make 1 loop. than you izaughfizoeuHF09aghiguza and voila your laces are tied.
I told them I understand grabbing the laces and making the first loop but they went too fast over the last bit.
They explain grabbing the laces even slower and do the last bit even faster and wonder why I still didn’t understand it. I wore velcro until I was 10.
I failed that 😭
They want you to use the “rabbit round the loop” and not the two loops.
I failed that.
I still can’t use the rabbit round the loop bs.
I don’t need to imagine it lol.
i was very resistant to change as a kid (still am, yay autism) and saw no need to learn to tie my own laces since my mom and my teachers would always do it for me.
After a while my mom threatened to buy me very embarrassing velcro shoes and told me everyone would think i was a fool for wearing them i learned to tie my own shoes within days XD

Later I learned [a superior way to tie your shoelaces](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XPIgR89jv3Q).
