Classroom.
The IT system which in 2019 replaced Skoleintra, which replaced the good old contact book, and which ever since has set fire to not only the public debate, but also the nervous system of several parents.
A melting pot of reminders, new schedules, registrations, parenting events, excursions, sick leave and illegal absences, which not only scores a paltry 1.5 stars out of a possible five on Trustpilot, but is also a source of stress, anxiety, frustration and inferiority for its users .
No, the sales figure is not overwhelming – even Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen aired considerations about abolishing Aula last year.
And precisely on that occasion, Vibeke Falden, who is a singer, music producer and the woman behind the Instagram account Perfekt Mor, published a reverse tribute song to Aula in the spring.
Aula is closed on the weekend. The platform closes access to users as it needs to be updated.

As a mother of three children on their way to 5th, 4th and 3rd grade respectively, she has more experience with Aula than she could ever wish for, and she has not exactly had good experiences along the way.
“So thank you for your spam. Thank you for disturbing me in the middle of the meal. Thank you for filling me up with inferiority. You are cunning,” Vibeke Falden sings, among other things, in her anti-hero quatrain.
– The thing about Aula that causes frustration and irritation is that you constantly have to deal with what is written. You can never quite take a break from it, like. It is always there, if you can otherwise work out where the information is, says Vibeke Falden.
Put the phone down
So how do you best relate to Aula and steer clear of the pitfalls of frustration and inferiority?
First of all, you have to make sure that you don’t reply to everyone in one thread when you go out to Aula – and finally turn off notifications so that the phone doesn’t buzz and buzz around the clock. Once that is done, Vibeke Falden’s first deeper advice for beginners is about daring to be “flawsome”.
– You must embrace your faults and shortcomings. Ask yourself if you really have power over the message thread or the invitation that is in Aula for a parenting event. And if you don’t, that’s perfectly okay, says Vibeke Falden.
– So put the phone down and use your common sense. Wait to answer until you have caught your breath, she says.
You are also Kamala Harris
And when you sit there and are a little ashamed of not being able to do it, it is important to remember that the other mothers and fathers at Aula are not necessarily better than yourself.
– If others sign up for something, think “cool that they are doing it”, instead of thinking that you yourself are a failure. And remember that the other mothers are not enemies. What you believe in your head about them is not true, says Vibeke Falden.
But if you still feel the urge to do away with the Aula tyranny, she is ready with the next piece of advice:
– You are also Kamala Harris! Understood in the way that you can also help change the world. If you don’t want to participate in something, you can say no. It all starts with you, says Vibeke Falden.
Should there be a need for extra inspiration or perhaps a little escape from Aula’s eternal demands for attention, Vibeke Falden can only encourage you to read the book “The boundless parenting”. And maybe sing along to her song “Kære Aula”.
