Breakfast habits vary widely across Europe. In some countries like Spain and Portugal, people tend to eat a light breakfast of coffee or tea with a pastry or toast. However, in places such as Germany and the Nordic nations, breakfast is a hearty meal that might include eggs, cold cuts, cheese, and various breads. Teachers in Europe are evaluated in different ways depending on the country, but student performance is often an important factor along with classroom observations by other teachers or school administrators.
