School crisis: Father complains of a broken system for our children!

A father from Ludwigshafen sums up the problems of the German school system. Daniel Schwertner criticizes the “massive workload” of his twelve -year -old daughter and states: “Things are stupids in the head at school. This is a massive memorization, and a lot of children suffer from it.” He observes that his daughter learns more about topics such as square roots than about vital skills such as dealing with finances. This is particularly alarming, since according to a study by Mastercard, only 49 percent of the parents find it easy to convey financial issues in a child -friendly manner. Schwertner also calls for a profound reform of the curriculum to integrate subjects such as tax law and insurance companies instead of only targeting standardized exams, such as merkur.de reported.

not only the curriculum suffers - the upbringing of the children is also criticized. An article on Buzzfeed is open which "Red Flags" teachers notice to students and their parents. These range from unrealistic educational views to inadequate support from the teachers. Teachers report that parents often have little understanding of their children's needs and play down problems, which leads to serious behavioral problems. One example is the statement of a teacher that "if parents simply 'laugh away' in their child, do not" laugh away "this little tyrant". Solche Verhaltensweisen fördern nicht nur die Probleme in den Schulen, sondern gefährden auch die persönliche Entwicklung der Kinder, wie buzzfeed.de anmerkt.

These findings make a highlight of the need to urgently question both the school system and the parent's educational style. While the father from Ludwigshafen specifically demands that schools convey more practical knowledge, the teacher reports show that there is often a lack of communication between parents and teachers. Here it is important to rethink and act to better prepare future generations for life.
