Failing schools
urmila, 22:23h
The international tests of schools have already shown it. German schools marginalise marginalised students further. Especially the children of 'migrants' suffer from this. Together with the general discrimination of socially and economically marginalised 'migrants' this has led to a concentration of 'difficult' students in schools in neighbourhoods with a high proportion of 'migrant' population. The teachers are left without adequate training and resources to tackle the problems created thus. Now one school in Berlin has send a dramatic cry for help.
The media and politicians have immediately reacted to it, by now it is the main story on the main TV news magazine. But on the way they have got rid of the differentiated demands of the school and have reduced everything to the problem of the 'Muslims'. Not really helpful for the teachers and students, but perfectly fitting the general islamophobic sentiments.
