The subtitle of this article in the SZ of 6 February 2010 was: not The country needs many high school graduates, but better. Otherwise, the school loses its meaning as a higher educational institution.
Mr Schloemann!
as it is now retired Teacher at the high school, I can your complaints about the decay of the high school agree. The aim of the school it must be, not many students to hand over the school leaving certificate, but make too many college-students. The crux here is that apparently only has traditionally been determined emotionally, what is called "college-", ie have the capabilities and skills a person needs to take to college-be.
your comments, I would like to add three aspects:
first To be the sake of equality in key high school tests found (at least in the subject German) often marginal aspects tasks - the meaningful tasks might already have edited a colleague, and his student were then compared with the other advantage.
second By teaching modes (a lot of "gimmick" and "creativity") methodically rigorous process of text comprehension to miss, for example, work with the dictionary. There is little guidance on how to work with the dictionary or a German grammar - and in the schools is that there are no dictionaries. What's in the school as a "dictionary" is approved, the Duden spelling or a similar book, but not a real dictionary.
third In the textbooks for German, it goes to the amounts, everywhere is being produced and acted out ... But the central notion of linguistic action lacks widely - in the latest edition of the popular book in NRW Cornelsen "texts, themes and structures" for secondary education is the term once before, but he is not introduced as a central concept and it is, a total of not worked with it. The notion is familiar to more than 50 years in linguistics, and he is also indispensable for a rigorous understanding (he makes as the recourse unnecessary to make an already to be determined "intention" of the poet). In any case he would have students that will be to study, be familiar.
would have to be resolved urgently,
After my first insight by what skills someone has to study,
second can be purchased detectable in what ways these skills
second what new teaching methods provide empirically detectable.
Who can worked forty years in the school, has seen many fashions come and disappear so that he only smile when yet another only true way of believing theorists who make that career preached.
Sincerely,
