The show Wife Swap au RTL2 f t is certainly one each term: 10 days exchange for almost two women their lives, including family and environment, with all the highs and lows of this experience will be documented by camera.

Apart from the fact that the program is often quite amusing and entertaining, I would like to again take up the cudgels for them, as they in my opinion, one part insight into the human psyche and the other offers in the mechanisms and principles of the current Fernsehuntehaltung than almost any other format . Sure, reactions to extreme situations such as in a jungle camp can be instructive and entertaining, but just in the family area are fundamental attitudes, perceptions and response patterns and individual differences in this respect very much. Just educators and teachers, who are confronted with people from all strata and groups and must work with them, can gain valuable insights here into the causes of deep-rooted patterns of their clientele.

School and learning in different houses, parents

This is how we determine after studying only a few effects that have occurred precisely in regard to education and setting the family home to school and learning a huge difference. Clear that a "better home" more value on education, one would certainly thought so, but you can get on the other hand, parents of "bottom" to face for the school seems to be very important. However, almost always find significant differences in the approach to promoting their own offspring: While quite simply knit fellows regularly forcing their children to learn and sometimes - apparently most of the mothers, and only rarely by the Maloche or the Play Station stressed fathers - cramming together with them (so I'd like to call this Sturr queries within the meaning of "If you have twelve times six things, well, how much did you then?"), intellectuals are often quite different approach to this task: they tinker with their children go with them or walk through the woods and tell them in passing things you want to know the children in the process or find interesting. This "Natural" Learning to learn and satisfy the innate curiosity of children who soak up knowledge like a sponge eager. Moreover, such activities are just kids to balance that allows learning at all before.

Thus we see regularly intellectual mothers in the family of the housing estate in Wanne-Eickel almost missionary zeal to paint the usually front of the TV hanging toddlers with finger paints, to demonstrate to the local family man, what's with his family in Argentina. It is unfortunately all too often a certain arrogance and a treat to watch from above on the part of themselves intellectually superior to mother sentient exchange.

The role of distribution with respect intellectually inferior and is almost always directly from the start. A point to go where the views are often extremely apart is the way again and again the hygiene. As disgusted which one of the spots in the assigned bed, proclaimed as the other, how important cleanliness is, while the Siff begins herabzutropfen from their kitchen cabinets. It seems, however, no direct relation between cleanliness standards and intellect to give: we see the same bitch siffig Boller as the seemingly only in esoteric worlds beyond the normal everyday life reveling Reiki teacher.

Unfortunately, you also get some parents to face, obviously bothered to have their children to make only "party" or "quiet times have had to say (after they had all afternoon mentally before Play Station on the following for probably the upcoming job search days have prepared ). Of course there are also parents living in poverty, where their children are at the heart elicit factual. Unfortunately, there is often a total helplessness of the problem. They seem to think that by learning forced the school performance of children are improved and is surprised that the stress acting out children seem to have neither interest nor with significant learning progress are blessed.

Arrogance and incompetence

For the intellectually superior, especially when we call her Halbintellektuellen, as has been said often observe a form of arrogance. What is missing is what is known in Buddhism as compassion: instead to rise above the obvious problems and shortcomings of others, but it is just an intellectual obligation to look behind things, and the mechanisms such as insecurity, helplessness, serious own childhood, etc. recognize leading to that some people can only live as they live halt.

Knowledge for teachers and Pädadgogen

For me as a teacher to help such scenes to understand why many children do in our schools is so difficult. Ultimately, seems to be a big part of the children "disturbed energy" (to here the views of traditional Chinese medicine to quote derived approach in which all mental health disorders and / or the best condition to be interpreted as interference in the flow of energy). Causes are the oppressive living conditions in remote and natural home of the child or the model of energy also disturbed parents. An atmosphere that seems based on mutual respect and equal rights (yes, I mean absolutely between parents and children as equal members of the family at least in terms of certain things) seems to be rare among German roofs, as well as a healthy diet, in fact, sometimes eating some of nature that were found is to be uncommon in many places (although some still actually believe that what is concocted from some canned food and spices is healthy, because it at least not on other days the intricate finished fast food is).

All the talk about the bad results of any studies Pisa is usually past the real causes that are looking for that is my experience, only partly in school, but instead just described rather in the domestic reality of life of children.

What can you do? As parents, it is nothing more important and more decisive, as a time for children to have and to devote attention relaxed. By the way, are thereby even the "worst" children most likely to calm and balanced, so that parents can ever come to this relaxed attitude. With such growing up that works with children at school then probably all by itself, if not ultimately, the kids are probably due to the idea that one can compensate for potential lack of appropriate diligence always just on the wrong school at which they are overtaxed. Finally, do not make any high school, some are just other things.

Even as a teacher it is important to work through their own balance for equilibrium to these children and to them that exemplify what it at home does not seem to give.

Our TV

But now back to wife-swapping, finally I had above or possible insights into the effects of modern television entertainment talk. First, yes RTL2 decide on which exchange two mothers, two worlds collide So what should one another. This is an attempt to comply with stereotypical or to incite them. Since you also do not get the whole 10 days showed only short excerpts, RTL2 elect of course aware of the reactions, the nation gets to see and which not. This alone may artificially either one of these or maybe even a contrary impression created.

We ask also that impact the display of the perhaps may now have within their limited horizons somewhat satisfied hinlebenden forward exchange mother or their family members after it was demonstrated publicly how naive, uneducated, siffig, disgusting, lazy, inhuman or abnormal them in the eyes of others. But of course, is precisely this form of voyeurism, the secret of all these series: The audience does not want harmony, not conflict resolution see, but prefer the ruthless clash, preferably with the mental destruction of the weak, what is being celebrated by RTL2 sometimes elegant .

• Teacher beats student - psychopaths at German schools?

With my son in school (class 7, Gymnsaium) there was a real scandal - in a representative hours entered a seemingly ill-tempered from the start of the hour, the children not previously known to the classroom teacher. The students were allowed to work in these hours represent tasks in other subjects or studying for the grammar work in the next hour.

When several of these tasks were finished, it was naturally louder. Eventually, the teacher felt it to be too loud. Rather than report this to the students and bring his action was against it, to want to record the student noise with his voice recorder. As one student pointed out to him that this was an invasion of privacy of students and is therefore not allowed, the teacher spun around and beat the students against the chest. The student replied that the teacher can not beat him, after which the teacher replied: "You do not know what I can do everything."

In the same hour, a heavy bag with the other students of the teacher was caught "," oversight or intentional bump?

To crown the teacher left an hour early and joined the students alone in a classroom, so they were left unattended for about 5 minutes (and in an emergency without an exit option). This was enough however to put a girl in a persistent state of panic. She howled so that in the subsequent hours was hardly in a position to write down the Latin work.

Students are of course equal to the staff room and the director went to denounce this behavior, which of course caused quite a stir. In the next few days the incident was thematisisert in other subjects.

Of course, the parents were active. On this, convened a parents' evening, a letter was written to the district government with demands to take action against the teacher. This was no way Erstdelikt, but such incidents were (with the already "disciplinary" teachers) have already occurred several times. The school itself was so far no explanation or apology and no information concerning planned measures.

What can be seen therein? Today's classes are so bad that teachers go crazy? Or there are too many teachers for their work (not or are no longer) appropriate and not dismissed because of tenure, are still special unleashed on the world? Or the mental stress of teachers due to the increased number of hours and various other obligations is greater than before? In the absence of support you during a busy school day? Or is this just an isolated case?
