A student who has to bad grades, must repeat the class. He remains seated. In two main subjects to have a five-sufficient in the Generally been for the crash. The grade six forces in a core subject to repeat the school year.
And that costs. According to the Federal Statistics Office in this school year, nearly 3% of German pupils sit - around 250,000 young people who turn a "victory lap". The educational researcher Prof. Andreas Schleicher of the International Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) estimates that each seat left to the German state costs about 18,000 €.
In a quarter of a million of students who must repeat the class, I get to simple accounting to 4.5 billion (!) €, which the German government will invest in the coming school year. And only are left alone for those 250,000 pupils sitting 2007th
Certainly one could now argue that to sit in some cases, the only piece of meaningful punishment, the only incentive for allegedly lazy student to give his best.
Still may be asked whether the method introduced over 200 years ago is still relevant - or whether we are dealing with more educationally reprehensible and economically inefficient humiliation. Educational researchers criticize lack of motivation, and only short-term success in repeating students and demand an end to the assessment of students by grades.
more funds to flow from the purses of parents: They invest around 4.6 billion € per year for tuition. Thus, the critics of the German education system, the school will socially unjust. Who has money, can save the notes of his child through non-formal education - who has none, is deserted.
I add up the two horrendous amounts of money to present himself to me slack 9.1 billion euros, year after year could be better invested. For example, in the individual development of the individual. Or in modern, as new school supplies. In training for a teaching staff that provides always confronted with new problems. Or just in advanced courses in the summer holidays, remained in those students who otherwise would sit, can close the gaps in their problem subjects. Currently, 4.6 billion euros annually throughout the state are literally shot into the wind. And we must listen to us, we've no money for education.
