„Man nennt das ‚kindgerecht‘. Ich nenne es eine Versündigung an der Zukunft unserer Kinder“

Josef Kraus, the former president of the German Teachers' Association for 30 years and a former school principal, is critical of modern pedagogy and the current generation of students. In an article published recently, Kraus expresses skepticism about contemporary educational approaches, which he believes are detrimental to children's future. He advocates for a clear merit-based system in schools. Kraus argues that what is often called "child-friendly" education is actually a disservice to the future of children. He believes that a focus on performance and achievement is essential for preparing students for the challenges ahead.
