"The number of all-day schools is rising.
[Mhmhmhmhmh.]

[Mhmhmmhmhmhm.]
As the Ministry of Education announced yesterday in Mainz on, so take 597 schools participate in the expansion program. The regional government extends the full-day program so that slowly but continuously.
[Mhmhmhmh]
In addition, there are 106 schools with full-day classes obligate and more than 3,000 schools with a limited offer afternoon. "
(GA Bonn, 03.26.2013).

I try to imagine if Primary Age or later someone would try to put me in a school ... My horror full day would be today as yesterday the same thing. At that time I would probably much emotional reaction when I can still imagine it to me today.

. "Mandatory full-time teaching," there are no doctors, neuroscientists, or in this country - at least more animal rights activists who are able to help the children in any way? Full day "schooling" is contrary to everything that makes childhood.

Bravo was an issue, so in the fourth and fifth class with me between ten and eleven years. Sure, it was cleared up, very schematically and thus again not been elucidated. Bravo gave it at home with a friend, and I browsed diligently, especially Dr. Sommers column. Two stories I remembered: A question of a girl whose brother was sexually interested in her. Go ahead, soothed Dr. summer, try it out, it can also be beautiful, etc. Somehow, it appeared to me strange and sultry. Then a picture story of a couple who had been captivated by another against a tree. Then I leave my memory. Anyway, I felt it so strange that I started talking to my mother about it. That was the end of Dr. Sommer. She told me insistently, why and how such a thing is not "normal" is. (Read more ...)

The inmates include, inter alia, autistic, extremely aggressive or auto-aggressive children and adolescents or those with ADHD problems.

It is clear that all Jugendichen already have a history: they were "treated" with drugs, and, in such a way "beyond treatment", referred in this terminal.

When the children come after hours of work home, during which they were detained and hindered in their movement, they are usually not approachable from exhaustion, exhausted, just want to be left alone.
