Momo had known two all best friends, a young and an old, the old one was Beppo and he had two distinct characteristics that, if people would accept it, could change the world.
One was his handling of questions.
There were questions to answer which he did not find it necessary. Then he was silent.
This must be first, can not keep to the questions needed! As simple as it seems, is not, especially with Beppo's reaction!
Many of our media representatives and many of our politicians, we would wish, the capacity issues that are not really necessary, not to find necessary and they simply can not provide. And if politicians would then not even respond to questions that are not really necessary - my goodness ... too good to be true.
is clear there is yet another question, namely: How do I know that questions are not necessary?
Beppo's behavior might be useful: If he does not know an answer, he said nothing. So if he did not know whether a question was important, he was silent, too!
How could that change our reality, if the slobber many of our politicians when they talk, but do not really know answers, would not spread steadily as a tenacious Slurry, which flows through the media in our reality and our zukleistert.
way that applies to our inner and slobber, the outer is only a mirror of our inner.
Beppo's behavior could change our reality in schools, because there is an answer to the question of why some students remain silent: You do not need to find an answer :-))
And many teachers do not know what : Many students give the answer until hours later, when school is over
Beppo made it that way.. If he did not know an answer, he gave them two hours later, sometimes a day later.
This explains the way, finally, is why, for example a student on the question of his geography teacher, where the Ganges flows subject response. He had long thought about the question of his German teacher and a day later given the answer. Was it his fault that was geography lessons now?
For Beppo at any rate it was clear that all the misfortunes in the world of the many lies, the deliberate, but also the unintended comes, the only arise from hurry or inaccuracy.
Our school system has - honestly and seriously say again - but increasingly a destination: without haste while.
Why else would shorten the nine years to the eight-year-old high school, why the school is overloaded with more and more requirements? According to experts' opinion, the knowledge doubles on Earth every eight to 10 years, some even say every 5 years. As you can imagine what you have to make students and teachers.
that students learn than in the past to use computers and related programs in the school that they are much Learn more intense than earlier techniques that it also extra are methods dates that they also do social work experience and vocational training measures increasingly finding their way to school, be it that they do like us one week one internship or participate in a voluntary preparation for job interviews can compulsory visit for two days the country's universities or a newspaper, Porsche and Mercedes, they learn, above all, presentations and learn at the same time must ensure that the external shape of the curriculum designers is now more important than the content, whether that is what they is present hollow, second-or third-rate is increasing, that is only some of many new requirements that have been approached with in recent years to the schools - and increasingly so. Meanwhile, yes, we also each student has his portfolio! Wow! Violence prevention and education about the dangers of the Internet and other things such as healthy eating - how much overweight students, we have not ... - To say nothing, logically, there is also for curricula. And clearly the police officer comes to drug prevention in the classes. - Learning does too. Some sing in the choir school, playing in the Theater-AG, learning-impaired students give tuition in the afternoon to play in the orchestra, trained mediator to make and run the Trained in dispute are also, paramedic school or class president and meet regularly in the SMV or go to a camp in preparation for the school year. Yes, some work with the library administration to sit in school committees, and - lo and behold: some play in their spare time, one or two instruments, go to one or two sports clubs, are involved in the volunteer fire department, the YMCA and find out nor more ...
The good that nothing else is taken out of the curriculum for it. No one else comes to his senses!
And apart from that yes teachers are no longer only concerned with the education and preparation and accompanying above-curricular activities, but with evaluating their school, and although the Fremdevaluieren and Selbstevaluieren. This is again - at least in Baden-Württemberg - the big hit, without which education would be ruined: Evaluate! How does that sound too. The hat was! This makes the economy too! Any good company that prides itself on being evaluated, off and on!
that teachers who have to deal with as far as possible the assessment of strengths and weaknesses of their school and teaching and less time to prepare the lesson remains (that is what they originally were supposed to do once): this issue belongs not just get to the necessary.
course teachers should teach more diffenzierend, thus creating in each class for the weak and strong own worksheets or tasks, then correct it and / or discuss.
And in Baden -Wuerttemberg, teachers have moved through numerous training courses of learning goal orientation to competence-oriented, having previously been in their classes at their school - created every school for them, as economic (!) (!) -.'ve created training plans
Thank God we are still in the competent Good time to recognize this danger: that would go with the antiquated focus on learning objectives, learning-based world, only skills they can save! Now sit your ass wide in teacher training, teacher trainers themselves admit of which are open to them to see their meaning all. And at home waiting for the class work and home issues, which are checked. Does anyone from teaching?
that it would have made more sense to make training on skills before the training plans are created - oh, such a small Fehlerlein the Ministry of Culture, what of it ... Do not talk about stuff like that ... Educational reality 2011th
We always teach the children to ask questions. This is certainly true. But maybe adults should not always, especially for the deflection, as children ask questions and make it stupid, but think how Beppo. Basically, he was a Zen Buddhist: his work was his way to meditate. In Momo states:
"If he was so swept the streets, he did it slowly but steadily" since. "He did his work willingly and thoroughly"
This is however not anymore. Because we realize how Michael Ende pretty lived behind the moon.
happy do the work? - This question is not absolutely contemporary.
thoroughly? - That can be answered only if one of learning goal orientation toward competence orientation has evolved into.
If you have done that, fortunately, some question was no longer, for we have lost our appetite for everything.
way you can solve problems of education and teaching.
And human to do so.
can live the example, how useful we really, fully, and learn.
Beppo had an answer that is not longer fits into our time, because it presupposes that one has time and time have to: That's just not in our time!
"One should never think of the whole street at once, you understand? Just think about the next step, the next breath, the next brush stroke. And again and again only at the next ... then it makes Joy, which is important, then one makes a good job. "
It's true: It is important to know the big picture. But one must not confuse the knowledge about the big picture with the big (Kotzig) s gesture that many in our society now on it - indeed, increasingly learn it well young people must be heard only some representatives of political youth organizations to talk or pass some school representative to leave his mind. have
The big picture to assumes that you know the details so you know what one associates.
Therefore, the Beppo in important to us. Yard by yard, he knows his road.
And, as I said, he is not one of those big puke that must equal, and many do in our society even without being asked ...
joy? What was with Beppo's joy? - Is it the curriculum? Is this a skill?
learn with joy?
Perhaps a lifetime?
strange. silent on some questions that people have always been.
And be among the many oh-so-necessary questions that should be made real, no longer missing.
