Berlin and the teachers lack : The establishment of an official is a gift to young teachers

In principle, the Governments are agreed that the re-establishment of the doctrine is a mistake. The arguments are well known: first, the teaching profession does not belong to those groups of workers in the core area of state sovereignty of tasks, which are the financial privileges as a compensation for the abandonment of basic workers ' rights such as the right to strike must be granted. And second, the state imposes the establishment of future generations financial burdens that he knows neither, let alone that he did make the attempt would, today, reserves or similar.

Leading representatives of the SPD and the CDU faith, but to have to make that mistake, because it is the only way could be the competitive disadvantage to compensate, the Berlin have on the teacher market believes. But is this true? We think of the Association of Free schools, the analysis is incomplete and, therefore, the proposal falls short of the mark. What do we mean?

1. The establishment of an official is a gift to young teachers. But experience shows that this next Generation of teachers, given the challenges that everyday life today is in teaching, and in spite of good training, more than ever, guidance and training needs by experienced teachers. Ironically, these experienced teachers will, however, be deterred by the problems of Justice that arise due to the establishment from which the Elderly benefit.

2. The establishment is in the short term, a gift for younger teachers. You don't look at the reasons why older teachers in Berlin, and especially since the verb with a civil servant status, disproportionately from a high rate of Sick leave and early retirement are affected.

order now If you take a lot of money in Hand, not one would have to ask first of all, why don't you lose so many experienced teachers at an early stage, to make it their profession to Reach the age limit healthy and motivated to exercise? This is for the System in the long term, is no less devastating. Because it affects the generations that would have to make in the lead in the schools actually are the supporting forces. With the younger generations, easy to fill, where in the case of the older generations is burned out, cynical.

in fact, in our opinion, is not the establishment of only the superficial eye-stinging disadvantage of the location in Berlin. In addition to deferred sick-makers, such as a high level of heteronomy in the work of more and more bureaucracy and standardized tests, we see as in the long term, more damaging cause of the higher teachers ' working hours than in other States. This disadvantage suggests but only with increasing age to book. Then, the workload is increasingly becoming a Problem.

3. More than ten per cent of pupils today attend school in free sponsorship. These schools will get by the establishment of state teachers, unless there are compensatory mechanisms in found, major problems in the recruitment of teachers.

Now, there are maybe stubborn ideologues weakened the annoying competition is welcome, according to the Motto: great! But the fact is that the Land of Berlin would be without the schools Free for the foreseeable future even in a position to serve this growing proportion of pupils in state schools. In this respect, all of the solutions, not considering this part of the public school system to expose itself, just as a card of the same responsibility transparency, which in the past has been short, the Ruling insisted always on the state education monopoly for teachers, without, of course, in time for the foreseeable Problem of the missing teacher young provide enough training places.

Berlin's teachers are above average expensive

Berlin cut in an above-average amount of money for teachers in Relation to students. The question that should all ask, before much money is invested in the wrong place, should be: Why is so little at the base? The establishment, however, is a quickly thrown claim. Actually, it is nothing else than a distinct design refusal, without more creative and, above all, wirkvollere measures.

As it is with other competitive factors? There are not other factors, which could be much more successful in the competition with other States? How would it be, in the face of a Generation, free time is more important than payment, to call for rather less hours hours than elsewhere.

As it would be if there were in Berlin, the smallest classes, or for all the teachers service computer for the work at home. How would it be if the employer-financed in Berlin, the Tickets for the public TRANSPORT, or all teachers receive an annual lump sum of 500 Euro for teaching materials?

If the fantasy would be loose, unjust, and little sustainable demand for the establishment of an official, from the table, it would be the box might be open to other cost-intensive, but may in the long term, more effective and more equitable investment, which could make the teaching profession in Berlin attractive again. The reduction in teacher working hours for teaching staff of all generations could be such a solution.
