My old gymnasium had a very good reputation and a history reaching back until before the war. I had very good techers, most of them men, men of reason, a scientific mindset, an interest for awaking our interest in science and a reasonable view of things and the world. My teacher in Englisch "Leistungskurs" was an old lady from a family that had migrated to the US, with her being the only one returnign to Germany. We deeply respected and truly loved her, I will never forget her. I had a very good time at school, I consider myself to have been very lucky.

I finished school in 1985. Soon after that, the firtst of many unspeakable "reforms" of the German school system was introduced, and the misery and deep fall began. It continues to go on until today, and promises to not stop until it hits rock bottom.

Today, my old school has no more courses in physics, biology, chemistry after class 8 anymore, and history got replaced with several political mind training affairs that effectively prevent the people from comparing the present events to historic ones and thus form educated political opinions by themselves.

Cry, Germany. Cry. But even that gets unlearned by the young.
