This no-grades-thing is being done in more and more schools in Germany since long. Also, we see a general decline in writing, reading and math competence. Instead, "behavioural trends" get described, "social competence" and "community orientation and tolerance" and "aggression management". Thats why I send my kid to school for sure! Some even want to abandon handwriting now, others dream of doing no longer mathematics classes, but computer and calculator operation.

The usual suspects also raise claims that not skill and performance shall decide on jobs, but social competence, tolerance, ethical values.

I will love the day when I get subscribed a drug that passed testing and licensing not on the grounds of proper methodology, but because of its moral compliance with some hear-say.

Two autumns ago my doctor told me to change some nuances in my diet, repeatedly arguing that this would also be benefical for climate. What should I say? I cut it short: that was the last time I have seen the man, I have a new doctor now. Politics and ideology shall have no room in a medical advise conversation.

No grades in schools, "x pride in" this and "y pride" that - all that are ways to excuse declining performance and not accepting own responsibility for it. Also, how to reward a child for doing somethign, a paper, an exam, very well, if somebody who performed seriously worse gets the same reward nevertheless? Children want incentives, most of them want to compete in one way or another. Incentiuves are important. Take it away for some ideologically founded wishy-washy, and wishy-washy mimosas by mind is what you raise this way. Unfit to live, unfit for work and employment, but overboarding with claims and demand and demanding the world to serve their needs.

I'm living in a mental asylum. Thankfully I am turning older and older and one day will die. I must not endure this madness eternally. Its so disgusting needing to see all this.
