Leisnig elementary school students fight with protest song against teacher loss!

Leisnig, Deutschland - in Leisnig, the upcoming delegation of a popular teacher causes excitement and unrest among students and parents. The third graders of the local primary school received the surprising news for the issue of certificates that their class teacher could be transferred to a high school in Döbeln. This sudden compulsory maneuver has triggered numerous emotional reactions, especially among the children who have appreciated the teacher since first class. The parents did not allow themselves to be asked for long and started a petition with over 1,000 signatures against the measure, such as [sächsische.de] (https://www.saechsische.de/lokales/mittelsachsen/leisnig-grundschueler-schreis-nach- after-class teacher-bp2jvovovc6da2yfjtynnu) reported.

The concern about education and the emotional binding of the students to their teacher are clearly understandable. But the feedback from the State Office for School and Education was insufficient for the parents. The sudden delegations, which often take place at the beginning of the school year or end, raise questions, especially if you look at the situation of many schools in North Rhine-Westphalia. There are over 800 delegations there by the end of the current school year. In particular, the education union and science (GEW) criticizes these short-term decisions: "The health of the teachers must come first," explains Simone Flissikowski from GEW, as reports.

a song of solidarity

In order to give your class teacher the backing, an imaginative student developed the idea of creating a protest song. Inspired by the song "Can someone hear me?" A new text was written from the popular film "The School of Magic Animals". The students met in a church to record their message. In the accompanying video, the mascot of the class, a cuddly cuddly animal called Frieda, is shown. Frieda has already accompanied generations of students, with her experiences being recorded in the "Frieda's diary". This ritual shows not only the bond with your teacher, but also the community sense of the students.

The parents are in close exchange and report a lot of approval for their actions. Together, they call for a revision of the procedure for teacher settings and suppressions. Because despite the constant delegations, the concern for the teaching situation remains an urgent topic. The Education Council recently made various suggestions to counteract the lack of teachers, including the reform of teacher training and the temporary reduction in the hourly boards. [German School Portal] (https://deutsches-schulportal.de/bildungswesen/ Lehrerlangel-Bleibt-bundeweit-ein-Problem/) emphasizes that, according to a school management survey at every second school, which further increases the pressure on the teachers and their missions.

The situation in Leisnig is therefore exemplary for the greater challenges in the education system, which become clear due to the continuing lack of teachers and the policy of the delegations. The parents and students not only demand the well -being of their own teacher, but also a fundamental revision of the structures that cause this problem. The questions about the future class management remain unanswered for the time being and the uncertainty is a great burden for both students and parents. It remains to be seen whether the voices of the quiet school will bring the desired success.
