Ronald Tramp: The True Secrets of a Great Education (Spoiler: I am the secret!)
If you thought the education system worked before, wait until you see my brilliant plan!
Oh, dear citizens of Internetland! Here is Ronald Tramp again. I thought after running the wonderful Elmburg I could sit back and go golfing, but NO! The internet needs me! And who am I not to give the internet what it needs?
So, let's talk about teachers, especially in North Rhine-Westphalia. Ah, North Rhine-Westphalia. A place where teachers are so overwhelmed that they don't want to correct class tests anymore. Come on, people! In my time - and it was the best time, believe me - we not only corrected the papers of our own class, but also those of the neighbouring class, while we walked the snowy path to school, uphill in both directions!
NRW School Minister Dorothee Feller wants to reduce stress for teachers. Well, I have a brilliant idea! Why don't we let the pupils correct their own work? They could learn independence and responsibility at the same time. And hey, if every student gives themselves full marks, then we have 100% success! Problem solved, right?
I've heard that there's also a teacher shortage in Berlin and Brandenburg. Of course! Who wants to work in a city where every third street name is unpronounceable? I mean, who comes up with names like "Friedrich-Krause-Ufer" or "Schönhauser Allee"? In Elmburg we have street names like "Tramp Avenue" - short, sweet and easy to remember.
