Growing up in Germany with the school system there I find that the one size fits all here is not working. In Germany you have different schools for different learning abilities. Kids who are very smart get taught by a higher more challenging curriculum than kids with learning disabilities. Those kids go to schools with a great teacher/student ratio so every individual gets the attention they need and can learn at their speed. Kids who are fast learners are in larger classes with higher demands.
I find that pushing all kids through the same setting is the problem here. The smart ones get bored by waiting for the weaker ones to catch up. Why is it that our graduates not rank on top when compared to other countries?
I read Peters letter as satire. The way kids get overly protected in these days. Boy, did I grow up dangerous...but had lots of fun and were allowed to be kids. My brother always says "what doesn't kill you makes you harder".
You interpret the "picture" wrong. There is no Star of David. The star you are seeing is part of the symbol of the former Soviet Union ... The O stands for Obama and our contries colors. It symbolises the direction to communism Obama is going. the jews have nothing to do with it.
