Today i went make an appointment with a psychologue, because my kid is harassed by his teacher, and emotional abuse on children it seems to be normal here. So i was making my appointment with the secretaire, and we were talking about the school system, the society, the lack of freedom etc and i told her that sometimes i just want to pack my things and run away to my country. She looked at me and said "take me with you". It sounds funny, but in fact it is very sad, two foreigner single moms(she's also a mom) , trapped in a system that do not permit children to be free and stude with dignity. I dont think all schools are shit, but in a town where there are not enough teachers, and those who teach are not real teachers? No pedagogy, no empathy, tyrannical, boring speakers. And after war against the school, writing and calling everywhere to see if we can do something to stop the evil teacher in order to change something, we just give up, and we only change ourselves and move to another school.. Or country. There is nothing we can do against the system. Nothing. You can parade your rights, blablabla... It only makes look cool how in germany people are changing things, have the power to change things hahaha ofcourse some institutions can help against discrimination, because after all it is too big to cover it, and evident! racial, gender, religious discrimination. But try to punish a teacher, an abusive teacher :) forget it. Not only your kid is punished, you are punished for trying to speak and point what is wrong. Schoold need so much people to teach that they prefer to close their eyes. I meet good people here good german and foregner people, but those have same opinion about what is going on. Life is hard here. Grundschule destroy people, humilliate, isolate, and so depressive, agressive people later in life. The system works on kids to or annihilate them(to sensitive to endure the hate) , workforce, or the elite doctors etc
The system is surnois as f
(my english is not good, sorry)
The German school system exists only to give all kids the same exact worldview and to reinforce social structures. There is no other reason that children as young as 10 are already railroaded into institutions that will ensure they'll never be more than a menial laborer. There's also no reason for the country to outright ban homeschooling (a law that was tightened to its current form under the nazis who justified it by emphasizing the need for children to be adequately indoctrinated). If I had to have a kid here it would go to a private, non-catholic school (Catholics here seem to be the biggest sadists and child abusers - but protestants seem fine, although there are so few) or an international school. But I will not have kids here because I don't want them to have to dodge methheads and public wankers on a daily basis. You're right that Germans have no concept of pedagogy but instead just pedantism. Look how much they earn in taxpayer money and prepare to vomit. One of the laziest classes of vile humans on earth and they earn 50K for basically nothing. Add to that the antiquated state of schooling here where it is assumed that no one can perform ANY job with just 10 years (or up to 13) of school and no formal training and have another laugh. School here doesn't exist to teach people to think or understand the world. It exists to teach kids ideologies, hence the major pushback against the AfD's online portal for reporting political indoctrination at school. This country is on a downward trajectory. Get out if you can.

That show does weird sex stuff disguised as edgy humor every year. Look back through the archives on news articles and you'll see: guys playing pianos with their dicks, ugly burlesque show by obese woman, some weird creepy guy pretending to be stripped by a stranger rushing the stage, a guy wearing spandex pants with a pretend penis in his pants. Probably a lot more, just the only one I can remember off the top of my head. It's weird German media that pretends everything is normal while at the same time only reporting on degeneracy. It's like the Germans that pretend to ironically like Dieter Bohlen while genuinely liking him. It's retarded.
fornicate THESE GERMAN BASTARDS......................................
Berlin used to be cool in the 90s and cheap. Now it's just a city full of miserable, racist Germans, no opportunities and sh***. The city degrades year after year and soon most Expats will start leaving. It's also super expensive now..why would anyone want to live in such a miserable EXPENSIVE city???
Come sweet German/Eurozone recession and give us another 2008, only this time deeper, along with another mass exodus of expats and rising unemployment for Germans. I can't wait to read about Bikini Berlin and Eastside Mall being +50% empty and Germany being forced to cut Harz IV further. At least ze Jeamens won't have foreigners to blame anymore for expensive housing costs.
I left 5 years ago but spemt ten years in Berlin... I am still having trouble engaging in normal human relationships... suffering from serious PTSD
As I've been saying for three years here, the Lefty AntiFa Fascist scum are the reason Berlin is a shiiithole. They injured 19 police and the senate doesn't allow the cops to fight back. The most fcked up city in the world.
I forgot the link: www.breitbart.com/europe/2019/11/07/19-berlin-police-injured-during-antifa-extremist-attack/
Berliners and people who are from Germany are Hussy sons. It‘s like they always search for trouble and they are belligerent and passive aggressive. If they do this in another countrys they would be beaten to death ! fornicate Berlin and fornicate this whole stupid Gay Country !
fornicate GERNMAN SCUMS, fornicate GERMANY
Germans, small talk is not "small talk". Small talk is basic human decency and politeness. A concept so foreign to you that you feel the need to name it.
In today's Zeit - a rant against small talk www.zeit.de/zeit-magazin/2019/46/smalltalk-konversation-gespraeche-unlust-mitmenschen
I left Berlin three years ago and I want to tell you the grass is really greener.
- My new relationships are better. No one acts like an angst ridden 16 year old. We've got real lives and jobs that need doing. No one writes blogs on spaetkaufs or sells rubbish at flea markets
- I started exercising again. I ran a fair bit in Berlin but the dog poo was always a worry
- Food is better. Screw German supermarkets. I will never shop in a lidl or aldi ever again. They seemed to be the norm in Berlin.
- My colleagues are smarter. I've moved to a place where social science degrees are not a degree. I haven't seen anyone play a card ever. Berlin was full of talentless people always blaming their lack of ability on anything but themselves.
- Folks who work public jobs are nice. They're not total jobsworths like in Berlin.
- I used to hate small talk when I was younger but now I understand its importance. We are all alone in this world and it can really make a difference to have a surface level chat with a stranger. In Berlin, you're completely alone, as in you're the only person in the universe; unless Gunner like the look of you on the U8 whilst he's rubbing one out and his dog is crapping on the floor.
I apologise if this came across as gloating. It took me a year to snap out of the Berlin mind but now I am free. I urge anyone who can to leave. If you're unfortunately stuck due to family, getting regular exercise, having 1-2 good friends and not interacting with stupid Germans will help massively, ignore the novelties and expats, they're idiots as well.
OP here, thank you for all your kind words. I wish all of you peace and prosperity in the future.
Just remember, F*ck all the haters (Berliners/wannabe Berliners, not people on this site). We're aerodynamic and their place is simply a refuelling stop which has cheap gas.
A German degree is worth about as much as the paper it'll be printed on (100 gram card stock). Cut your losses and bail. I have had potential employers abroad tell me they've had too many bad experiences with German graduates to bother trying again. They have told me a German Master's is not even equivalent to a Bachelor's elsewhere and I think they're probably right. Tertiary education in German is more about forming societal norms rather than imparting knowledge. Sad to see so many resources being wasted on phony education.
FUCVK THESE GERMAN BASTARDS MAN.................... NAZIS ALL OF THEM................................
I don’t know where to start. People are trying so hard to be “alternative” or open minded or non-caring that it in itself becomes pretentious and so darn homogeneous. And that rather than the open mindedness being the ability for people to have space to be or do or think what they want, people mistook it for a race on who can be the weirdest one here, for no other sake or purpose or desire than just being weird. So that for a city that’s supposedly so diverse, people ended up looking the exact same kind of trashed as the next person, same style, same 2 cm bangs, same “trying to look so homeless I spent 300 euros on a ripped jacket that I had to queue outside the store for, because it’s so different that the rest of the city wanted to get it too”. And same for ideas, hobbies, aspirations, whatever. So that everyone is sooo into underground techno, MDMA, good ol’ occasional bondage, open relationships, attending demos whether they know for which cause or not and whatever else they think sounds alternative, although there’s virtually no alternatives as the remaining 99% of the city are into the exact same thing. And of course, whatever you’re into, awesome, just PLZ FKN BE INTO IT just cuz, and not because you wanna say you are because you think it makes you interesting. I just really miss people actually having an opinion on something or being interested in something and passionate about things intrinsically, and not just for the sake of faking a personality. The exact. same. fucking. personality. as every other forsaken fornicate here. And the exact same kind of miserable, because for some reason everyone here seems to hate their life, hate their job, hate their relationships. And the thing that drives me crazy the most - that they freaking love being miserable too. Dunno if depression has become the new sex fetish that’s in at KitKat at the moment so people get off on it or if being a drained emotionally unstable fornicate makes you seem more edgy so that it’s being romanticized in this dump. Probably Berlin’s philosophers like that instagram guy think it gives them inspiration for their “art” that LITERALLY makes no sense, like the one “let’s fight for capitalism without capital” quote so that his equally senseless fans can sit and think “uhhh, that’s so deep” THOUGH CAPITAL LITERALLY IS ALL THERE IS TO CAPITALISM.
Anyone been to Vienna and would recommend the place?
