1. Just an odd story out of Ludwigshafen. School officials are discussing how to handle this situation....first grade operation....2 groups....based on grading at this point (maybe 2 months left in the school year)....98-percent of the group (40 kids) will fail the first grade.
The big part of the story? These two groups had a migration background. Open discussion has become a serious discussion. School says they simply don't have the manpower to impact the language problems involved.
How serious are German schools about failing kids? If you are uncooperative, not turning in homework....no problem in failing a kid, and it's a regular affair. However, it's just awful rare that you have an entire class like this.
Trying to make up some excuse, and passing them? Then what? They aren't prepared for the 2nd grade....will you make up another excuse then as well?
2. WELT had a piece this AM....talking over nuclear energy research. It's been downgraded to such an extent....that German nuclear scientists suggest a future program or research won't exist.
Behind it all....I would suspect that French companies are arriving and recruiting the German nuclear scientists.
3. The German Federal Statistics Office sat and looked at inflation and cost impact. For sugar products (like cookies), they say over the past year....such items went up by 34-percent.
I won't argue about that. For the premium type cookies...it's probably 50-percent more that you pay now....compared to like the end of 2021.
