Headmaster Astrid-Sabine Busse (61) of a Berlin school is sounding the alarm, saying: “We are Arabised!”
Of the 103 first graders that came to her school in Berlin’s Neukölln suburb, only one speaks German at home. It is a result of working class Germans leaving the area, migrant family reunifications and tax measures.
“We are here at the front,” says headmaster Busse: “Because of a third migrant generation who import their brides from their former home country. Another parent who cannot speak German”, she says.
Busse says a lot of children lack basic needs and social skills: “Many children do not have their own bed, let alone a place to do homework. The big siblings play on the computer, watch TV. It takes a little child rest to process what they have learned. There is no daily structure. Even the meals have been broken off.”
According to the headmaster’s observations the problems are far reaching. Many children are not raised at all according to Busse.
That’s why the new students practice the ABC with them first: then the little ones learn things that were previously unknown to them, such as: When you meet someone, you greet them.
Busse says the situation is ‘completely unbearable’ and says “politics are only responsible for a few years. The school is always there. And the problems are obvious”.
