“Absolute Hell” \u2013 German Teacher Describes Sexism, Bullying, & Racism In Predominately Migrant School<\/span><\/p>\n

Via Remix News,<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n

In a harrowing interview, a long-time teacher in a predominately migrant school describes a \u201chellish\u201d experience that involved \u201cknife violence, bullying, and sexism.\u201d Her testimony is laying bare the lie that\u00a0diversity is always a strength<\/a>, and her experience may help explain Germany\u2019s\u00a0plummeting PISA test scores<\/a>\u00a0and worsening educational outcomes.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Birgit Ebel has taught for 15 years at a \u201cproblem school,\u201d where she says everyday life was an \u201cabsolute hell,\u201d <\/strong>in her interview with\u00a0Focus Magazine<\/a>,<\/p>\n

Ebel, who has since moved to a new school district, warns:<\/p>\n

\u201cThe system is coming back to haunt us.\u201d<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Ebel does not beat around the bush and is not afraid to say that foreigners are the main cause of the chaos in the school she spent years in.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt our comprehensive school, 80 to 90 percent of the students had a migrant background. Many come from predominantly Islamic countries such as Iraq, Syria, Turkey, Algeria, Bosnia, Chechnya, Afghanistan or Pakistan, but also from Russia and North Africa.\u201d Ebel says among these students are also refugees who fled war and harsh Islamic rule.<\/p>\n

She says the connection between immigration and Germany\u2019s disintegrating school system cannot be denied, but says the view is controversial.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn my view, the connection cannot be denied. But hardly anyone dares to say it openly,\u201d <\/strong><\/em>she said.<\/p>\n

The extreme violence she saw was \u201cmainly the responsibility of migrant students, i.e., male adolescents,\u201d she said. \u201cIt\u2019s more about who can hit or kick the fastest. And then the others even celebrate you for it. Many do martial arts, and a toned body is the ultimate plus.\u201d<\/p>\n

She said stronger boys who can handle weapons like brass knuckles and knives are considered \u201cmasculine\u201d and others look up to them. Ebel added that many of the students are armed with such weapons and that it is \u201cnormal.\u201d<\/p>\n

Despite claims that \u201cdiversity is a strength\u201d from the left, this teacher, who actually works with true diversity, saw the other side of the equation.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe conflict between Turks and Kurds or between Muslims and Yazidis is almost always present,\u201d <\/strong><\/em>she warned.<\/p>\n

She also noted that sexism is far different for both male and female teachers, with male teachers avoiding the worst of it, which is also a product of the culture many of the students come from.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen students insult us or want to offend, they usually do so in sexualized, fecal language,\u201d <\/strong><\/em>she warned.<\/p>\n

She told Focus that she was routinely insulted with incredibly brutal language, including students saying: \u201cYou old whore\u2019s daughter,\u201d \u201cI\u2019ll fuck your head,\u201d \u201cwhore,\u201d \u201cslut,\u201d \u201ccunt,\u201d and threats like \u201cI\u2019ll give you AIDS,\u201d while others told her, \u201cShut up, you Jewish whore!\u201d<\/p>\n

Ebel said many of her colleagues also experienced such abuse. Other students praised Hamas, which became especially intense after Ebel showed her support for Israel after the Oct. 7 attacks by Hamas.<\/p>\n

She said that students would also play the race card, accusing her of being \u201cracist\u201d if she gave bad grades. In fact, parents also accused her of the same thing.<\/p>\n

\u201cAlmost always the students played the racism card. And parents also joined in,\u201d she said. In other cases, students have threatened to punch her for \u201cinsulting Islam,\u201d including a student from Albania who barely spoke German. In that instance, she filed a criminal complaint but the investigation was dropped.<\/p>\n

Ebel says that allegations of racism are \u201cabsurd,\u201d as she is a member of the Kurdish community in Germany. She also belongs to an organization, the Society of Threatened Peoples, and has campaigned for human and women\u2019s rights in Germany, especially in regard to Islamist movements, which she sees as being against these rights.<\/p>\n

Although her experience sounds dire, violence and harassment in German schools are no longer uncommon in Germany. Last year alone, security authorities nationwide counted around 27,500 violent crimes such as knife attacks and assaults in schools, an increase of 27 percent compared to 2022. In Berlin, there are an average of\u00a0five police operations every school day<\/a>. However, those are just cases of outright violence. In terms of daily harassment, the numbers are far higher.<\/p>\n

Ebel also provided a video to Focus Magazine she obtained that took place in her former school, which showed the brutal beating of one boy by four others, all while he screamed for help that never came. In fact, the beating took place directly in front of a teacher, who is seen fleeing the room. Ebel said that such violence was commonplace.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have experienced a systematic increase in violent behavior among children and young people, especially in the lower and middle grades,\u201d <\/strong><\/em>she said.<\/p>\n

Ebel also said a brawl between 20 students in the school saw five teachers try to enter the fight to break it up, with one pregnant colleague being punched in the stomach.<\/p>\n

In 2011, her school was even nominated for the German School Prize; however, Ebel said that while the school was on the \u201cright track\u201d then, the educational environment has swiftly plummeted.<\/p>\n

She also notes that the demographics in the school have rapidly shifted since that time.<\/p>\n

\u201cMore and more poor people, parents without jobs, lack of German language skills, and so on. We were then considered a school for foreigners. The number of registrations fell drastically,\u201d <\/strong><\/em>she said.<\/p>\n

Other schools are seeing similar levels of violence, including the\u00a0case of 17-year-old Sinan Y<\/a>., who stabbed his vocational school teacher Sabine K. to death after she reprimanded him for aggressive behavior. She died in the classroom in front of her students. Her attacker then committed suicide while in custody.<\/p>\n

As Remix News has previously reported, there are a\u00a0record number of violent attacks<\/a>\u00a0in the Berlin school system, with the police being called five times per day on average to different schools.<\/p>\n
