Regarding the zeitgeisty mumbo jumbo surrounding a 16-year-old girl from Sweden named Greta Thunberg, it's always good to remember the past and bring it upon the table: There have been other environmental activists before, acting even more fierce than her and following a recognizable agenda instead of a plain social media hype that still lacks

How does the "bad" look in Switzerland, if I may ask?
I know what the German circumstances look like, and you get to hear the decisive bits here and there what the story's like in other countries...
My son has written a book "Mobbingtagebuch" (Kindle e-book)
Maybe we make a burnable version before Christmas.

About the subject: The story of Manser occured to me rather recently while watching this fuss about climate strikes and so on, involving Greta's persona.
I have my very own view watching this for particular reasons - and I cannot help but say over and over again: "What are you making this fuss about? You really think you're the first to claim this topic? How naive! The youth in your brains and the social media hype makes you think like you're the most important subjects in the world - that's all about it. There have been others before, and they bit on granite because this system is pretty strong and doesn't want to change. If you really wanna change it, you've got to come up with some more than just throwing yourself on the ground and scream until you get your lollipop, figuratively speaking ( ... )

My point was that you do not consider some information or do not know about it. I simply have informed you that some of this information is now available.
And I fully agree with your conclusions about Greta's followers.

"The world is terrifying" - well, let me say this from the perspective of someone who thinks he knows what "character changes through trauma" can mean: If you interfere early enough, if such bad experiences happen, then you can get to convince a brain to shrug it off as a one-time life experience because you can deliver dozens of disproofs that leave back the impression to it "this was an extraordinary experience, this is not the rule of the whole world ( ... )

- You have read Bettelheim's book about the survival in concentration camps. This was terrifying.
Two minutes of silence...
- Yes, you are right. My complains are nothing in comparison to this.
The German school teach to be afraid as Anna Frank but the experience of people who had win against the system in most dangerous conditions remains unknown. This produces hopelessness.
Durability is a skill that could be learned and trained. My son had broken through a system in the conditions that anyone who had heard our story calls "terrifying" in one day.

Or case was quite specific and it is not described in the book. And to understand what do I mean about Greta you need to read through the book till the 31st chapter. This phenomenon is also one of the consequences.
By the way, the weirdest complaint of the Swiss school was that my other son knows the German (Hochdeutsch) too well.

But, I must say, the first chapter, as president and ministers are discussing among each other "how to we get some normal workers out of people again" - it bears similarity to a overall picture that one finds here in the present.
Only, German system until now doesn't care about any kind of education of its own masses. They rather plunder other countries for "skilled workers" and put their bets on the horse "pay expensively for good education" (aka "the American model"). Its own youth - they let their brains get filled with rubbish and become addicted to their smartphones.
The very last thing they'd get upon doing would be investing any penny meaningfully into their own young people. (They only like to scream for people fertilizing some.)

I think Swiss education system burns even more money pro person even in the public sector. For a private school you pay more than 2000 CHF per month and receive quite the same service.

What do you think about medical students that do not learn anatomy and engineers who do not understand mathematics? This is are the "improvements" forced by the centralization.

And one thing I don't believe in is that currently any federal system has found the philosopher's stone. They all have some kinds of flaws or critical errors in the depth of the system. Only one of them may sum up more at once than the other.
