Church Anniversary Progr

Gloomy prospects

shows the first ETH-ranking high schools, it clearly: the Canton school Romanshorn cuts in the Swiss compared underperformed. And although the natural sciences are not at this school significantly underweight. Neither in the curriculum even at the corporate identity in such an economic or linguistic orientation would be evident. It would also not on behalf of the Canton schools make such a specialization, since the have an order for a generalist education. In this respect the results of the study while not to be regarded as an absolute maxim to take lightly, we must not yet, they convey so well what is unofficially known for a long time.

Now what is this shameful outcome. Come on now is not the idea, arguing that the majority of KSR teaches basic to poor students. Even if such an argument would be correct, one would have to logically ask the question of Aufnahmeselekion and thus acknowledge that serious mistakes were made here. It can not be that students received out of pity and danach 4 Jahre durchgeschleppt werden. Dies entspricht nicht den realen Gegebenheiten sondern lässt die SchülerInnen in ihrer behüteten Traumwelt KSR aufwachsen. Wehe dem, der aus diesem Traum erwacht. Für diese These spricht auch die signifikante Differenz zwischen ETH-Basisprüfungsnote und Maturanote der MaturandInnen aus Romanshorn. Dieser Wert beträgt bei der KSR 0.8, wohingegen er bei den erfolgreicheren Gymnasien gegen 0.2 und darunter tendiert. Das bedeutet also, dass die Romanshorner KantonsschülerInnen bei der Matura durchschnittlich die Note 4.9 erreichen, bei der ETH-Prüfung jedoch lediglich die Note 4.1. Dieser Unterschied ist zu deutlich, dass er eine rein zufällige Grösse sein könnte. Dies beweist auch eine Analyse der anderen Werte. Ermittelt man die Differenz zwischen den beiden Noten, so fällt auf, dass diese bei den 10 schlechtesten Schulen immer zwischen 0.7 und 1.1 liegt. Macht man dieselben Untersuchungen bei den 10 bestens Schulen, so fällt ebenfalls auf, dass der Wert dort zwischen 0.2 und 0.5 liegt. Wobei auch hier das enfant terrible aus dem Thurgau kommt. Die Kanti Frauenfeld schlägt mit 0.5 leicht oben aus. Alle anderen haben einen Wert um 0.3 herum. Der Referenzwert müsste also auf ein Maximum von 0.5 festgelegt werden. Alles andere ist grundsätzlich zu viel – Auch in einer Traumwelt. Das soll natürlich nicht heissen, dass von nun an die Maturaprüfungen schwerer gemacht werden sollten, um sich dem Schnitt von 4.1 zu nähern. Eine Such a correction would indeed better value for the grade difference would be only pro forma, there would thus experience the quality of the KSR total no improvement. The aim must therefore be to adapt the ETH-end note with improved structures. Or should we all ask the question if whether specialization should not begin at the high school? The course involves one or the other risk factor. Would in the event of such specialization bad decisions to be correct only with difficulty. Moreover, the question remains whether one is at 14 already able to be definitively ascertained. And finally, the transformation would be complete idiots to trade faster and can not really know the highest of all goals are, it hurts but nowhere basic knowledge of other disciplines bring.

One of the universities must also be clear. If they want to raise at the high school generalists may not be placed in each subject, any level of requirements. Where, for instance, the high schools a 5th Or even sixth Weekly lesson plan for math? Where the teachers are for it? One must not forget that generalist also means knowing nothing at all. It can not on one hand and the other broad based knowledge required in each subject. The universities want to go "Dä Füfer and s'Weggli", which unfortunately also a degree more or less not to have is. It must be here at last a clear decision to be taken to the high school students can breathe the air, while they still can. For students already run from course to course - even in their spare time. Preparing for a life in the meritocracy is all well and good, but you should not overdo it. Just-in-time formula is just as flawless as the Black-Scholes model of financial performers.

Either way, that educational reform is urgently needed and as long as I wait for the ranking of the HSG. Maybe we cut since better. To do it would be us, because otherwise the 4 years were really nothing, if not free.
