BudSpencer on Nostr: i can just speak from germany where higher education back then still was in the hands ...
i can just speak from germany where higher education back then still was in the hands of the church, and driven by humanistic ideals, which was still kinda present when i went to Gymnasium (the school which gives you University qualification).
Back then those guys had to learn not only latin, but also greek and hebrew and they were translating from hebrew to greek to latin to hebrew, while at the same time learning about high end science of that time like chemistry and even the early stages of nuclear physics or the foundation of it, aswell as biology, economics, music you name it. And they had to memorize it all because books were not as readily available like they are today.
I can just talk from own experience, i outclassed my classmates in all subjects in that politechnicum, though those guys also all had abitur, but some of them didn't even feel ashamed when they admitted they never read a book out of own motivation. I never wanted to become one of those guys who is constantly rambling about the uselesness of later generations, and i still think those guys back then where bitching on a high note, but now...
I had a trainee in the department i'm managing, wanting to learn about IT. 23 Years old, got brought to work and picked up by his mother, on his first day he asked after 5hrs whether he can go home early he doesn't feel that well because it's so hot outside. He never had had a girlfriend and also no drivers license. How do you motivate someone like that? That dude was a german born russian national, he only spoke broken german and made lots of grammatical mistakes, so one day i thought i'd try to socialize with him and adressed him with the tiny amount of russian i know like priviet, kak de la, korosho... and then i realized that dude doesn't speak russian... Broken german was his first and only language...
Who needs to know more to understand that migration is a bad thing and produces humans incapable of performing the easiest tasks...
Elementary schoolers in germany sometimes spend the first two years learning german as a foreign language now, because a quarter of students doesn't speak any...
Awesome!!!!! We are developing!!!!
