DHPS debacle

Mandy Rittmann
SAPIENS WRITES:

Why is a high court judge involved in choosing a teacher for your child? This on the balance of evidence beyond reasonable doubt appears to be over the top.

Holistic, harmonious education is a partnership of child, parents, family, friends, teachers, coach, pastor, social media, and environment. We are all interdependent and need to communicate to stay connected.

Involving the law and handing out a red card is an indication of failure of mutual contextual communication and respect.

The child is not German but is forced to become German by parental wish. The child can’t cope with German; do you blame the child, the parents, or the teachers?

You can’t choose your parents. You can choose your school, but you can’t choose your teachers. If you can’t cope, you can switch subjects or take extra classes. You must be motivated and have the potential to succeed.

What is wrong with a standard matric (Grade 12) with university exemption for Namibia and South Africa?

My children (DHPS) followed this route more than 20 years ago and are today established professionals in Namibia.

We share this place. We all belong, so let’s get along without red cards for the child’s benefit.
