Bremen education and decency: Lemke’s legacy in summer theater

If there was one message that could lift me up this week, it was the one I found on the internet: Hope can be learned in old age. I read this when, after training with my handball team, in which most of the players could be my descendants, I realized again that our chances of success would definitely be it would be more if I took the role of the mascot. After all, that does not receive any goals from the outside. In the midst of this blackout, the internet search showed me how the path leads to what psychology calls true hope: accepting that there are things you cannot change and instead that is to focus on the things you have control over.

So here we are: I am hopeful that I can make a significant contribution to the future of the country 0421 because it is a matter for me to raise my children to be reasonable and disciplined people. My specialty: imparting general wisdom. This includes not wearing headgear in closed rooms. The fact that my children follow this rule is probably less due to my pedagogical sympathies and certainly not because of my assertiveness as a parent. But the fact that he doesn’t like hats, caps or any other protection anyway. Willi Lemke, I’m sure, would have appreciated my persistence in the matter.

With all the praise that was given this week after the death of this attractive person of Bremen, I needed one thing: coup Lemke with morality and decency. In July 2003, the then education senator – look! – Hat tip, because it pointed to a terrible decline in manners in the city’s schools. And then they asked for more modesty, punctuality, manners and midway clothes from the youth. Lemke was assured of maximum attention from newspapers, radio and television throughout the country. After all, he had made his move tentatively during the media’s summer slump. What a summer theater with a good time. Looking back, I can only say: Hats off!

Especially since a Lemke follower in the post (please verify the number yourself) showed how things work so well or not. So the thing with the summer theater. The mayor had explained in our valuable quality newspaper the motion to vote that the Education Senator had to submit to the citizens this week. The fact that she survived as expected may also be under the rules of accepting realistic hope: education in Bremen is ever so similar to my late career as a great handball player.

Diary entry: In the office I fail miserably with my rules of etiquette. This may appeal to my colleague F., who has always heeded my constant advice under his baseball cap.
