German public primary school regulations: Everyone is different, some are young, some are old, some are noisy, some are quiet, some are tall, some are short, some are strong, some are weak, some are fast, some are slow. But everyone is important, everyone has value, and this is true in school as well. All of us, students and teachers, including school staff, want to feel comfortable and happy in our interactions, so we need rules. Here are our interaction rules: We should care about each other's feelings, when we meet at school we should greet each other, as teachers and parents we should set a good example for the children. What kind of example? We don’t use our phones to make calls or take photos casually at school, we don’t do things that harm others, and if mistakes or oversights happen, we should apologize and actively address them. We should proactively ask children what help they need, and lastly, everyone has the right to learn at school. Besides this, the first lesson for German children in kindergarten is not unity and friendship, but learning to say no. Of course, we should be polite, but that doesn’t mean we have to be polite all the time. If someone hurts your feelings, you don’t have to be so polite to them. Politeness is a good quality, but your feelings are more important than theirs. If this is considered selfish by others, then let the child be a selfish person, because you don’t need to be liked by everyone, and it’s impossible to satisfy everyone. Additionally, a characteristic of the rules in German primary schools is that these rules are not just for the children; teachers, parents, and even school staff should also set an example for the children. And it is clearly stated that the purpose of these rules is not to limit you, but to allow us to interact more pleasantly at school. A child is first a person, and only then a student.
