Did you get loan equipment for the mandatory online lessons if none were available?

The immediate equipping program of the federal and state governments serves to provide the needy with technical means by the school authorities. This is to ensure that every student can take part in distance learning without a PC, laptop or associated peripherals. Only in this way can an obligation be justified in a purely logical manner. Keyword equal opportunities.

Now my school management recently pointed out this obligation, on the decision I wanted to seek advice in my previous question, but did not formulate it precisely enough. Current problem: The school management makes the students responsible for ensuring the functioning of the technical requirements for video conferences, the Moodle platform, etc. Themselves. For me this is a contradiction in terms of the regulation of the funding measures

You can write here, so you can also take your online class.

Otherwise, in my federal state there are theoretically iPads for everyone (although this is hardly necessary on this scale) and possibly also mobile routers. And that is also the case in every federal state. At least in individual cases. And completely regardless of what you're gossiping about.

I'm concerned with the principle. I'm interested in how those affected deal with the situation. Also, one must consider the possibility that if equipment is present, it may be personal property. I think this is important to mention because private use can lead to damage and malfunction, e.g. Virus attack or accident. The school does not have to dictate the type of use with private property. After all, a home office worker is also entitled to a business laptop or may use a company cell phone to separate business from private matters, among other things

We provided school equipment to students who did not have a terminal and we currently have 2 students sitting in empty classrooms because they do not have Wi-Fi at home.
Our lessons take place online throughout. Of course it throws one or the other student out of a video conference, but by and large it works.

That it is possible, however, requires that parents report to the schools that it is technically not possible at home to follow the lessons.

As a student, you not only have rights, but also obligations. If it doesn't suit you, then look for an apprenticeship.

I have no idea why you complain at such a high level, that becomes more and more evident with every question you ask.

The federal and state governments provide the funds, schools buy the necessary technical equipment and lend it to students who do not have any.

You have to make sure that the internet connection is stable so that you can attend classes without any problems.

Moodle platform was not prepared for the flood of all the students, hence the big problems at the beginning. Now they have upgraded their servers and to the best of my knowledge everything is running smoothly.

You are old enough to solve any problem on your own. You want to be treated as adults, so act like that.

You may find out about auxiliary programs and make use of them. The school management will not buy everyone afterwards. Schooling is compulsory and personal responsibility is also required. So those affected take care of themselves. You can't tell that many people are needy at the tip of their noses. Just like when almost everyone has a smartphone with which one could take part in online lessons. You're constructing a problem that doesn't exist.

I'm in a school education. Often we do not get what is going on from the teachers. Sometimes a lecturer does not even consider it necessary to provide us with teaching materials on the platform as long as we do not constantly point this out to him. And a sovereign internet connection in Germany, the land of bamboo? Nice try. I would rather speak of force majeure here, over which I have no control

Su

Halo effect. That explains the distorted perception. It's like you state that need may or may not exist

Su

There's no distorted perception here. Everyone is responsible for themselves. If you take a distorted note of yourself, then the halo effect definitely occurs (person A to person A 😂). The schools simply have no knowledge of who has what. And that's just as well. And no effect from social psychology.

The question why?

I just wouldn't take part, it's like the exams.

"Your" school management, whoever it may be, provides you with a table and paper and pens and you just bring the thing between your ears into shape.

Who will need the grades again?

Su

Confused is only the legal basis. Besides, I don't study for grades, but for my own sake

Su

Politicians tend to hide behind responsibilities. Digitization is admittedly not a German strength

Su

Germany is a digital developing country. Decision-makers pass the necessary actions on to local authorities and institutions. Because there's always an election campaign somewhere.

I'm only going into the title now because the rest of your question is too confusing for me.

No. I have not received anything, but I have no need either. At my mother's school they received such a limited number of devices that, as far as I know, only three children, possibly a few more, but definitely not more than 10, could be equipped. They then also bear full responsibility if damage occurs, which on the one hand may be justified, but on the other hand makes little sense. Damage can also arise through no fault of their own and a family who can't afford their own devices will hardly have the money to replace them.

What I noticed was that the technical "supply" to the schools was completely forgotten last year. Corona has not just existed since yesterday, but students are still not given a properly functioning program so that they can work in class. And that not only applies to children / young people etc. Who do not have their own device, but also to everyone else.

That was my word for Sunday.

Su

Finally a sensible, purposeful statement. I was already desperate.

Sw

Hh please

Apparently you always give such reproachful answers.
