Caution ! (Education) Trap - Final Stage Tvind
by Hellen Adler <hellenadler@web.de>
Tvindskolen have been founded in 68 as a left-wing orientated alternative
to the achievement-orientted society and they are not conventional boarding-schools but a united system that based on maoist lines with
exclusively tvindspecific education, Efterskole, Highschool and seminar for
tvindteacher with development aid service. Becouse Tvindskolen do not have
a biussness permission from danmark and do not get any state subsidy, so as
a private school they are dependent to get solvent pupils from other
countrys.
Tvindschools recommend and seek per internet, at other schools and german
youth departments, to attract and entice with a great progressive programm
of learning to advertise scecially Kids with ADS problems and pupils that
have failed in their schools before. The friendly and tolerant behaviour of
the dansk advertising teacher combined with very cleverly rhetorik is able
to interest and raise hope and expectaitions of something that do not at
all correspond with the reality. Additional the opportunity of trips in far
countrys gives impressions of this "great and extraordinarily methodology
of education, witch is very dubious in the reality, some teachers not even
have a teacher education. The "extraordinarily methodology" let pupils independent work exclusive with his PC,
and in every scecially school subject he gets his own items in his owm tempo to work on. Every pupil get the suggestion that it is only on him
self if he will reach a qualification and to the selfdetermination how long
it will take, the teachers suggest him that he will be able to end with abitur in two or tree years tvindstaying. So the reality is that over the
year school is interupted many times becouse of other activetys, and the
pupils are not able to manage more than one or two sobjekts with mostly bad
results. Becouse many of this kids that start in tvind have even lost their
motivation of learning and so they feel released at all in this way without
any preasure and simultaneous a pseudo self-confidenz. But it needs for
abitur certificate 13 marks resp. 13 subjects, but the pupils do not manage
more than one or two over the year, a very adroit tactic to declare the long stay necessity. Apart from the fact of this slowly dragging schoolwork
with often bad results, the living rooms of the kids are poor and dirthy in
wodden huts without safty roles, and the sanitary facilitys are in a state
of alert, medical treatment does not exsist at all, the funiture like bulky
refuse, old soaked mattresses, windows stick and not able to get open, small heating radiators that are hanging direktly at the pore wodden walls
become much to heat if they work at all, (contact with a peace of paper direlktly - it burns, a boys room did burn out of that reason) the washing
rooms are cold and dirthy, the food poor. Becouse of the not lacking incrapable permission it does not exist a invigilation/ proctoring from
danemark and the german authorities seems not to be intreeted, but they pay
between 5000 and 10.000 DM (in the meen time beetwenn 3000 and 5000 Euros) in a month for
one kids stay.
The reimbursement of costs for all the propagated special support to ADS
and legasthenie nore single lessons in dansk when they start their tvindkarriere reaches one of the kids, but instead of that the older pupils
"teach" the younger kids, for that the older ones get a good position to
the teachers witch do more watching-work in the background. Every journey
to an other country needs a long preaparing time, instead of schoolwork the
kids have to do hard work all day (like picking moss) to earn money, becouse they have to pay the fligth ticket by themselves.
Humanitarian projects belong to the Tvind conzern, (also hotels and cloth
companys) Tvind does a lot of good work with his development aids, specially fighting against AIDS. Some times in the year the tvindpupils are
sended in different towns of danmark where they have to collect money for
AIDS Help instead of school time.
If it would be a volunteer spare time projekt, that migth be okay, but as a
forced alternative to schooleducation that get lost, that is misuse and a
crime. Who ever wants to support voluntary or with allowance this great work in the poor countrys should go ahead, but like it gets handled in
Tvind, to decive resp. abuses pupils expectaion of a good schooltraining
and development of education with is very expensive for parents or youth
departments - pupils that are forced to live and work in really bad conditions and situations,- in favour of other support and other
projekts- That is a wrong and false interpritation of humanity.
About ways after school like studing or practical work their is no help at
all, just exclusive new Tvindrecruits are cultivated, "eather you become
completely conform and obsequiously or you be chucked out" - (formulation
of a tvindpupil). Peculiary - the very lonly places in the nature of tvind
schools, it befoced a very tigth comradeship. The young adults after years
in tvind often without graduation at all - migth get the offer to work as a
teacher at tvindschool by "aptitude".
If worried parents ask in the beginning, they get the answer . "First the
dansk laguage must be perfektly lerned", still woorried after the second
year without results they get the standard answer: "Oh, the boy/girl is doing
perfekt, he/she has made big steps in the personanlity devolopment, the other things will come!" And if not? Well than the teachers recommend
the next higher school with more disziplin (allegredly), and after the change: "well, it needs two or tree years and he/she will be able to habe
abitur!" So here we have five years allready! Hold out tactics?! In favour
of a long and longer stay in Tvind! As long enougth until the pupil does
not want anything else as tvind, tvind, tvind.
The tvind movement began in the wild 1968, and in the meantime a big empire
arised with hotels and schools all over the continent. The founder of
tvind, Amdi Petersen, went in the underground 22 years ago, becouse he was
suspected of deceive and misappropriation, the dansk goverment thinks that
he was/is using development aid as a cover. In the end of 2001 reporter did
find him on fisher island florida, (island for millionärs) where he lived
alone, sealed his 15 Million appartment off completely. Since february 2002 he is
in prison in california.
The consequence for future must be not to send pupils to tvind schools, no
permisions of youth departments at all, until there are real big changes in
the buildings, the conzeption, pädagogik, way of life for the kids and very
strong
inspections.
The matter of fakt is that there is more than enougth money in and available for tvind - Mr. Petersen has proved that, who is able to live in
a 15 Million appartment and to pay the best loyer of whole amerika - an hour maybe
1000 Dollar? Probably more, we do not know, but what we know is that the
big money of Tvind, the financial circumstances, the income of pupils
school fees is not used for what it should be used. Tvind does investigate
profit in Hotels and other projekts! Why, we like to ask, does Tvind not
invest in school buildings, in education, in good and more teachers? Why?
Also we must notice at this piont that german youth departments let themselve been used as a very lucrative income source to support in a
credulous and careless way this criminal education work and leave parents
alone with this flop and specially the kids in this hopelessness, - and even if they hear and know about false bills, they do not react, in germain
schoolssystem it would be called fraud and by laws official be punished.
