(A)   ZUM GEGENWÄRTIGEN ZEITPUNKT gibt es in Deutschland viel zu wenig Unterrichtspersonal. Der Lehrermangel an den Schulen verschärft sich mehr und mehr. Die Gründe sind bekannt. Schnelle Lösungen gibt es nicht.

(B)   Wie konnte es zu dieser Situation kommen?
Zum einen steigt seit über zehn Jahren die Zahl der Geburten und zum anderen die hohe ZUWANDERUNG aus dem Ausland. Beides führt zu mehr Schulanfängern in den Grundschulen.
Gleichzeitig sinkt aus demographischen Gründen die Anzahl der Erwachsenen, die diese Kinder unterrichten könnten. Dazu kommt, dass immer weniger junge Leute ein Lehramts-Studium beginnen und immer mehr  von ihnen ein solches Studium ohne Abschluss abbrechen. 

(C)  Eine weitere Schwierigkeit ist, dass die Fächer der jungen Lehrer ungleich verteilt sind: Es gibt genug Deutschlehrer und Sportlehrer, aber viel zu wenige für Mathematik oder Informatik.

(D)   Zur Zeit versucht man die Situation durch die Einstellung von Leuten aus anderen Berufen aufzufangen. Da diesen Menschen die pädagogische und didaktische Qualifikation fehlt, ist das nicht immer erfolgreich. Auch bessere Bezahlung wird das Problem nicht lösen. Man wird die Arbeitsbedingungen der Lehrer überdenken müssen: Das bedeutet kleinere Klassen und niedrigere Stundenzahlen.

Dear listeners,

In today's episode, you will hear about the methods and strategies that I recommend having while learning a foreign language. Learning Lithuanian is not easy, yet many people have managed to master it. If they have done it, you can do it too! All that you need is patience, time and the right mindset.

I hope that my ideas will encourage you to approach language learning with an open mind and to take control of the learning process more into your own hands. A good teacher can be a wonderful guide, yet we learn the most when we can continue learning outside of the classroom.

I suggest turning on the subtitles for a more comfortable listening experience. Install Language Reactor to translate the Lithuanian titles into your native language.

Also, if you wish to receive the full transcript of this episode, please head to my Contribee. There you will find all the podcast's transcripts, longer format Lithuanian with Paulius recordings and more.

Man Fired for Keeping Webcam Off Awarded $73,000
A remote worker who was fired for refusing to keep his camera on while working has been awarded about $73,000 by a Dutch court.

The man, whose name was not made public, had been working for the US software company Chetu in the Netherlands since 2019. On August 23, 2022, while working remotely, he was told by his employer that he should keep his webcam on all day for online training.

The employee said he didn't feel comfortable being monitored on camera for nine hours, and refused to do so. He added that the company could already see all activities on his laptop and that he was also sharing his screen.

But Chetu said that having a camera on was no different from being watched in an office. And the company fired him.

Finding this unfair, the man took the company to court in the Netherlands. He told the court that he hadn't been given clear enough reasons for being fired, and that asking him to keep his camera on for the whole workday was against his right to privacy.

And the court agreed. Chetu now must pay the man about $73,000.

While using a webcam to check on employees may not be very common, computer programs that monitor employee activity have become popular.

A survey from 2021 found that 60% of US companies with remote workers were using employee monitoring software, and 81% of those companies found that their workers were more productive while being monitored.
