I set out to bring a little Christmas greeting to the 500 teachers in our city. To do this, I drove by 10 different primary and secondary schools. Shortly before the end of my tour, I rang the bell at one of the schools - in vain. As I knew the building, I found another entrance. As I stood in front of the staff room, a teacher came up to me and said: "How good that you've come. Everything is upside down here right now!" And then she told me about a pupil who she had given time to get to know him and his personal situation - after a faux pas at school. "I'm really shocked!" I heard. "There was no motivation at all. I asked him: When was the last time you were happy? No answer. When was the last time you worked hard at something? - No answer. Do you enjoy anything? - No answer. And what do you do all day? His answer: Hanging out! - Oh, I'm so shocked and somehow I don't know how we can help him anymore!" Then there were a few moments of silence. "How good that I could share this with you NOW!" Then the phone rang and everyday life continued.
