Berlin School Teachers Sound Alarm Over Violence and Chaos

Friedrich-Bergius-Schule staff report daily threats, aggressive behavior, and lack of support in a detailed letter to authorities.

Teachers at Friedrich-Bergius-Schule in Berlin have issued a seven-page letter describing severe issues with violence, threats, and mobbing by students.
The school cites daily incidents of verbal and physical aggression, with many students struggling with basic behavioral norms and educational standards.
Over 80% of the students come from non-German-speaking households, and some have never attended school before, compounding the challenges.
The letter demands increased staffing, including more teachers, a dedicated school psychologist, and a security presence to manage escalating situations.
Berlin's education senator plans a visit to assess the situation, as comparisons are drawn to the infamous Rütli-Schule crisis of 2006.
