Teachers at the Friedrich-Bergius School in Berlin have issued a desperate plea for help, highlighting severe issues of violence, bullying, and chaos that are disrupting education.

In a detailed letter to the school authorities, they describe a daily environment where aggressive students threaten teachers and each other, leading to a climate of fear.

The school, located in the Tempelhof-Schöneberg district, is struggling with a lack of support from educational authorities and an overwhelming number of students who do not speak German fluently.

The situation has escalated to the point where police are frequently called to manage incidents, and local businesses have banned students due to disruptive behavior.

Teachers report that the current policies do not allow for effective disciplinary actions, leaving them powerless to manage problematic students.

The school has proposed several measures, including hiring more teachers and a dedicated school psychologist, to address these challenges.

The Berlin Senate's education department has acknowledged the issues and plans to offer further support, but the teachers' letter underscores a broader crisis in the city's educational system, where the lack of enforceable rules and support is leading to deteriorating conditions in schools.
