According to a report from agency Diversion which was published today.

Diversion held for investigation 80 interviews with teachers and teacher training college students from across the country. Especially in the major cities was already a familiar scene in high schools, but also in primary schools and in classes outside the big cities it happens."For students it can suddenly get very close if for example a refugee center will be opened in their hometown," said Femke Pluymert of Diversion.

"Existing approach does not work anymore"

Statements of students are so extreme that existing approaches of teachers no longer work.Thus, the known solution "responsive to the empathy of students' sometimes not enough influence. A student of the teacher training college puts it as follows:

"Suppose students say" There is a bomb on each azc must "Then it makes no sense to say." But how would you feel if you had to leave their homes? " That has no impact. What steps will put you before you can persuade students to live in? 50% there is room for 50% really do not. "

enter into confrontation

"Many teachers find themselves in this kind of extreme statements no board and cut the conversation," says project manager Matthijs den Otter. "Here we are not going to talk about in this way."

Diversion Office advises teachers in these cases precisely to start the conversation, while setting clear boundaries. "It is important to ask through in such a case:" Why do you think this? Have you read this somewhere? " Try as a teacher not to ask leading questions, but just to be open and inviting, "says Den Otter.

goaded each other

"Students shout things to test teachers. Students have at home something caught or extreme texts on the Internet gelezen.Veel beliefs and complottherorieën they take home about and then combing each other to increasingly extreme observations," says Den Otter. It is the exciting then to see how the teacher responds to such statements.

Diversion finds that teacher training future teachers need to prepare for how to deal with difficult questions and extremist views in the classroom. They work here along with teacher training at an education plan.
