The pandemic has exacerbated the tense situation at German schools once more and exposed the weak points within the system. Lorenz Maroldt and Susanne Vieth-Entus describe the deficits in Germany’s educational system in Class Struggle, a feisty book that recounts absurd scenes and contains revealing research, weighty opinions, great excuses, and much that is outrageous, but also constructive suggestions. Lorenz Maroldt and Susanne Vieth-Entus are parents themselves. And they have carved out a truly exceptional position for themselves on this topic; Maroldt as editor-in-chief, Vieth-Entus as editor for educational issues at the daily newspaper Der Tagesspiegel. Their book is going to start debates. And it is a must-read for parents, grandparents, teachers – and everyone else!
