More binding elementary school recommendations become a political debacle: Court expresses doubts about the new "potential test".

In Baden-Württemberg, Germany, a stricter procedure for 4th-grade students transitioning to Gymnasium (a type of secondary school) is in place. A court has now expressed doubts about the legality of a "Potential Test" which is part of this procedure. The court believes that the test's legal basis is questionable, arguing that essential decisions regarding school placement are being delegated to the school administration rather than being defined by law. While the Ministry of Education disagrees and maintains the test results are valid, the opposition party views the court's concerns as a "legal slap in the face" to the state government. This comes after another element of the procedure, the "Kompass 4" competency test, has already been widely criticized for its difficulty, particularly in mathematics.

No student has ended up in a psychiatric institution because of exams (a reply).

A student in Munich submitted a petition to the Bavarian Parliament, signed by over 50,000 people, calling for the abolishment of pop quizzes ("Stegreifaufgaben" and "Abfragen"). However, Bavarian Minister-President Markus Söder publicly rejected the idea before the parliament could even consider it. This article, a response to criticism of Söder's stance, argues against abolishing pop quizzes. The authors, two education researchers, contend that current regulations already allow teachers to choose whether or not to use these methods. They believe abolishing them would further limit teachers' autonomy and that these assessments are valuable tools for learning and development, helping students learn continuously and develop the ability to perform under pressure. They also argue that the petition's support represents a small minority of the Bavarian population and that a focus on easy, comfortable education is detrimental to preparing students for a performance-driven society. They claim problems in youth are more likely caused by excessive media use, poor diet and other issues.

"Too difficult": Influencer starts Gaga-petition against math A-levels – before the exam.

An influencer named Levi Penell has started a petition claiming the upcoming math Abitur (high school graduation exam) in Saarland, Germany, will be the "most inhumane" ever, even though the exam hasn't happened yet. Penell's goal is to generate attention and go viral, possibly at the expense of unsettling students. He initially launched similar petitions for all states but is now focusing on Saarland to get more signatures than the state's population. The Saarland education ministry is taking the situation calmly, stating that the exam is comparable to others and that the petition won't affect its difficulty or grading. The article criticizes Penell's stunt, suggesting it undermines the value of legitimate petitions.
