Financing construction projects - Enough equity?

Addendum: The typically German phrase das haben wir schon immer so gemacht sounds exactly like this...

Sometimes that is not the worst thing either. At least it's better than experimenting at the expense of our children.

With some statements here, I really feel my bile rising.

Someone boasts about being responsible for tens of millions of euros, but has a worldview and understanding like a 5-meter forest path. As if managing triple-digit million amounts and the possibly associated company employees requires more responsibility than teaching THE FUTURE OF ALL OF US!

Our children are what we leave behind, not some crap of money or assets or industrial goods.

And to say that some things have always been done that way, so they will continue that way: nonsense to the power of ten and proof of absolute narrow-mindedness. Our society has experienced the greatest change in 10-15 years since the Age of Enlightenment (E. Kant). The digital world lets our children's generation, but at the latest our grandchildren's generation, perceive facts in different sequences, in different ways, and with different intensities. You can no longer say it has always been that way. Countries that have long understood this (Scandinavian ones, for example) will continue to pull ahead of us educationally. We need to wake up! And this doesn’t have to be done by the young teachers who know and want this. The structures behind them must be created for this, and they will not be created in this country. Or if so, then far too slowly. Here, people already celebrate small things that are no longer even worth mentioning, but standard in other countries.

And with that, it is understandable that especially young teachers despair and resign. No reasonably good salary can console them. They come out of their trainee period highly motivated and end up in structures that are no longer up to date, but with which they are supposed to work.

In my opinion, only nurses and doctors are allowed to complain.

And the toilet cleaners, nurses, garbage collectors, conductors, Amazon delivery people, Lieferando, etc., and many more are not? Who decides that? And the doctor in the fancy spa clinic on Sylt is allowed to complain? Hm..... The problem is ALWAYS generalizations, unfortunately, people like to use them to make things easier.

After all, teachers also know what they are getting into with their career choice

....so do doctors and others.

Top chefs work up to 80 hours a week, don’t complain, don’t burn out.
Teachers work less than 80 hours/week, complain, burn out quickly.

Someone once told me that an architect who is forced to build crooked houses becomes ill doing so, even if he only has to build very few. I once met a Bundeswehr member with a rank just below general who was "punished" by his employer by being put in an office at the end of the hall and given NO work anymore. Just like many people think they are in paradise when they retire. It’s not necessarily the amount of work, but mostly the conditions and as explained, the education SYSTEM is crazy as is the system at the police or other institutions. THAT makes people sick because, system-related, they often have to build these “crooked houses.”

For a job that pays 10,000,-, I’d rather stand in rush hour traffic for an hour than for a job that pays only 5,000,-.

This has been examined several times, and it was found that the joy over the bonus only lasts a very short time.

My favorite complaining reason, which always comes from my brother-in-law, is that as a teacher you always have to pay more for vacations because you supposedly always have to take vacation during the high season.

Just tell him it’s true and that you also suffer with him........ what else do you want to tell him? It’s HIS life: Love it, change it or leave it.... it’s that simple.

Please name concrete examples regarding "..having to come up with bad results even with the best intentions - because the system no longer allows it"
I like to learn.

You described it yourself, the problem with your daycare center. Surely there are people who would like to solve that quickly, but the system doesn’t allow it, so eventually the internal resignation process begins or the development into cynicism.... among those who would like to solve it for you. The others are satisfied with the current situation and find great words for it (see also the current vaccination topic).

Explained a lot, and you absolutely did not understand what I wanted to say.

.... ergo the result of a bad education system :cool:
I always find the topic “taking responsibility” quite funny, EVERYONE groans under the huge burden and millions of euros and personnel and horror scenarios just fly around. But if I take a closer look, I miss the countless ex-responsibility bearers in ragged jackets with begging bowls on the street corner. Regardless of salary and position, EVERYONE carries a certain kind of responsibility and often this even decreases the higher the complainer climbs. The truck driver dozes off briefly, the nurse mixes up a data sheet, the construction worker the gas pipe, the electrician trainee the cable, etc. THAT is responsibility with poorly paid performance!
I gladly refer to Oliver Kalkofe’s clip “flashed managers” to guess how things go in the so-called free market economy.
Of course, I know that this is not the rule but it exists just as lazy civil servants exist! But there are also great people at Bosch or are all of them like that?

what a quality contribution, far from any reality. Just throwing around some high-sounding phrases here without considering the current situation is more than easy.
How much the teachers care about their responsibility for OUR COMMON FUTURE, I already saw back then with my own teachers and it only becomes really clear now in pandemic times.

No one here is boasting about managing millions, that's just your interpretation. This is merely about the workload and the problems compared to teachers.
Exceptions prove the rule...
Take a sip of water for your gallbladder complaints.

Strange that it also worked for hundreds of years. And not badly, either.

Hundreds? The system isn’t that old, see Wilhelm v. Humboldt. And no, compared to other forms, it did NOT work well. The first PISA test (20 years ago) went really badly. The last one, too. The ones in between: also. Two decades. Nothing relevant happened. In a country that has nothing but the minds of its inhabitants. And what’s the idea? To continue with the model that performed so poorly? Albert Einstein defined insanity as: “Doing the same thing over and over again but expecting different results.” The fact that there are harmful experiments (reading after listening is such nonsense) does not eliminate the need for change. And now once again to everyone, because of workload: There is positive stress and negative stress. With the first, you can handle much more strain than with the latter. Working in a system you know produces poor results and you know better yourself must not be done the way you could: THAT is negative stress. With positive stress you knock out 60 hours without problems. With negative stress, 40 hours burn you out. What do people do out of self-protection? They discard their ideals and put up with poor teaching. And those who don’t have to face accusations of being experimenters. You can’t get more German than that. The most annoying thing is when I hear that it’s not better “elsewhere” (other jobs in other industries). Yeah, and? Do you send your kids “elsewhere”? Exactly... what use is that as an argument?

I wrote, in the times when I went to school. That was in the 70s to 80s. And back then, it worked well. Maybe the poor PISA results are simply because we overload the school with far too much unnecessary stuff? That there simply is no longer any authority in the school? When I look into some classes, what’s going on there makes me sick, nobody can learn anything, no matter by which principle.

But whatever,
