The German constitution really prohibited "preschool education"?

This is more than a year ago, articles, in order to make the new readers to quickly find out what is going on, are described as follows:

This misunderstanding is caused to the law in "Vorschulen bleiben aufgehoben." Vorschule read without thorough understanding. In fact, the Germans cut is similar to a noble school special education on the history of things, to the Constitution provides for the equality of education, rather than cut what preschool education. This old song from Yang Peichang, now even the people's daily, the letter.

Friend of patience to look, 12 years in January 24th when I first discovered this rumor has done the following research work:

Origin:
One called "Gong Kai revelation" bloggers have made such a micro-blog:[the German Constitution prohibits the preschool education] number Nobel award German descent have accounted for half of the total number. Through national legislation, banning children intelligence development, avoid child brain become hard, children left brain more space for imagination. Children in primary school before the "sole task is" happy growth. The focus of education in: 1, the basic common sense. 2, practical ability. 3: to protect the child. sense embryo, watering Eq.Chen He

I now think this is not reliable, and with such replies forwarded,

"Preschool education" is a noun, kindergartens and nurseries all belong to the category of preschool education; the Germans do not agree with the school from the "school" and "content" school training education for children. So the "German Constitution prohibits the preschool education", do not have to verify the facts, just common sense, that is to attract the eye for the purpose of the title of the party...

Then I saw many friends to participate in the discussion, but also more and more high level, more and more reliable, it had some radical reaction to me, so go down the sources of netizens pointed out the careful research about this: "the German Constitution prohibits the preschool education".

The original is the German Basic Law (constitution) of seventh in the sixth paragraph
Vorschulen bleiben aufgehoben. Literal translation: Vorschulen still be cancelled.

So if Vorschule (Vorschulen is the plural form of the word) became the key to understanding.

Duden general dictionary interpretation of this term is:

Vor|schu|le,Die -, -n:

1 Gesamtheit der Einrichtungen der Vorschulerziehung

2 (FR her) vorbereitender Unterricht f ü R den ü bertritt in Eine h ö here Schule

Duden - Deutsches Universalw ö rterbuch, 5 Aufl. Mannheim 2003 [CD-ROM]

1 of them said the general term for various educational institutions before entering school.I think to be translated into science education (age) is more appropriate.
While the 2 refers to the (previously) to enter the next level of school and preparatory opened courses.This meaning can be corresponding to our preschool or what preparatory class.

Wikipedia to find the entry for Vorschule (http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vorschule), through the analysis to explain some historical things, can see this word has some meanings of the following:

First of all, the most common interpretation of the word: VorschuleIst die Erziehung VOR dem Schuleintritt, Z.B. imKindergartenGesonderten Vorschuleinrichtungen (undSchulsystemDie schulische Leistungen vorbereiten und), besonders die Benachteiligung von Kindern aufgrund ihrer sozialen Herkunft abbauen soll. ": Vorschule is before entering school education, such as in kindergarten or in special preschool educational institutions in order to get ready for the school education, especially for children, and to eliminate the social origin brought not just for the purpose of education based on the.
Visible, here Vorschule and Duden dictionary explanation is consistent, can be regarded as preschool education.

Secondly, there is a word related to the Vorschule of the current situation in Germany: "Eine typische Vorschule - zwischen Kindergarten und Grundschule - gibt es Heute kaum (MIT Ausnahme z. B. in Hamburg) noch." in Germany today, between a typical sense of kindergarten and primary school Vorschule has no exception, hamburg.
It is not difficult to see, Vorschule here understood as preschool is reasonable.

Last.Is to discuss the so-called "German Constitution prohibits the preschool education" this now appears to be misunderstood the meaning of Vorschule in the articles of. This period of "Im deutschen Kaiserreich Wikipedia entries in (BIS 1918) bezeichnete Das Wort" Vorschule " eine Schulform, die Von Der 1 bis zur 3 Klasse reichte. Sie konnte anstelle der Grundschule besucht werden, war ein Jahr K ü rzer und bereitete aufs Gymnasium vor. Ihr Besuch kostete erhebliche Geb ü hren, sodass Er den wohlhabenderen lkerungsschichten vorbehalten war. Dadurch Bev ö Hatten die Kinder aus diesen Schichten einen Vorteil in der weiteren h ö Heren Bildung (Gymnasium, Universit ä T, In DER)Weimarer RepublikWurden die Vorschulen deshalb abgeschafft. "has been explained very clearly. The effect of these words is: "in the German Empire (to 1918), the word Vorschule refers to a school form, it contains the school education in the first grade to the third grade. As an alternative form of general primary school, primary school (primary school than in Germany for four years, in short) a year, and become into the 'comprehensive high school' preparation. Vorschule is expensive, so the rich class of proprietary. Therefore, the class children to study in the future (the middle school, University) which has a advantage. In the Weimar Republic, Vorschule was canceled."
Here the Vorschule from the sense of the word, and the Duden second explanations in a dictionary is still a corresponding, but it has a history of specificity. It from the class label is similar to elite schools (micro-blog also the netizen points out that), the time, and the first grade primary school before not that delimit equal sign, it is actually an alternative option to Germany for four years of primary school.

The German constitution article seventh for education made the provisions of paragraph sixth, expressed as: Vorschulen bleiben aufgehoben
This Law shall mean, Germany in order to highlight the equality of education, not to engage in special, so continue to (can be read out from the word "bleiben" mean) keep the abolition of Vorschulen. Therefore, the method of Vorschulen is a specialized form of school, rather than to preschool education.

The German Constitution prohibits the preschool education is the misreading of a read without thorough understanding to, no matter how you want to prove that the German advanced educational concept, and Chinese deserves review should not be built on the basis of the original meaning of the distorted and out of thin air. But this rumor vitality is so strong, often can make people resonate, it also has its profound reason. On the one hand, the Germans in education at least seems to be more successful, on the other hand, a lot of people on the current domestic education still exists some discontent. Especially in the preschool education this, think children too much pressure. The author has some ideas of his own: I have in the past"White"A book "big world" small head over translation pseudonym, published in Taiwan. In fact, it's title should be called "the seven year old world knowledge", according to the book's introduction, the Germans just pay attention to preschool education. However, their attention and our attention is not the same, they do not pay attention to the children learned how much can be reflected in the increase in test scores of knowledge, but to cultivate a child enters school, entering the community should have much understanding of the world around and others, have been cultivating what kind of value, and the how to think about the problems in small head. In the preschool education in us, we may in many areas did not really create a suitable for preschool children preschool education, is the knowledge and the content of school education in advance in preschool education stage to. For some children talent is let them lead, and for the physical and mental maturity relatively slow children, will make them struggling to cope with. This is what we really should think deeply.
