No “aunts” for innocent children
Kronen Zeitung als bevorzugte Google-Quelle hinzufügen On December 28, the day of the "innocent children", which is supposed to commemorate the murder of newborn babies ordered by King Herod, we have a number of cheerful customs: In our native Carinthia, for example, children go from house to house chanting: "Frisch und gsund, frisch und gsund, lang lebn, gsund bleibn, nix klunzn, nix klagn, bis i wieder kumm schlogn!" Whereupon the adults are symbolically beaten and pay a corresponding fee.
In Carinthia, too, there was a political uproar in the days before Christmas in connection with innocent children, namely those in kindergartens. Erwin Angerer, the blue opposition leader in the state parliament, dared to claim that the conditions in kindergartens were even better when "aunts" were still working there and not qualified "teachers".
ON THE ONE HAND, it is of course important that the professionals who look after our young children are well trained and respected - and above all well paid.
ON THE OTHER hand, we should remember that for preschool children, the aunt is usually the next most important female caregiver after mom - preschool teachers are mostly women after all. So what would be derogatory about the term "aunt"? Should the three-year-olds address the kindergarten teachers as "Frau Professor" instead?
