Outraged parents: RHG's move causes excitement in Krefeld!
In Krefeld, the planned relocation of the seventh grade of the Ricarda-Huch-Gymnasium (RHG) from Moerser Straße to the new address on the corner of Westparkstraße and Europaring caused quite a stir among parents and teachers. These unexpected relocation plans, which became known some time ago, have triggered a wave of outrage, as RP Online reports.
The primary school on the new site will free up the area, but the way in which parents and teachers were informed about the change is not well received by many. One concerned mother said she was informed of the plans in February but was not adequately prepared for the changes. She wants to remain anonymous because she is worried about the possible negative repercussions - an understandable wish since she is by no means the only one with such concerns.
A look at the Ricarda-Huch-Gymnasium
The RHG, which was founded on October 1, 1848 as a private secondary school for girls by Minna Basses, has changed significantly since then. The school, which is now run by the city of Krefeld, is currently one of the largest771 studentsand76 teachers. In 1958, the institution was renamed the Ricarda Huch School and has made a name for itself, particularly through its unique offerings in the area of foreign languages and tutoring.
An interesting feature of the school is the IHK certificate for foreign language correspondents, which is not offered anywhere else in Germany. In addition, high school students can rely on targeted support for gifted students and special preparation for the DELF diploma, which is of great value for many students.
Parents' persistent concerns
Parents' anger is understandable as they are not only concerned about the smooth running of their children's school routine, but also about the quality of education that could be affected by the move. A topic that is currently on many minds is how this change will affect learning conditions.
The community at Ricarda-Huch-Gymnasium has developed a close bond over the years, and changes to such central points as the location can always cause big waves. Future developments are now being monitored critically, while the school community and the city of Krefeld have to find the best solution for everyone involved. It remains exciting to see how the situation will develop and what alternatives will be considered in order to take the parents' concerns seriously and find solutions.
