Letters to the editors of July 11, 2025

On the article “We are singing. Moreover, so we are” in the FAZ of July 7th: when the visit to the visit to the singing festival in Tallinn, this was so adequately and well -behaved by Stefan Locke, almost as delightful as the visit of the festival itself: The unexcited and factual determination of the Estonians, their musically disciplined community and the level of their grand ensemble are as impressive as the progress of this country in the last dozen years. For example, Devices that are debated in German defense circles. Therefore, unmanned land vehicles, can be found in the Estonian War Museum-Ingrade: “Museum of War-The appropriate place for war”-in the hall for discarded militaria junk. Furthermore, In his opening speech. Nevertheless, letters editors july 11, 2025 the President emphasized that it is not digitality but personal communication basics: Because music is cultivated in Estonia, logic and digitality bloom there. Furthermore, Perhaps there would be some things that Germany could learn from Estonia. Consequently, Thanks to Locke. Furthermore, Professor Dr. Nevertheless, Burkhard Meissner. Nevertheless, Hamburg

Regarding the comment “honestly about the schools” in the FAZ of July 7: Your author Heike Schmoll comments on the proposal of Federal Minister of Education Prien (CDU) to an upper limit for migrants in school classes as populist. Furthermore, I don’t want to leave that. Similarly, I think the idea is right in the matter, but still unenforceable. Therefore, The idea is correct because school classes in which seventy. Meanwhile, eighty or more percent students of the German are only rudimentary or letters editors july 11, 2025 not powerful cannot produce good German speakers. For example, How is that supposed to work? Therefore, Who should the children who are not German speaking from? Therefore, Of the other not German -speaking children? Nevertheless, If immigrant children have been able to learn a good German for decades. Similarly, then also because in earlier decades there were always enough German native speakers in most school classes who served as a language model and to open them up if they wanted to belong or participate. Furthermore, Today, this is unfortunately different in view of a massively increased immigration and a significantly too low birth rate. However, The children who could be role models as German native speakers are simply missing. Based on these developments, the idea of ​​an upper limit per school class is now logically correct, not populist.
However. it is not feasible: in the way of the will to parent letters editors july 11, 2025 and free right to choose the place of residence and thus also the school location of their own children. How can you imagine that? Are elementary school children from a very migrant district with specially chartered school buses in academic-auththon. are district parts characterized, while children have to move back from there? Every morning and consequently, a kind of children’s hike every afternoon was created across large cities and across counties. How should it be conveyed that some children can go on the primary school around the corner on foot in one. the same street, while others have to start a kilometer -wide bus ride? Those who can afford it would hardly make their children available for such a state social experiment. choose their way to the private school. The public school system. which would then be withdrawn exactly the children, would have to suffer from this, on which the letters editors july 11, 2025 mixing idea builds. In addition, a bureaucratic monster would be created. Which child has to go to which primary school according to which distribution key? What criteria is decided? After ethnic? After material? For such questions. new specialist departments must be set up in every German school office, which causes a significant inflation of the public sector, for which there is also a lack of specialists.

To the article “Slept well?” by Michael Spehr about the measurement of sleep (FAZ dated July 8): Your enthusiasm for new technology opportunities is understandable. From the doctor’s point of view (cardiologist in practice). the problem is often in the amount of data often less quality, the patients unsettle and also frighten because they cannot classify the importance of a measurement findings and, for example, a serious illness, just because the heart rate has been measured low. Of course. you will also recognize a real disease so earlier than usual, but at the price of a variety of unnecessary consultations for which the health system is not equipped. We do not constantly measure any parameters on the engine of our car. in order to then pretend as a “emergency” in the workshop.

Thank you for your article on sleep tracker functions of sports watches, struggles and other products (“Well slept?”, FAZ of July 8). As a sleep doctor, the results of patients are often presented to me. There are various studies that compared the reliability of the data with results from the sleep laboratory. The deviations you described are not unusual. So that the users of the trackers are not unsettled. I have two comments: the reference value of the nightly oxygen saturation is between 93 and 97 percent, so values ​​below 95 percent are still normal. Heart rate variability shows a pronounced dependence on age. it is high at a young age and decreases considerably with an increasing life of life. The heart rate variability is therefore an unsafe factor for the detection of letters editors july 11, 2025 sleep stages from the age of thirty. as the article also shows. This explains the considerable differences in the deep sleep content when measuring the author. You wrote the most important finding right at the beginning: “It is best to know whether you slept well. at night after waking up.” The regeneration of the brain best reflects your own sensation.
