One of J.A.BRO's Autobiographical comments: School time seemed primarily an endless trauma of compulsion and demands. The wish for freedom and independence was pronounced at an early age. This practiced form of integration of unsuspecting children and dependent youth, which lasts for decades, seems all the more questionable if it is taken into account that the single child, because of the wholesale demand of permanent proof of achievement in all teaching units, must necessarily suffer with regard to his or her respective talents and inclinations. In spite of constant, always newly developed and partly in the praxis impracticable efforts of reform of the school system, and at the same time with enforced compromises and concessions of the individual to his/her respective environment and the necessary subordinations and the fears which of necessity result from it, a stress situation, to which the rising young people are constantly exposed for years, seems all the more regrettable when only the intellectual development is primarily and inclusively considered, which unfortunately very often results in irreparable neglect of the mental and spiritual development of the personality. Our sense of responsibility would ask for an answer to the question: What value do these practices have? - independent of the respective socio-political science and labour market with all its known and still only to be assumed results for the future generations and their environmental situation - above all in regard to the fact that today's social system is seen as relatively neurotic by the most renowned psychologists, whereby it was found from believable statistics that a frightfully high percentage of the population - independent of age, education and social standing - is in ever increasing measure to psychosomatic disturbances and other pathological manifestations.
