Teachers’ Nightmare: Migrant Children in Vienna Couldn’t Care Less About Classes
7th April 2025
A host of teachers in Vienna have come forward to express their frustration about the difficulties of trying to teach migrant children—who evidently don’t want to be taught.
According to the publication Exxpress, Austria’s capital city, Vienna spends €2.2 million per year on free German, English, and mathematics courses for 12,000 children, most of them migrants, to help them integrate into society.
But it seems that the well-intentioned programme is utterly useless: many of the children don’t show up to classes at all, and when they do, they refuse to pay attention. Alarmingly, their parents don’t seem to care about their children’ s education either.
“Some children scream loudly in Arabic, eat crisps, throw worksheets on the floor, or run around the room,” one teacher complained. The children show absolutely no respect towards their teachers, some of whom are close to tears by the time their classes come to an end.
Most of the kids barely speak German, and can hardly put a complete sentence together, even though they attend German-language schools in Vienna.

I finished my policing career in Canada doing public education about cyber-crime and online safety. Consistently, the worst behaved student audiences were young muslim boys (the presentations were always segregated for these groups). They were always rude and often out of control.

Gee, imagine that.
