It’s just a part of our “det må man ikke” culture here in Denmark. The powers that be are not intelligent enough to use reason and logic to motivate behavioural change so they resort to idiotic, half-baked knee jerk rules to forbid this, that or the other. Embarassing!!!!!

Western schools must teach the kids respect. Anton Semyonovich Makarenko anyone?

Rather than stop children speaking their own language at break times, wouldn’t it be easier to combine two Danish policies and simply pay those children to leave the country?

The headmaster should be sacked.
Not because he banned something (it’s really stupid) but because he is not up to his job. He is not capable to handle matters of the school for sure. It doesn’t matter what language is used by kids to shout at teachers.
I think they should hire one from China to teach kids some basic discipline as European “soft” methods are no longer working.
Reward and punishment – nothing better has been invented by humans so far.

I think Nato should react and bomb Denmark because of violating freedom of speech. That’s how it works, right? Or the system is not the same for all countries?

What is up with Europe? First Denmark is paying immigrants to leave the country, then Switzerland band minarets, and now this.
