  "account": "The article discusses the frustration and powerlessness people feel when discussing the problems with the education system in Germany, including a lack of teachers, outdated curricula, and overburdened students and parents. The author has decided to focus on grassroots, scalable educational initiatives that can make a tangible impact, rather than trying to change the system from within. One such initiative that the author is enthusiastic about is \"Klasse 0\", which aims to address the issue of children feeling behind from the first day of school. The author worries about the negative impact this can have on a child's experience of learning.",
  "summary": "Germany needs a fundamental education reform. But until it takes effect, we must use private initiatives. There are plenty of them, entrepreneur Verena Pausder thinks.",
