You are right in being surprised, because what the OP wrote
is simply a load of nonsense.
"Children from poor immigrant or working-class families are less likely
to succeed in school than children from middle- or upper-class
backgrounds. This disadvantage for the financially challenged of Germany
is greater than in any other industrialized nation.[41] However, the
true reasons stretch beyond economic ones. The poor also tend to be less
educated. After allowing for parental education, money does not play a
major role in children's academic outcomes.[42][43]" Blalbla -

So the spoiled kid from Parma (not really Germany) does know more than
people working in Germany *chuckle*.
German education is for the spoiled only.
That's simply a fact.
