More information at https://www.christine-beutler.de Interpreted by AI (Artificial Intelligence), not necessarily a complete YouTube transcript. The spoken word in the video applies. Welcome to my new interview. Today we are out and about in the beautiful Burgenland district, and I am with Anett. Hello, dear friends! Anett lives in the lovely town of Teuchern. Get ready for the great conversation we will have shortly. A warm welcome from beautiful Teuchern in the Burgenland district. Today we are guests of Anett. Thank you very much for letting us be here and for inviting us. We will discuss many exciting topics today. Anett is a passionate mother, a good friend, and by now a trusted advisor on many everyday issues that concern us. Stay tuned to what we will talk about shortly. My name is Christine Beutler, your coach for personal development and the founding of independent rural places in Germany. So, let's start with the first question: Dear Anett, who are you? My name is Anett, I am 42 years old. Basically, I am a very positive thinker. I am spontaneous, curious, and love people. I really enjoy connecting with people and exchanging ideas with them. I love being in nature, moving around—whether on foot or by bike—and discovering new places. That is a passion of mine. I love my family, have two grown children, and a dear husband. That’s a little about me. When you reflect on your own childhood and youth—you’ve had a somewhat long educational path and gathered experiences—what was going on with you back then? What impressions did you take from school, and what thoughts do you still have about it? Basically, I was someone who liked going to school. I really enjoyed primary school. It was in a village, a small class, and everything was nice. I had a wonderful childhood. We spent a lot of time outside, wandering around the village, keeping each other busy, walking together, building huts, and riding bikes. Being inside was not really a thing for us like it is for some kids today who mostly stay inside and entertain themselves alone. That simply wasn’t the case with us. The cut came for me with the transition from primary school to high school. I fell into a deep hole at first. There were different kids, different people, a different environment, and different subjects. I really had to figure things out, and my performance dropped drastically. I wasn’t doing well, and that was a setback for me. The change came way too early. There was a recommendation, but nobody really knew what to expect at the new school. It was a big blow for me. I managed to pull myself together a bit, but it wasn’t like everything was super hard. I always managed to get by, was an average student, and performed just enough to get through. But I didn’t enjoy school and was happy when the afternoon came so I could go home. Then I still had to prepare a lot for the next day. Reflecting on the fact that you didn’t really enjoy school, can you define that more precisely? What factors made you lose joy? Maybe it was because deep down I realized that those things wouldn’t help me in life at all. That stupid rote memorization, which I saw no purpose in—that’s only become clear to me now. I hated memorizing formulas and poems. I’m just not a memorizer. Interpreting stories, where I wondered how I’m supposed to know what the poet thought—that’s completely irrelevant. Those were things I didn’t need in life. Now I see more and more with our children that these things are absolutely useless for their lives. My children also don’t enjoy school, which maybe rubs off a bit on us because we noticed that what’s learned there isn’t important. The bigger the classes get, the worse the curriculum becomes. The kids don’t know what they want to do later. I felt the same. When I left school, I had no idea what I should do. I had no vision, and conversations with acquaintances didn’t give me clear answers. I did an internship at a hospital—that was the worst time for me. I couldn’t bear seeing how people suffered there; I didn’t want that. Still, I didn’t know what to do. Then I trained as a dental technician and applied for jobs. The first application worked, so I kind of stumbled into it. Do you already reflect on these topics with your parents or your children? Are they old enough to recognize that the way knowledge is conveyed in the classic school system is not optimal? Yes, we’ve always told our children that they are good just as they are, and that they can go through life like that. It’s important that they are content with themselves. No matter what grade is on their report card, that says nothing about the person. Many worry when there’s a “4” (a low grade) on the report, as if it lowers their worth as a human being. That’s not the case. Everyone is just as good as they are. We really try not to value grades so highly because they say nothing about the person. It’s enough if children learn to do math, writing, and reading at school, and learn other things that prepare them for life. What topics do you think are currently missing or not taught sufficiently? A big topic that excites me is health. Unfortunately, school doesn’t teach how to keep your body healthy. It only teaches that diseases exist, but not how to maintain health. Children need to learn what they can do to stay healthy. That’s something I want to convey. It’s important that people learn to take care of their own health and not just rely on doctors’ recommendations. We have to create awareness that people need to take responsibility for themselves again. That’s a direction I consider important. Health is an area of responsibility we need to reclaim. It’s not just about fighting diseases but preventing them from occurring in the first place. We need to create awareness of that. Also, self-sufficiency, like growing your own food or caring for animals, is important. That belongs just as much as practical things like rental contracts or tax returns. These things must be taught to children. School is often overloaded with pointless stuff so that kids have no mental space left for important topics. One or two hours of lessons a day would be enough, followed by practical things that prepare them for life. How do you imagine your future? What do you want to achieve? I want to make a difference and leave a mark. I’m building a health network alongside and want to help many people improve their health. It fulfills me to accompany people and see that they are doing well. I want to promote alternative healing methods and show people that there are other paths besides conventional medicine. Conventional medicine is important, and I’m grateful for it, but with chronic illnesses, there are alternative healing paths that I want to share. I want to make the bigger picture known and help people worldwide. What do you wish for your children’s future? I wish that my children can experience everything they imagine. I hope they can realize their wishes and visions in life. I want them not to live in a hamster wheel and have to work for others, but to find something that fulfills and makes them happy. There’s nothing worse than having a job you don’t like that can lead to burnout and depression. My children should find a task that motivates them and brings them joy. I want them to stay healthy and grow up lovingly within the family. It’s important that they find a fulfilling task that motivates them every day. I also like giving and exchanging with other people. I gladly take time for conversations and find that important. In my profession, I often only have half an hour for a patient, and that can feel like mass processing. I really want to take time to engage deeply with people and find solutions together. I could imagine having a coffee spot someday where people come gladly without the usual fear, like at a dentist’s office. At the dentist’s office, there’s always a bit of respect, and people don’t like to go. But if we had a coffee place like that, I could serve people, spend time with them, and they could imagine a self-sufficient garden with goats and chickens—almost like a small farm. That’s what I imagine for the future. It’s important that we have connection and love. Material things just aren’t that important. The main thing is that we have each other and understand one another. We are social beings, and social distancing is not healthy. Looking at new learning places, what could they look like in the future? What topics could be covered, and which collaborations could make sense? Maybe this is an inspiration for some founders. I don’t imagine a new learning place as a typical school building. I could imagine an old farmhouse where small groups of children spend a day together. Maybe a different craftsman comes each day, like a tiler, carpenter, roofer, or auto mechanic. These professions could introduce themselves and work with the kids. Painters could also come because there are children who are artistically gifted and love to paint. These kids are often seen as daydreamers in school, even though they are talented artists. This way, children could discover and develop their talents. In recent years, I have realized that these practical experiences often fall by the wayside. Education should not only be theoretical but also teach practical skills. As an entrepreneur and mother, I see that many entrepreneurs, master craftsmen, and business owners recognize that the current education system is not ideal. Children often come out of school unprepared and struggle to find their way in working life. This shows, for example, when kids are put in front of a computer at the employment office to find a career wish that has little to do with their actual skills or interests. We need to find ways to support children based on their needs and interests while they gain knowledge. Ideally, children in primary school would learn how to acquire knowledge on their own, based on their individual learning styles. That would help them develop independently and stay motivated. There are already schools successfully implementing this approach by allowing children creative and individual learning. Teachers or learning guides don’t necessarily have to have a degree to work effectively with children. People who love children, enjoy being with them, and are content with themselves can be just as good guides. It’s about conveying the joy of learning and motivating children to discover and develop their field of expertise. In the future, this could mean that teachers have more freedom to design their lessons creatively and attractively instead of sticking to rigid systems. Education should aim to enable children to move from one topic to another without restricting or breaking them. The focus should be on supporting children in their curiosity and enthusiasm and giving them the freedom to pursue their interests. It is also important to reform the education system to better meet the needs and talents of children. The current system often restricts creativity and individual strengths. If teachers and learning guides have the opportunity to work more flexibly and creatively, they can better help children discover and develop their unique abilities. In conclusion, I want to say: Be brave, take your life into your own hands, and don’t let anyone tell you that you are doing something wrong. Listen to your gut feeling. Thank you for watching.
