The German education system burns a lot of money. The catastrophic consequences are not the intention of the politicians but the result of a (parasitic) self-organization. And each attempt of "improvement" makes the situation even worse because the system protects itself. This is the theme of one other book.

I think Swiss education system burns even more money pro person even in the public sector. For a private school you pay more than 2000 CHF per month and receive quite the same service.
