Teacher wears baseball cap – school authorities threaten him with consequences: “Completely out of time”. Marcus Burkert (48), a teacher at the Josef Dosch primary school in Gauting, says yes, the Starnberg State School Authority says no.
“Who am I to tell children what they should wear? I believe that every person is allowed to develop freely. Completely different things are important to me,” says Burkert. Burkert is a civil servant and, when asked what is important to him and what he wants to teach the children, says “empathy, respect and social interaction”
