German School Washington

The German School Washington
On Monday, August 24, 2009, our oldest child started pre-school at the
German School Washington. She was about 3½ years old and was assigned to
Seepferdchen (Seahorse) class. In her two years of pre-school, she had two
teachers: Mesdames Martina Voss and Tundy Long. She was described as a highly
creative, happy, well-behaved, intelligent, and outstanding student. She was so
well-suited for the school that we decided to send our second child to the preschool
when she was only twenty-seven months old.
On August 22, 2011, our oldest child was assigned to Mrs. Lisa Williams’
furschule SES3 (Kindergarten) class. Mrs. Williams told me during our first
Parent-Teacher conference that our daughter's German language skills were at the
native speaker level. Therefore, she put her in a small group for advanced German
academics. Just like in pre-school, our oldest daughter was happy, well-behaved,
with several close friends. She finished kindergarten with excellent performance
records.
On Monday, August 27, 2012, our oldest child started 1 st grade and was
assigned to class 1B taught by Mrs. Ute Aminzadeh. Mrs. Aminzadeh was a
German married to an Iranian. (Mrs. Aminzadeh died on October 31, 2018, at the
age of 53). Mrs. Aminzadeh started her German School teaching career in August
2012. The German school system did not emphasize reading until the 1 st grade.

After about a month in 1 st grade, however, I started asking questions about
schoolwork and homework. I was told they leave everything at school in the 1 st
grade at the German School. (Verena Braunoehler contradicted this piece of
information during our child custody trial in 2017). The parents were not even
allowed to enter the Elementary School building except on special occasions. My
wife told me everything was fine after each Parent-Teacher conference. I asked
several teachers and parents about reading progress in 1 st grade, and everybody
told me not to worry that they would be reading by the end of the school year.
However, when our oldest child completed her 1 st grade in June 2013, she was not
the same happy-go-lucky person I knew from pre-school through kindergarten. Her
confidence level was not the same anymore. She was not reading by the end of 1 st
grade as promised. When she finally brought home her 1 st -grade textbooks and
workbooks, I was surprised that she did not complete 75% of most workbooks.
Our oldest child had the same 1 st -grade teacher in 2 nd grade. Then, around
January 18, 2014, I hired Linda Farrar, an American University senior, to assist her
with English reading and comprehension. She tutored her for two hours on
Saturdays between 10 am and 12 noon at the Tenley Library. I also hired Lena
Lindlbauer, a neighbor, and a 10 th -grade student at the German School, to tutor our
oldest child on the 1 st -grade work that she did not complete. She went to the

Palisades Library with Lena on Wednesdays from 4:00 to 5:00 pm (I found out
around October 2016 that Lena's mother was a German intelligence operative).
Anita and I found out towards the end of the 2 nd grade school year from Mrs.
Andrea Frater that there were special school programs to help students catch up,
but our daughter was never recommended or offered the option to join these
programs. While looking for answers, Anita contacted the District of Columbia
Public Schools (DCPS) and asked for psychological and speech-language
evaluations for our oldest child. As a result, the DCPS psychologist was sent to the
German School to observe her in 2 nd -grade class. Unfortunately, the psychologist's
findings were inconclusive because our oldest child studied in German instead of
English.
Toward the end of the 2013/2014 school year, a German army mom told
Anita that the pre-school principal Mrs. Mojdeh Khojasteh, a German of Iranian
descent, was slandering me to other parents. This German army mom said she was
disappointed that the principal would behave in such a manner. We had two other
kids in the pre-school at the time. The pre-school teachers subjected our youngest
child to a series of over-the-top punishments that caused him to rebel even more
towards them. We finally made a family decision to transfer our three kids out of
the German School to Key Elementary School at the end of the 2013/2014 school
year.

Although our oldest child is now performing at her grade level, I believe
what the German School did to her set her performance back and caused my family
undue emotional hardship over many years. Our oldest child's siblings are
performing above their respective grade levels' performance standards.
I found out towards the end of 2016 that our oldest child was discriminated
against and psychologically demoralized in 1 st and 2 nd grades at the behest of Aliko
Dangote. While Aliko Dangote and Oscar Onyema of the Nigerian Stock
Exchange (now Nigerian Exchange Limited) were attending the United States-
Africa Leaders Summit, Anita gave them my stolen trade secrets (August 4, 2014).
