The massive criticism from teachers’ and educational associations has had an effect: on Monday evening, the Baden-Württemberg Ministry of Education announced that a controversial poster at Stuttgart Airport would be corrected. Instead of “Landed and not in the mood for work. Hooray! Do what you enjoy and become a teacher!” should now mean: “Landed and not at all interested in your current work? Hooray! Do what you enjoy and become a teacher”. As soon as possible, a corresponding sticker will be attached to the poster. The missing comma is obviously not corrected.
