But that combined with going to school until 5 pm on most days is just impossible. (That statement in the video that school is from 8am to 1pm applies maaaaaybe to primery school... that's it.

It hasn't been always like this. Originally it was invented in 19th century in Saxony and was a gift from a friendly headmaster to his pupils. Pointed paper bags (standard grocery packaging at the time) containing sweets and pastries were hung from a tree in the school yard and the newcomers were allowed to take one. That's one story. The other story, also connected to Saxony, says that the custom of the Zuckertüte goes back to the school reforms by Martin Luther and Philipp Melanchthon. Both were irritated by the humiliations children endured at school. So they got rid of the penitentiary hat (also called donkey hat, the pointet hat the KKK or Spanish penitents in processions use) that children had to wear as a punishment. Teachers had to learn to be merciful as God is merciful. As a result, the custom arose that on the first day of school (usually after Michaelmas) the donkey hat in school got filled with sweet cakes and cookies for the new pupils. In other regions you get a sweet pretzel (e.g. me in Hesse, a Brioche kind pretzel), which was supposed to symbolize the path of life or the letter B as next step after A. In later interpretations some people said, its the infinity sign, for infinite knowledge (or infinite stupidity).

If you're wondering why in German a "Gymnasium" is a school that is meant to prepare you for university and in english it's a place where you work out: "Gymnasium" comes from the Greek word γυμνάσιον (Gymnásion), which was a place where young men trained both their bodies _and_ minds. English and German ended up focussing on different aspects of that.

Fun story about Latin: My cousin, who'd only ever learned Latin at school but not a single word of Italian, chose to go with the group that went to Italy for their graduation trip. He got on totally fine with Latin (cos Latin and Italian are so closely related). Also, you might have an easier time learning other Romanic languages (like French or Spanish) when you already know Latin because you can guess the meaning of a lot of words simply from knowing the Latin word.

"Why would you want to learn Latin" Thats a great question and the answer is pretty easy. Latin is, for the most part, exclusively offered in schools that are geared towards higher education. The thing is: biological and especially medical terminology contains a LOT of Latin. If you want to study medicine in Germany, apart from needing an exceptional GPA, you either have to have had Latin in school OR take a mandatory Latin course additionally to your already very demanding course schedule. At least this was still true a decade ago.

But in the end these are all bad reasons. Actually more words in medicine are greek. :D And it won't help a lot that you had to study all the grammar. You could just study the words. I personally would say Latin is good to learn something about grammar and even improving the german grammar, because you study all the concepts and have to translate it into long german sentences. I also think it just trains the brain, a littlebit like logic. (But they could simply teach logic. Or programing, which nowadays would be better. Or other languages, too.) I like(d) Latin, but it doesn't make much sense to study it, unless you have fun to do so.

That's not the real reason tbh. Latin courses aren't actually about the language. It offers A LOT of history to learn that you often just gloss over in history classes (greek/roman period), and Latin in school is basically nothing more than really hard puzzle solving which really strengthens your brain and your ability to learn how languages are constructed. If you understand Latin and memorize much of it, you are basically given a headstart onto learning basically every other European language, it makes it a LOT easier and you can realize how much all European languages boil down to stemming from Latin. I'm sad that Latin as a school subject is dying out. It's so much more helpful than Spanish or French where 99% of students don't learn anything at all either besides saying Hello or "My name is X".

I’m from bavaria and here (like in other states) the recommendation is kinda binding based on your performance in elementary school. So basically how you perform on exams from the ages of 6 to 9 will determine the school you go to and even if you are gonna be able to study at a university. The students with the worst grades will only be able to go to the Hauptschule. These students are usually not able to work in high paying jobs or in the academic field. If your grades are average you can go to the former or to the Realschule after wich you could go on and further you education at the gymnasium or fachoberschule and also achieve an abitur which allows you to go to university. If your grades in elementary school are above average or just very good, you are able to also go to gymnasium which goes by the normal grading system up to grade 10. In grades 11-12/13 you are rated in points rather then grades. At the end of your final year you take the big exams (Abitur Prüfungen) and if you pass those you get your Abitur. The grade you get in it will determine if you can go on and which courses you can study in university since some courses have high requirements. For example, if you want to study medicine in order to become a doctor you’ll need a score of a 1,0 in the Abitur which is basically the best score you could achieve

Also a very important thing she didn‘t mention is that EVERY teacher has to have a University degree. No matter what class or subject they are teaching (yes, even sports or music class in 1st grade, not even a professional soccer player like Ronaldo could come in and just become a sports teacher if he wanted to). This is mostly (but not only) because they have to learn the educational part aswell. German schools also always have a „trust teacher“ who often doesn‘t even give classes but is just there to support children when they argue with their friends, have issues at home or even with teachers or their mental health. Everyone can go to them at all times and ask for help and they will provide you with solutions or have a word with the teachers if they treat children badly (the child stays anonymous ofc!). Usually you are in a group of 15-30 people who will have all classes together (some schools are different, but most have these strict classes that don‘t usually mix with others). If you feel uncomfortable or just want to change class, you usually can without any issues. Oh and homework on weekends are still given to the children, but not on vacation!

It also has disadvantages to have such high education standards for teachers. In the Netherlands we have a very similar system of education. We also have massive shortage of teachers for nearly all subjects. I would like to be a teacher, the pay is decent enough, you can work in your own town with no commute and I like children, I think theyre great fun to be around. But to become a teacher, I would need to get a bachelors and a masters degree in, for example, physics, Dutch or English literature, etc, and then go to a teachers school for an additional year to get certified. While with my knowledge I could teach at least Dutch, English, physics, math, geography, history, and economics at gymnasium level without any problem. I wouldnt even need to read the books. But I cant do that because of regulations and I dont want to or can afford to go to school for 5 or 6 years to get the qualifications. Hence we have shortages of teachers and classes are getting canceled all over the country because they cant find people to do the job.

3:20 Until 10th grade, the 1 - 6 grading system is in place, where 1 is the best grade and 6 is the worst. Sometimes, the teacher will add a + or - to indicate, if it was a close call for a better or worse grade and indicate tendency of your performance. These tendencies don't show up on your report card, though and are purely for your personal information on your performance, though. From 11th grade on to your graduation, the tendencies actually do count and the system therefore changes. You now get 0 to 15 points instead of grades with 15 being the best result, equivalent to a 1+: 15 = 1+ 14 = 1 13 = 1- 12 = 2+ 11 = 2 10 = 2- 9 = 3+ 8 = 3 7 = 3- 6 = 4+ 5 = 4 4 = 4- 3 = 5+ 2 = 5 1 = 5- 0 = 6

1:30 No, that's completely atypical actually. Only a few schools do that, the vast majority does not. There is no need for a lunch period because the kids will usually be at home for lunch. 3:30 This system is only used in the 11th to 13th grade at Gymnasiums. 15 equals 1+, 14 equals 1, 13 equals 1-, 12 equals 2+ etc all the way down to 0 which equals a 6. To pass a test you need at least 5 points (which equals a 4). 4:50 Latin is still an important language today because it is still used in many scientific fields, including but not limited to medicine and biology for example. And it is of course super important for everyone who studies anything related to European history, especially when speaking of antiquity or the middle ages. 7:10 Not exactly. Not every kid can keep up with the speed and amount of lessons that are required for Gymnasium - and instead of having to square the circle and try to bring kids up to speed that can't learn as quickly as some others while at the same time not slowing down the kids that have an easier time learning stuff we have different types of schools taking care of that problem. It's also not excluding people who went to a Realschule or Hauptschule to get an Abitur afterwards - there's awveral ways to do for people who want that, even as an adult. It's hard and a lot of work, however even someone who got a Hauptschulabschluss has the chance to make Abitur and go to university eventually. It should be mentioned though that unlike the USA we highly value jobs that do not require a university degree, and a lot of craftsman jobs on average are well payed. 8:50 The teachers are the ones who can evaluate how the individual students keep up and how easily they learn. A child that has problems learning things like math or struggles with languages will usually not be able to keep up with the pace of learning at a Gymnasium. A friend of mine from elementary school was recommended for Realschule however his parents decided to send him to the Gymnasium....and he wasn't able to keep up and failed miserably. His grades where so bad that he would have had to repeat the year. The parents then decided to take him out of Gymnasium and send him to a Realschule instead and within the next year his grades where way better - he was in fact one of the best of his class at the Realschule. However failing at the Gymnasium did send him to a bad mental state for a while until the good grades at the Realschule started rolling in. The decision to which school a kid should go should be done with the best interests of the kid in mind, not to flatter the ego of the parents. 13:25 Beer and wine at 16, hard liquor at 18.

Here in Schleswig-Holstein we have "Gemeinschaftsschulen" in which you can get the ESA (Hauptschulabschluss), MSA (Realschulabschluss) and the Abitur. In grade 9 you can write the ESA, but only those students whose teachers are unsure if they are smart enough for the MSA. After this some stay on the same school (if the marks are good enough) and try to get the MSA and others do an apprenticeship. The same is with the MSA, just a year later. For the Abitur you leave school after 13 years. (I hope this all makes sense in the way i wrote it down. If not, i'm sorry.) I think this system is better than seperating the children after primaryschool, cause some might not seem to be the smartest when they are 10 years old, but when they get older. Also the better students often help the ones that aren't that good. But this is just my opinion based of my own experience. I hope it isn't to confusing and you can understand my english.

Also the limitation of debt led to the strange situation that 3G, 4G and 5G frequencies were auctioned to the telcos like Telekom, Vodafone or Telefonica. The government earned billions of Euros each time. This would have been acceptable if that money had been spent for digital infrastructure. But they put it to the general budget and the telcos had much less money to invest in order to establish an appropriate infrastructure including fiber connectivity. I live in a big city (500.000 residents) but still running on 16 Mbit copper. Situation has become even worse due to EU consumer protection laws two years ago: If the speed is lower than your contract promises you now have to get a refund from your provider. But the telcos did not speed up their lines, they downgraded the contracts and limited the bandwidth to a quality the could achieve. My contract was downgraded from 50 to 16 Mbit and the actual data speed went down from approx. 40 to 20 Mbit. Thank you, consumer protectors!

I went to a gymnasium in Germany and literally next to our school there was a Hauptschule. Our toilets have been super clean with toilet paper and soap but the toilets in the other school were gross, so what happened is that almost all kids from the other school would come over into our school and used the clean toilets. 😂

I'm from Czechia and we had latin in high school and the reasoning behind that is that a lot of high up professions like doctors or lawyers use latin based terminology. Actually, a lot of specilized terms come from latin. So the main reason we had latin was so we had easier time figuring out what these things mean. Plus there was a lot of overlap with history and literature too. We were learning about poetic forms and metric lines in the class too. For people who were Christian it was also helpful for church, but that wasn't really a big reason, because most people here are atheists.

Its also useful for learning other languages. Almost every language in Europe uses a lot of Latin words. German grammar is basically identical to Latin grammar as well. It helped me a lot learning French and I can pick up stuff in Spanish or Italian very easily. Slavic languages are much more difficult for me though.

Wi-Fi wasnt needed at the most schools before covid because they hadn't subjects that needed smartphones, Computers etc. So when Covid came around they had a very big problem and couldn't upgrade a whole school that fast. The same goes for online sites where kids gould put or geht homework etc. They just werent needes before all that. Why are school toilets so gross or why is the playground so old? Mostly because the schools dont get the money from the state to upgrade/renovate. I remember that our School Toilets looked like they were from the 70s. and yeah the most time they didnt even work.

Be aware this video, really simplified the school system, so the basics are covered for all federal states. The complications start after that. I haven't seen a comment on the part of the "Förderschule" , so I'll try my best to give you a better insight to it. Yes, the start of this school wasn't very good and had/sometimes still has a bad reputation. On the other hand, special schools for blind or deaf people fall aswell under this kind of school, as they need special tools and lessons (e.g. braille for the blind). The curriculum there is more that of a "Gesamtschule" (= all school types - "Haupt/Mittel"-school, "Real/Wirtschafts"-schule and "Gymnasium" under one roof). My neighbor's son was deaf, graduated with his "Abitur" and went on to study for Bio-engineer ... The main part of all the pupils in the "Förderschule", however, are mentally and/or bodily disabled children, who couldn't fit into the "normal" schoolsystem, due to e.g. access to the classroom on the second floor because there is no elevator (mainly in very old school buildings, but those still exist 🤷♀️) or due to not having enough teachers, who can accommodate to the needs the pupil, e.g. a pupil with dyslexia (problems with reading) AND Dyskalkul (problems with numbers) on top of ADHS, has. The curriculum is very similar to the one of the "Hauptschule", but on a slower pace (at least where I'm living). Furthermore there is always a qualified nurse in house and a doctor - at least - on tap. This is not the case in the other schools. There are schools, that are called "integrated", but often times they can only pick up a certain amount of disabled students. The main reason is funding. Depending on the kind of school, it is the community, county and/or state ... The "Förderschule" is funded by the state AND country (as far as I know), what basically equals with more funding. I hope this helped a bit in understanding. Take care - Europe ⚘

For the digital stuff: germany has a massive lack on general digitalization for different reasons. In school, one of the reasons is data privacy. "Datenschutz" is very high valued in Germany, for good and not really good. Great debates since decades. The other reason is simpel: money. The schoolsystem had big shortages for a long time. Coming to the toilets, a lot of schools are old buildings, often there are toilets from the 1980s still at work, so it stinks not because it is not clean, but because something is broken. But yes, sometimes it is not clean enough, because the cleaning workers have not enough time and time is money. All the buildings issues are very expensive and also full of, well, a lot of laws and paperwork. The building belong to the town/community, somehow public. Which means, a school can not just call someone to fix it, because of the danger of potential corruption. Big story. In one school I know, parents volunteer to fix the toiletproblem, but were not allowed to. This also is Germany.

concerning the grades here: Generally speaking, the system of 1 (best) to 6 (worst) is common from school years 1-10ish. These grades individually get split in three categories. So for example: you can get a 1-, a 1 or a 1+ on your test. 1- is still the best grade possible, but the "-" says that within the best possible grade you fall under the lowest category/got the lowest amount of points. If you get slightly more points your grade goes up from 1- to 1 and if you get even more points it rises rom a 1 to a 1+. After school year 10, the system is "replaced" with the 1-15 point-system with 1 being the lowest and 15 being the highest. This switch was confusing for me at the start aswell. This is done to better differenciate the perfomances of the pupils . For example: 15 points is the optimum amount of points you can get, which equals the 1+ of the system above mentioned. 14 points would be equal to a 1 and 13 points equal to a 1-. the main differences between these two systems are that for the first system you will only see the 1-6 without the "+" or "-" on your report card whereas with the other system you see the points that are the equivalent of the "+" and "-". Basically, you can only see how good your 1 really was on your report card, when the second system is used.

No, that's wrong. 1- isn't the best grade, 1 is the best. There is no 1+ in this system. In Elementary and Secondary I (grades 5 to 9/10) School the best grade is 1 the worst 6. You count 1 (=A in US), 1-, 2+, 2 (=B), 2-, 3+, 3 (=C), 3-, 4+, 4 (=D), 4-, 5+, 5 (=F), 5-, 6+, 6. In Secondary II (grades 10/11-13) the best grade is 15 and the worst 0. You count 15 (=1+ / 100-96%), 14 (=1 / 95-91%), 13 (=1- / 90-86%), 12 (= 2+ / 85-81%) ... The percentage is not generally fixed, but varies from state to state, or even from school to school.

From 1st to 10th grade you get grades from one to six where one is the best and six the worst grade. You can leave school after 10 years to start working but if you don’t you get into the “Oberstufe” which makes you continue school from 11th to 13th grade here is like a different system when you get points instead of grades. 1-15. 15 points is a 1+, 14 points is a 1, 10 points is a 2- ( or in the USA an B- ). So if the points in the Oberstufe are higher you get a better grade, and behind the points are the kind of grades.

1-6 basically corresponds to A-F grades. I'm not entirely sure, but i believe "E" is not used in the US, it goes straight from "D-" to "F" as the failure grade. That's not so in Germany. The usual failure grade for someone who at least made an effort is "5", with "6" being reserved for absolutely catastrophic failure such as handing in an empty sheet of paper. The 1-15 system in the later years is interpreted as a points score. More points are better ;-)

Me a german who watches this because it’s in my recommendations 😂 I will try to react to this video while watching it and I will update this comment. Probably I won’t get finished today, because I still have to do my homework… Schultüten are nice. I made mine with my family, there were pictures of horses on it (btw my autocorrection is annoying right now). In primary school, my school started at 8am and went to lunchtime. Then I went home. (now it starts at 7:45am and goes to 1pm I don’t take the full-day-thing with lunch and all that stuff, because I drive crazy when I have long school days and food at school is never tasty. My worst mark in a test was a 4. That’s not the worst, but still not so nice. But my worst marks of all times were a 5 in idk the right word, but it was for the thing that you just try to be a good student… and one time I got: „not detectable“, because I basically did nothing in the lessons… 😅 I‘m at a gymnasium school. Hauptschule is usually unpopular because it’s… hmm… the other school types just teach more. I heard that Hauptschulen are going to be abolished (?) because of that (?). The thing with the different schools for kids with different abilities is good, but sometimes unfair. There was a girl in primary school that didn’t like me and she forced her mother to talk with my teacher (who also didn’t like me lol) to bribe the teacher to make her send me not to the gymnasium but to a „worse“ school. It would have been their victory if they had got me to visit a school for kids with special needs (even though I don’t have special needs. They just wanted to ruin my life). But luckily they didn’t succeed, I‘m now at a gymnasium school and I‘m (mostly) doing well. 😎 The same teacher tried to make another kid go to a „worse“ school just because she had a migration background, even though she was a good student. Oh yeah, digilization didn’t went well… I sucked at homeschooling 😅 Toilets in german schools are often disgusting. I remind when some students made a „party“ in a toilet and afterwards it was a complete mess of toilet paper, clogged toilets, dirty water and all that stuff… and they‘re often unhygienic because they’re not cleaned often enough and some students just don’t take care about hygienics. And when something is broke, it takes often a long time until it’s fixed. I haven‘t graduated yet 😅 but the pranks are cool. Unfortunately often they get cancelled by the principal. lol, I watched the whole video,

For our Abistreich we had the assistance of the janitor so we could get inside the school at night. We dressed the door to the staff room up as a vault door and then duct taped strings of yarn with small bells attached to the walls like a "laser alarm system" in the hallway. The next morning we filmed the teachers' effort to break into the "coffee vault". The year before they locked the front doors with lots of chains and padlocks and then hid the keys in 500 plastic cups filled with coloured slime. So school couldn't start until all the padlocks were opened. The teachers had the choice to do a popculture quiz and for every right answer the location of one key was revealed or they could use brute force to find the keys which would result in a mess. They chose wisely but performed poorly. 😅

About the grades: The students usually get grades using the 1-6 system. 6 is the worst grade and the system goes over 5-, 5, 5+, 4-, 4, 4+, ... up to 1+ being the best grade. To pass the school year, your grades in your annual report have to follow certain rules: 1. No 6 in any subject 2. Two or less 5s in any subject 3. If you got a 5 in any subject, you need another subject with grade of 3 or better to compensate the 5. Only one 5 is allowed in any main subject. Main subjects are: - Maths - German - English - Physics or Chemistry (depends on school) Students in higher school years (11th grade and higher) get grades using the 0-15 system. The 0 in this system equals the 6 in the common 1-6 system and the 15 equals the 1+ in the common system.

If you had to do homework on top of that you would have absolutely no time for yourself

Every German child loves their Schultüte :) sometimes it’s bought but usually it’s made at home together with the family. For me, we bought the basic cone and then decorated it and so on. Then the parents fill it with little things like sweets or class utensils, without the child knowing what’s inside. They only get it back from their parents on their Einschulung (enrollment) and once they’re sorted into their new class they can open it and discover what’s been put inside. It was really fun to compare with the other children and maybe exchange a few things :)

Hello, I come from the southwest of Germany, so Baden Württemberg. We have school here from 5th grade until 3:30 pm. However, it varies, because some schools start at 7:55, others already at 7:40. There are schools where there is a five-minute break between the first and second hour and between the third and fourth hour or the fifth and sixth hour. But there are also schools that don't have those breaks. Aside from that, most Gemeinschaftsschulen do not offer a Abitur. According to the paper, Gemeinschaftsschulen should offer all three degrees, but we don't have the teachers we need. And one more little historical fact->. Our school system is a remnant from the past that was supposed to separate society. Actually, it was not supposed to promote the individual, but to make sure that everyone goes to a school that corresponds to their standing in society. In other words, fathers should send their children to the same school they themselves have already been to, so that no one climbs the social ladder. The German school system is correspondingly ailing and should be urgently overhauled. The concept of Gemeinschaftsschulen or Gesamtschulen was of course a brilliant idea, but unfortunately it is poorly implemented. I can say from my own experience that most teachers do not voluntarily teach at a Gemeinschaftsschule because they actually want to go to a higher school to get a higher salary. because teachers are also prepared differently depending on what level they are supposed to teach at. Apart from that, the system around teachers in general is absolutely stupid. If you are not a civil servant but only an employee, you will most likely be dismissed during the summer vacations and will not get a salary for six weeks. You are not hired again until school starts and that is not even guaranteed. That means if they don't want you anymore, you don't have a job. In this case, fortunately, we have a shortage of teachers, so it is very likely that you will get your job back at the end of the summer vacations. Teachers are not role models anymore and getting a grip on the students nowadays is an absolute disaster. Teachers are no longer authority figures. Just what I know. PS. I am a Student.

Where I went to school we had Gymnasium and Gesamtschule. There might have been another type of school, but I never came across it and don't know anyone that went to one. The teachers recommend if you should go to a Gymnasium or not after the 4th grade. Wether you listen to them or not is your own choice. But some kids struggle in elementary school and will have a better time at the Gesamtschule. With both types of schools you have exams for Realschulabschluss and Hauptschulabschluss in the according years. And after the first exam you could be done with school at any time if you want to even if you are going to the Gymnasium. It just depends on what you want to do or become. Changing between the school types is also possible if at one point you decide that the other school type is better suited to you. Although changing from Gesamtschule to Gymnasium isn't done often as at the Gymnasium as the students often are further along in the subjects and the lessons are seen as more difficult, so the student may struggle if he does the change

We had a school where the architects had the grandiose idea of not drawing up the walls of the bathroom buildings (yes, they were in an extra "house" outside the main building) to the ceiling so that any stink could immediately disappear (the intention, presumably). That also meant that it would be icy cold in winter in those bathrooms and that anyone outside could hear what was going on inside plus the boys would throw little rocks and stuff inside. Also, another stupid feature: you had to estimate the amount of toilet paper you'd need beforehand and rip it off before going into the bathroom stall... luckily, we knew where the teacher's toilets were and they were not always locked... and you betcha those were clean.

"gross toilets" is a funny way to describe those junkyards of bathrooms some schools have. In most schools (at least from what I've seen in my 18 years of life in Germany) the toilets are tolerable, like generally clean, sure, there is a good chance you will get some infection because of the condition they're in, but it's generally okay to use them. Now those where the normal toilets but there are actually schools, where the cabin toilets (I guess they are called so in english) have walls or doors with giant holes in them, there is legitimate shit on the ceiling somewhere and 3 out of 4 walls have mould on them. Also it can sometimes happen that there is no water in the bathroom to wash your hands and when it's there, it's honestly questionable to use the water because it's not that unlikely you will actually end up with some serious infection if you do. I think that sums up the German toilet situation in schools at least for the hygiene part. Also another thing: Everything that has to do with the digitally connecting stuff and the internet in general in some way or another is a complete disaster here in Germany. The standard internet speed of a house, which is not located in a city is about 16 Mbps per contract, in realty it's more like 6-8 Mbps.

Prepare yourselves for a long-ass comment (I won’t proofread lol): Here‘s a bit about my school (it’s a Gymnasium): The Years are grouped as follows: Grundschule is Years 1-4, Gymnasium is 5-10 with the oldest years being K1/2. The length of school days varies due to the year you’re in: Year 5s only have until 13:00 o‘clock, every year above gets 2 additional lessons in the afternoon until 15:20 or 3 until 16:20, all of us end at 13:00 on Wednesdays so the teachers can literally have meetings about the classes. School begins at 7:45 (so early!) Instead of buying uniforms, we have to buy not only stationery, but also all our exercise books/folders as well. That’s around 150€ if you buy everything new (so you don’t continue leftovers from the last year)! The school grounds are quite big for a school in Germany. The grounds of the school I went to in England were at least 10-15x as big though. There are multiple buildings, as in 9, all dedicated to a certain area of knowledge: the Main Building (classrooms), the science building, the languages building, the arts building, 2 sports halls and more. There are many after school clubs you can join (if school ends at 13:00 on the correct day for you, otherwise you‘d have to skip lessons to go), but they’re mostly orchestras, choirs or sports clubs. In Year 5, you have English as another language to learn, in Year 6 it’s either French or Latin. If you choose Latin, you can pick between Spanish and French in Year 8, if it’s French you have a choice of Spanish or sciences (Latin is really cool by the way). Competitive sports really aren’t important, sport lessons aren’t either: you either have 90 minutes or 180 minutes a week - so either one or two double lessons. We also just have multi-purpose courts, so we don’t have designated courts for different types of sports. We only get swimming lessons every second week in Year 6 - never again, which is stupid, because swimming is important. We write 2 exams in subjects like Biology, Physics, Chemistry, Geography, Politics (why is that even a subject?!), Economy, History, Religious Studies and sometimes in Music. Im the main subjects Latin, English, German, Maths and Spanish (Maths and the languages you picked) we write 4 - all this excludes (vocabulary) tests. All of it is also marked and counts for the marks you receive in the reports after the end of the first half of the year and at the school year’s end. We don’t have restrictions on homework for the weekend, but from Year 7 onwards we have something called “Aufgabenorientierter Unterricht (AOU). AOU means you practice more exercises during school (which means 5! 'hours' of Maths instead of 4 a week), but we can still get homework today due tomorrow. Haupt- and Realschule are for those are for the less exceptionally clever pupils. Gymnasiums are for the other, 'exceptionally' clever ones. Your teachers after the Grundschule generally 'suggest' the type of school you follow in to after Year 4. Your legal guardians usually chat with you to then see which specific school you wish to go to, then you have to apply. If, at the end of the year, your report is bad enough, you either have to repeat that year or move to a different stream. If your behaviour is bad enough, you’re likely to get kicked from the school entirely, although that does take some awful misbehaving. My school is generally Protestant, but we’re not strickt about religion and pretentious stuff. Until Year 7, you must join chapel services once a week and always have R.S. as a subject. We’re mostly split after our religion, though, so Catholic or Protestant. Some Years in between are mixed. Since August, our digitally well-performing school has been spread across three platforms: one for communication, one for god knows what and the last for a he substitution plan (there’s no other way for translating that 😅). We have a double lesson of I.C.T. in Year 6, though, but it doesn’t usually help much. School toilets are gross everywhere anyway, so let’s leave that topic well alone. From Year 7 onwards, makes and females are separated for sports lessons. The boys get to do cool stuff like rings, whereas we girls are seen as to weak to do this and have to dance instead. I disagree with the boy near 11:50 in that aspect, although the girls are favoured due to behaving better than the boys in most scenarios. Our school grounds are also quite mature friendly. It consists of a small car park (most of the students and teachers come by bike, trams, buses or on foot, few come by car), the buildings, a sports court and a park. (Our Wi-Fi also sucks, but that depends on the school. The 'outside-world-Wi-Fi' is usually fine, though.) The graduation stuff includes a ball, a party and the Abistreich. The graduates then usually stand around near the entrance gate blasting beer into bystanders‘ faces 😒. The end of the school year for other Yeargroups is boring. Nothing happens. It feels like you’re just dismissed for a 6-week-long weekend. It’s plain and unspectacular. In Germany, the consume of alcohol is allowed at: 14 with guidance of a parent/legal guardian, 16 without guidance, 18 (not too strong drinks) Something over 20/21 for string drinks like Vodka. This was a long-ass comment oh my god.

the "cone" or better known as Schultüte is a gift from your family and like she said mostly filled with candy, Sweets, school suppliese and small toys. its different in size, i got one which was almost double my size :D the grade system isnt always the same! Gesamtschule, Förderschule and Gymnasium mostly use a different grading system than Hauptschule, Realschule or Primary school. in Primary school and Haupt/Realschule, you get grades from 1-6, one represents an A, and 6 represents a F. So 1=A, 2=B, 3=C, 4=D, 5=E, 6=F. it isnt commen to get a 1+, 1 is really the best. Mostly the teachers help with deciding where you go after Primary school. But the parents decide. i personally havnt heard of "The teacher decides where you go". Langauge lerning depends on the school. at my primary school we learned english at class 2-4 and in Realschule we also only had English as other langage class besides German ofc. But when i started my Abitur, i was able to decide how many langauges i wanted to learn. You had to take German and English, but i was able to decide if i want to use French or Spanich, and for extra lesson i was allowed to choose from Japanese, Latin, Turkish, Russian, Greek, Swiss and Old german. I took Latin and old german cuz i know Swiss and im not interested in the ones i didnt take :) i tell you something about the school toilets. i went on 3 schools. Primary (Grundschule) Realschule and at last Gymnasium for my Abitur and each school had stinky, bad looking and also moldy bathrooms. The teachers bathrooms were clean as heck, but we kids, especially if you arent a boy, we just didnt go to toilet. in all of my 1-4 years in Primary school, i didnt go once on that nasty school toilet. Most schools dont have Lockers! you only get them in like Gesamtschule or Gymnasium but dont think its normal for every pupil to have one, you need to pay for it, monthly around 6-12€ depending on size. we had in primary school and realschule 1 own classroom for each class where was a shelf with some coloured plastic boxes to store some books etc. Yes! german schools arent allowed to give you a whole bunch of homework over the weekend, but the rule variates in states and also school. At my primary school, we were only allowed to have 3 homework over the weekend. Mostly German, Math and maybe Biology/ English or History. During Holidays, we dont get any or you need to make a presentation about something after holidays, but thats more rare. Boys and Girls have sport together, different changing rooms tho (!) that includes Swimming lesson, Ball sports, athletic sports etc. We usually dont have a team which represents a school like you guys have in america. Also, the Janitor isnt the one whos cleaning the school! cleaning woman/men are ordered for it, one day at the week (no wonder why the bathrooms are smelly...) Germany is really far behind in terms of Internet and computers, and not only at schools ;)

Greetings from Germany ^^ when I was a kid the school system was more complicated than now. We had (and still have) the Grundschule (Elementary school) from class 1 to class 4. But than you went to the Orientierungsschule. Translated word for word it means Orientation school. This school was only for class 5 and 6, and after the Orientierungsschule you have to go to the Hauptschule or Realschule or Gymnasium. But we don´t have the Orientierungsschule anymore. There is one more thing witch wasn´t in the video. The Hauptschule is for pupils who are... um... not so smart 😬 with an graduation from the Hauptschule it´s very hard to finde a good job. Most of the pupils don´t have a apprenticeship when they finish school. The Realschule is better but the Gymnasium is the best. By the way the part about languages ( 4:30 ) is not really correct. At the Hauptschule you learn only german and basic english. At the Realschule you learn german, english and french. The Gymnasium is the only school where you can learn latin. At the Gymnasium you learn german, english, latin, french and greek, and if you want it you can also learn italian, spanish and russian. Languages are a big thing in german schools 😉

about the grading: instead of A..F we have 1..6 *grades* , but in some gymnasiums (depending on state) you'd be essentially only told 15..0 *points* in higher classes (until then everything gets tallied up to a grade on your final exam), with each 3 numbers corresponding to a "normal grade" and its +/- variant. so 15..13 points is a 1+ to 1- (A+ to A-), 12..10 is a 2 (B), .... , and 0 points is a 6 (F). and the threshold for passing a class is 5 points or grade 4 (anything under is just "how badly did you screw up", with 0 points essentially meaning you didn't even show up).

At 3:40 the following is meant: Grades go from 1 (very good) to 6 (insufficient). Some schools tend to use 0-15 points where 15 is the best and 0 the lowest. About every 3 points resembles a grade. So 1 is equal to 14 points, 2 equal to 11 points ..... 5 equal to 2 points and 6 equal to 0 points. One point above one of those is an added + and one below an added -. So 15 points is 1+ At 8:37 binding as in some statse (looking at you bavaria) you can still take a recruitment test to go to the school of your choosing or you can switch after a school year.

What most here don't mention is where in Germany they live because the system is too different. The "main" schools (Grundschule, Hauptschule, Realschule, Gymnasium, Gesamtschule) have the same name everywhere but the rules are different e.g. some states have 9 years Gymnasium (so 13 years in total) and some have 8 years Gymnasium (so 12 years in total). I'm from Baden-Württemberg (South Germany) and I left school not that long ago but so much changed in the meantime. The teachers in primary school cannot just say "I want you to go that school and you should go there". The binding recommendation was based on your average in 4th grade. My average was the worst to be allowed to go to "Realschule" but the teacher recommended my parents that they should do me the favour sending me to "Hauptschule". The binding recommendation though was Realschule and therefore I was not allowed to go to Gymnasium. However after 6 years in Realschule you had to write exams in German, English (+an oral one here) and math. Additionally we had to do exams (presentation + written elaboration) in either biology, physics or chemistry and depending on what you picked from those three the other one (the examination form depended on the subject): French, "MuM" (no idea what it stands for because I haven't picked it but you learn something about food, cooking, sewing,...) or "Technik" (this was basically a bit theory, crafting, technical drawing). These last two mentioned differed from Realschule to Realschule because some might have offered another language than French or the examination form was different in other schools. And last an exam (presentation + written elaboration) in two combined subjects where you had to pick a topic that fits two subjects you have and you had to do it as group. Then I had my "Realschulabschluss" but it doesn't qualify you for university and I wanted to study. The problem was because I went to Realschule I couldn't go to Gymnasium for my "Abitur". Instead I had to pick a Gymnasium at a vocational school ("berufliches Gymnasium") that was specialized on something. In my case I picked the profile "International economics and business administration". The school took 3 years for your "Abitur" (also called "Allgemeine Fachhochschulreife") or 2 years for "Fachhochschulreife". I did 3 years and at the end I had to write my exams. "International economics and business administration" and math were obligatory for everyone (nowadays a few years later math isn't anymore). I had to write two more exams according to some rules e.g. the third one had to be German or English (+oral exam) but if you pick German you either also have to write English (+ oral exam) or pick English as your oral examination subject and if you pick English no one cares about German. I decided to write in English (because I wanted to avoid German) and as 4th one I picked chemistry. Additionally to those four written exams you had to pick a subject for an oral exam (I picked "business communication"). After I finally had my "Abitur" I was allowed to study at a university which I am doing right now. I am studying "business and economic education" and I have to pick a second subject (in my case math). What you can do with that bachelor+ master's degree is to become a teacher for vocational schools and that's where this system gets complicated and the school name differ from state to state. Ich will teach when I am done business administration and math (theoretically I could also teach economics but that's usually not the case if you didn't pick as second subject to specialize on economics and business administration) in the following schools: "Wirtschaftsgymnasium" (here you can pick a normal profile, profile finance or profile international economics and business administration), "Berufsschule", "Berufsfachschule", "Berufskolleg", "Berufsoberschule" and "Fachschule" are probably the most important ones but not every vocational school offers all school types. The good thing though is that they give everyone the chance to get a higher education level than they might have already have (Abitur still being the highest in schools)

Nice detailed explanation, only thing I found missing is that in school selection, it is a combination of the score you get on the official tests, and the teachers opinion as well as your parents input. Its more than 50% the opinion of the adults involved and the test is less than 50%. SAo if you have a good teacher and your parents care about you, you can go to a 'better' school than your tests would indicate. Of course, if this is actually good for you. Parents shouldnt send their kids to a school where they would need to do homework 6 hours a day to barely get a passing grade.

Nowadays I think teachers can still recommend something but it's the parents' choice and some parents for sure als ignore what their child wants :(

I went on to a gymnasium for my last 3 years and it was the best decision ever made. But I had a lot of friends who got the recommendation for Realschule but their parents wanted them to go to a gymnasium. Most of them failed there and had to come to the realschule just to later go on back to the gymnasium after finishing the realschule. I am actually pro choice but... it was a lot of trauma and drama and pain for some of my friends... so... it is very difficult.... the teacher usually knows you pretty good.

To answer some of your questions: We craft our Schultüten in kindergarden or together with our families/they by them for the first grade kid Grades/marks are in Primary school-Highschool 1-6 1 being an A 6 being a F When we enter Highschool they introduce the point system to make the ultimate score „easier“ to count You from 15-0 15, 14, 13 being A+ to A- and 2, 1, 0 being F+, F and F- etc. Our „Hauptschule“ is the simplest school to complete and is finished the fastest Then Realschule is more difficult and will typically include a final exam. This school will offer considered „better“ chances in the job later. You can’t go to university in most cases with just going to Real or Hauptschule. Teachers in Primary schools will decide together with the parents in grade four if their kid is smart enough for Gymnasium oder Hauptschule. There are high prejudice against people just doing the “Hauptschulabschluss” and often “Realschulabschlüsse” are equally looked down on. That’s why so many kids want to go to Gymnasium or Berufsschule (translated to jobschool) to be qualified for more high paying jobs and ultimately to not get bullied by society for being “stupid” You might read out that I hate this system that is still supporting systematic racism, covers up inequality between genders (this time the other way around. Boys often don’t get the grades they would deserve while girls often are more likely to get easy good grades) and child abuse (I am talking not firing abusive teachers but instead sending them to low ranked schools) and that is profiting out of exploitation of their teachers, crushing teachers and students mental and physical health alike. And we are at the mercy of “Kulturministerium” (Ministry of culture which is the education ministry) which each state of Germany has on its own. Their different regulations and curricula makes comparison between A levels (Abitur) so difficult and confusing. Literally the Abitur in Berlin our capitol is not as worthy as the Abitur in Bayern because they have different regional difficulties of Abitur Oh and our janitor doesn’t clean the toilets lol. At least in most Gymnasiums (the school Form I attended, I don’t know how it is in run down schools or in Hauptschulen) there is cleaning staff that will go around after hours to clean the school including toilets but even with cleaning staff toilets are always malfunctioning and gross because there is like one cleaning lady for two hours for a whole school complex that also has to mopp the floors and classrooms And yes generally speaking Germany completely failed at digitalization. Many villages have bad or non existing WiFi connections and schools are too poorly funded to have WiFi. The WiFi in my high school was introduce about one and a half years ago. If anyone has any more questions feel free to ask I am happy to explain and rant about our school system 😂 And yes I encountered three openly abusive teachers and two teachers with ptsd/burnout in my twelve years of going to a German school (not to mention all the extremely weird teachers that weren’t exactly abusive physically but they wwould turn out to be racist, misogynistic and or verbally abusive :)

In a Realschule is everything a bit more simple and in a Hauptschule the school lessons are pretty “easy” for Gymnasiasten( people which are going to the Gymnasium) Also: the primary school teachers will give you an assessment which depends on your grades. The better the grades, the higher the chance, that a Gymnasium will take you.

Secondary school recommendations are mostly based on grades. Back in the day (when I was in elementary school. So about 15 years ago for 4th grade) there was something called "Kopfnote" (lit. Headgrade) it was a way to grade a students social behaviour with grades from 1-4 (one being the best). My normal grades were basically all 1's so I was recommended for a Gymnasium (the "best" of the 3 school types) but all of my "Kopfnoten" were a 4 (meaning I was an aggressive antisocial trash child) and thus I didn't get accepted into the gymnasium. I attended a realschule (the "2nd best") instead. Honestly, its not even bad if you land on a haupschule (where I ended up in the end and the worst) as long as you work on your grades. Hauptschule in most cases takes until grade 10 to finish. On many haupschule you can also get your "realschulabschluss (the 2nd best) if you put the work in, in the same amount of time. Add 2-3 years on top and you can get your abitur (which takes 12-13 years anyways). I ended up in the worst kind of school and still got the best "certificate" (if you can call it that?) after only 1 year more than the others.

One of them was focused on girls, who werent very good at learning, so they focused mainly on stuff like cooking, running a household, etc, so they would be prepared to have a family. Obviously cant have that anymore. The other one that was abolished focused mainly on trades, for boys to become plumbers, electricians etc, with most of the curriculum focused on working with your hands. Ironically, nowadays as a plumber working as a contractor you can charge 50-60 euro per hour but those schools were abolished because some bureaucrat imagined everyone needed to learn higher math and stuff like that to get a job in a modern economy.
