Oh, I miss my german school time ... btw: gladly I choosed to learn "latin"
Latin is very cool
Sir
i am german and I learned Latin at school . It helped me so much understanding the latin languages like Italian Spanish Portugise etc WE even had a latin day at school where we dressed as ancient romans it was so much fun ❤❤😊😊😁😁😍😍
Sounds great!
I’ve never heard a good argument as to why learning Latin provides a better basis for learning French or Spanish than just starting with Italian for example.
Well, I studied both Latin and Italian. Latin is quite compact and elegant. Just compare ”Quod scripsi scripsi” to ”What I have written, I have written”.
@@andreasfischer9158 The dropping of pronouns is common in Italian, Spanish and Portuguese as well.
I don’t doubt that a ‘dead language’ may more strictly adhere to principles. But learning Latin + one Romance language must surely take more effort than just learning the one Romance language.
In a Waldorfschule they use the methods of Anthroposophy, an esoteric world view from the early 20th century.
Hmm I’ll have to look into that! Our education system here is not great
The founder is Rudolph Steiner if you want to look the schools up in English sources.
@@UntilWeregoingWaldorfschule it could be very bad ,my cousin had an far right wing teacher as he went there.
I did my Abi almost 20 years ago, so my experience is not exactly current... But we had an Informatikraum (IT Room) with like 20 state of the Windows 98 PCs and decent Internet access, when most of us did not even have internet at home. Essentially a free Internet Cafe for all students. We usually played video games like Quake or Wolfenstein. Which was quite funny, given both games were "indiziert" (banned in Germany) due to their violent content. But Maps in Geography were super out of date. They still had the USSR and Jugoslavia on them for example.
And in our stadium (close to the school) where we did track & field in summer, they still had some dummy hand grenades (Stielhandgranate) from the 1930s in the equipment room. Different focus on what kids needed to be taught to throw back then, I guess 😀
we usually start going to school when we are arround 6 to 7 years old, depending on what type of school you go to you stay until class 10 or in some cases up to class 12/13. So alot of us finish school by the time we are 16 and thats when we can decide if we keep going to school and study or if we go and a take an apprenticeship
That’s smart. Our school systems would do well to encourage kids who are interested in the trades jobs. They make great careers and money!
A is 1, B is 2, C is 3, D is 4, and F would be 5 or 6.
When you are in a grammar school (Gymnasium) after 10th grade you switch to 15 is the best, a 1+.
The federal states arein charge for legislation on schools, but municipalities run the schools, except if they are private, was is rarely the case.
Age:
Grundschule 6 - 10
Haupt- / Realschule 10 - 16
Gymnasium 10 - 19
As you have to visit schools until you are 18, if you leave secondary school before, you have to make an apprenticeship, where you also visit Berufsschule (vocational school).
Abifahrt short for Abitur-Fahrt, the trip you make with all classmates from the Gymnasium, when you are just about finishing the school with the Abitur (A-level), the possibilty to start a study at a university.
I have a whole playlist just upon the education in Germany.
The German education system is divided into three tranches, but it is very transparent and permeable even after training.
I am the perfect example of this.
I finished my school education at the age of 14, completing primary school. For family reasons, I then had to take up an apprenticeship and trained as a cook. I broke off this apprenticeship because, as I will explain in a moment, it did not suit my talents. I then learned the profession of radio and television technician, which I did for about 4 years. After that, the German state gave me the opportunity to get my intermediate school leaving certificate (BAS) and then I was also allowed to get my high school diploma (BOS). During this time, I received financial support from the state so that I could concentrate on school. After graduating from high school, I began studying computer science and mathematics at the Technical University of Munich, which I was able to complete successfully. I then got a doctoral position at the Technical University of Munich and completed this degree with a Dr. rer. nat.
The German state tries to promote talent and it does so with great success.
Wow. You had a very interesting path of education!
none of these tranches is a dead end
that's what many people (even germans) don't get
Yes, they don't use letters, but numbers. Which makes it a lot easier to calculate an average. Up to 10th grade, you get a number from 1 to 6 with 1 being the best and 6 being the worst. From years 11 to 13, you get 0 to 15 points, with 15 being the A+, 14 A, 13 A- 12 B+ etc. down to 0 = F. And yes, there is an E. At the end of year 13, your points are added up with certain emphases (which means, the count double for your majors and fourfold for your final exams) to calculate your qualification with one decimal place.
The way you pronounced the German " Gymnasium " was veeery good!!! Not so many Americans (I know you're a Canadian) manage this as you did. Is there a little talent sleeping inside you? Please excuse my awful English- I am just an old German.😂
Hi! What has been completely ignored in this matter is the mention of the second educational path (school of former education), which is intended after vocational training or as a continuation if you want to further qualify or if you have not found a training place when regular school is over is, or you were simply too lazy as a child, but have more potential. Unfortunately, I couldn't find anything about this on TH-cam. But there is a video from the government that at least explains the vocational training and the school that goes with it. It's in German, but has very good English subtitles... Have fun with it!

Thanks 😊 I’ll definitely take a look
Yes, it is very complicated to explain - on the one hand the "dual training system" and at the same time the "dual study system". Both as a path to a career.
The dual training system requires training in a company plus school and the “dual course” is studying plus practice in a company.
With the dual training system, another route can now be chosen. You qualify to become a master in your profession and gain the right to study "without" a high school diploma or high school - even then accessible to secondary school students or secondary school students.
Of course not all courses - such as medicine or highly complex studies. Most of the time you do a “job-related” degree one way or another. That means you learned something in metal construction, got your master's degree and studied mechanical engineering.
The length of the school day depends on what school you’re in btw.
While elementary school usually runs from roughly 8am to 1pm, once you reach other school forms, that’ll change.
In Fachgymnasien for example, school goes anywhere from 7am till 4pm
(obv not all days are quite that long, but it does happen every now and then).
This is with 2 x 20m breaks and 1 x 10m break scattered over the duration of the day.
Ah ok interesting. Yeah I believe we used to do 8 to 2:30 maybe. There was bells that went off 10 mins before class (I lived within earshot) and we’d all go running to school 😂
Unless you started school particularly early, you're around 16 or 17 when finishing grade 10 in Germany.
Gotcha
We are like this
18 grade 12
17 grade 11
16 grade 10
15 grade 9
14 grade 8
And preschool before grade 1
What "German" system? Schleswig -Schleswig one different to Hamburg to NRW or Bayern.
Grundschule and either Gemeinaftsschaft-
schule, with or not Abitur, or Gymnasium. Gemeinsschafts-
schule : 9 years to Hauptschule, 10 Realschule, all students are in same class.
Gymnasium is better, if the pupils are fit.
The German school system is no more complicated than the British one. Jeez.
Grundschule = Primary school from grades 1 to 4 (age 6 to 10) or 1 to 6 (age 6 to 12).
Secondary I school from grade 5 to 10 or 7 to 10.
There are four variants: The standard school or integrated comprehensive school, in which all children are taught together, regardless of their ability level. There is no elective course system like in the USA; everyone learns the same thing.
Or a diversified school system consisting of a secondary school (less academic, more focused on knowledge useful in life), a secondary school (a balanced relationship between academic and practical skills), and a high school (academic, following the Humboldt educational ideal).
In some federal states, secondary school has been abolished because it is considered “discriminatory”. The children go to secondary school, do not have particularly good grades and yet graduate from secondary school after grade 9. The secondary school ends either with the secondary school leaving certificate (without examination) or with secondary school leaving certificate (with examination).
Secondary II school from grade 11 to 12 or 13.
Here, too, there are two variants: firstly, the 3-year upper level (Oberstufe) of high school (Gymnasium), which leads you to the general university entrance qualification (Abitur), with which you can study ANYTHING.
And then there's the Fachoberschule or Berufsbildende Oberschule etc., which is more career-oriented. Here, for example, students who left Hauptschule after the 9th grade and then did vocational training can complete their high school diploma in two years. You can also study almost everything with it.
Secondary II level also includes all vocational schools that everyone who leaves secondary I level but does not want to complete an apprenticeship or take Abitur must attend. Also the Berufsschulen (vocational schools) are part of it, which everyone who makes an apprenticeship must attend - that is our German dual training system, - vocational training on the job and vocational school.
There are also many opportunities to obtain school qualifications through the second educational path. Anyone studying in Germany will have noticed that we have many students over 30. These are often people who only get their school qualifications as adults.
And of course there are also special schools for children with special needs, even if efforts are made to integrate them into normal schools through inclusion.
The German school system ain't good. Germans knows it, but things takes time in Germany. They don't ride the same day they saddle the horse.
Here in Denmark, we had the same system. It was demolished in 1978, I know, because I was in the last class in the old system. Went out of school in 1978.
Education for children is so important. Tough to get right
