The highest of these is Gymnasium (not what you think of in English) and is for the most part your only way to a University. If I was judged by my grades up till the age of 13 I would be a garbage man and would not be going to college.
This being said, I also went to a private military school. I also graduated high school. And most importantly, I'm in my 11th year of college. Haha I crack me up  |
Actually, I WOULD like the German model here. I think you are one of the few exceptions to the rule. I see absolutely NO reason to try and force scumbum gang bangers and other riff-raff into our schools to "get an education" (they don't) and penalize the honest, hard-working kids who DO want an education. All in the name of "equality" and "giving everyone a fair chance". Horsecrap. The reason our academic levels are some of the lowest
in the world can be directly connected to this misguided idea that as long as you expose scumbags to education some of it will "rub off" on them.
If parents and teachers and "educators" would just realize that not every kid is an Albert Einstein or child prodigy, and that some kids actually
ARE just plain dumb, we would be far ahead of the game.
