Alex and Jim talk about the differences in the education/school-system of Germany and the USA. Alex (from Germany) and Jim (from the USA) talk about cultural differences and similarities between Germany and the USA.
I really like your clips buuutttt… the elementary school in some bundesländer (states) is 6 years … also the kindergarten is 3 years in nearly every state.
I think it depends on the size of the town you live in.
Although 1-6 elementary
7-9 junior high 10-12 high school is common. Some areas are 1-5th elementary, 6th-8th junior high and 9-12th high school.
I’ve also heard of places where 9th grade is separate by itself before entering high school.
In Quebec, Canada, we have it a bit differently. We don’t really have preschool, but its available if you want it. Age 5 is kindergarten. Grades 1-6 is Elementary, and 7-11 is Highschool. Then you go to a CEGEP. You can have a 3-year course and go out and get a job in different things like some aspects of law and nursing. You can also get a 2-year course as university preperation. Then university is one year shorter I believe than in the rest of Canada/ The United States.

Where I live, Kindergarden is one year, Elementery is 1st-5th, Middle is 6th-8th, and high school is 9th-12th. I graduated last year and am going to a Community College right now. Deutschland haben community college?
It also depends when you went to middle school/junior high. Educational theory changed (maybe late 80’s early 90’s?) from having junior high (7-8) to having middle school (6-8).
Well,, in most cities,, Elementary is from Kindergarden-5th Middle school is 6th - 8th, and High school is 9th-12. In some smaller school districts,,, Elementary is from Kindergarden-5th or 6th grade,, and high school is from 6th or 7th - 12th grade. It depends on the population of your city or town. Trust me,, i’ve lived in NY City and small towns too. I know first hand. Private schools run about the same system.
