    "whether you get a 1, a 2, a 3, or even a 4, most students seem pretty satisfied with their grades".... or as we say in German: "Ein gutes Pferd springt nicht höher, als es muss." 😁

      As an Austrian I can't say I agree. I studied with a lot of Germans in university and they cared a lot more about their grades than the Austrian students. I think the numerus clausus puts pressure on students and since we don't have that it is more relaxed here.

      I like that saying - but I have to say it seems to me (MJ) to be a very German thing even outside of the schools, something I touched upon in a recent video...😶😬

    Es war überaus angenehm, dir zuzuhören.
    Dieses Konzept, dass man sich in den verschiedenen Bereichen ausprobieren kann, um zu sehen, was einem am ehesten liegt, hätte ich in meiner Schulzeit auch sehr gerne gehabt. Dann hätte ich vielleicht nicht so viele Jahre damit verschwendet, etwas zu tun, was ich eigentlich gar nicht machen wollte.

    • @OnwardMJ
      @OnwardMJ  Год назад +1

      Danke. Ja, ich denke, das ist ein großartiges Konzept, das wir haben. Wie können wir wissen, was uns Spaß macht oder was wir gut können, wenn wir nicht genug verschiedene Dinge erlebt haben?

    Well done on your first video! You'll get more variety and choice when you enter A-Levels, 9th grade is very intense. I remember "Nullte Stunde", period before the official first period and started school from 8th grade at 6am and sometimes had to stay until 4pm with double period of Russian towards the end of the day.

    Du wirst eine sehr gute berufliche Zukunft haben, schon wegen der 2 (oder mehr ?) Sprachen, die Du sprichst. Und Du bist zielstrebig, sympathisch und intelligent. Deine Eltern werden stolz auf Dich sein !

    First of all, thank you for the video, was a pleasure to watch.
    If I'm not wrong wie have Gesamtschulen in Germany that offer to take classes in different "difficulty levels".
    I'm full onboard with the ability to personalize your schedule a bit more, yet i would say giving one a broad spectrum on knowledge can help you later in life.
    I know a lot of people who changed their mayor after studying for 2 or more semesters because they found a new field of interest.
    I would maybe give pupils the choice to pick 3 subjects where they will not get any marks but have to attend the classes.
    Wish you and your family all the best.

      Thanks for watching as always. All of the kids speak much better German than me (MJ). I know the older ones still have some challenges in class sometimes, but since they are almost fully integrated into Gymnasium I know they are doing OK. The younger two are fully integrated and interact with everyone outside of our family almost exclusively in German. Maybe I should make a video with the two littles speaking some German for you all?

    Super Video! Du bist ein echter Profi! Das war eine sehr angenehme Abwechslung zu den vielen Schülern, denen ich über die letzten 20 Jahre zugehört habe. Die meisten rasen durch den Text, da sie nervös sind. Außerdem war das Video so toll strukturiert. Klasse! 😊

You said you used to learn German at school. I would love to know more about your experiences of learning German as I am still struggling to learn English 😁 But my kids on the other hand became fluent in no time 😊

      Thanks! In the U.S. learning languages in the school system is not very good, but it provided at least a little bit of exposure. We all wish the U.S. would be better at teaching languages!

    Depends on the US School in East I saw many highschool start at 8am-2-3pm? Really depends on the US. It sound your school started an hour later than my own highschool that was private in the US.

    • @OnwardMJ
      @OnwardMJ  Год назад +1

      Yes, the schools in the US can vary a lot from place to place. Some start as early as 7:30 and some as late as 9:00 or 9:30. It makes a difference where you live and which school you go to in the place that you live...

    How did you reach the Gymnasium in Germany? Per Public Transportation? Or by a Driveby with Dad? ;)

      @OnwardMJ  Год назад

      No "driveby's" for us. (In case someone doesn't know, a drive-by is when people in a car shoot at people or a place without stopping or getting out of the car - not something we would want around our schools, though unfortunately the US has way too many school shootings).
      Public transport is the way to go. One of the things we love about living here.

    • @OnwardMJ
      @OnwardMJ  Год назад +1

      There are too many factors for any one person to say. A lot would depend on where you can live based on visas and that kind of thing. But Canada is one country, and Europe has many, so there are more options to choose from here and probably more ways to find a visa that would meet your needs.
