If you're in a school in the states you have to know English, if you're in Spain you have to know Spanish and if you're in Germany you have to know German. That shouldn't that hard to understand ;)
This is an absolut Standard Public school
Wow!! Must have great funding!!
@@FavourInternational funding by taxes, as it should be.
It is a public school, but a rather nice one to be honest. I just think that there are very different priorities in Germany and the USA
In Germany we usually don't have dress codes. You can wear what you want. All kinds of T-shirts even with cannabis print on them 😄. And a shoulder is just a shoulder... people in Germany don't oversexualize bodies. I found those dress code rules quite strange when I spent a year at an American highschool.
No shoulders in schools, but weapons everywhere. 🤦🏻♂️
@@strasbourgerelsass1467 for the freedom
"people in Germany don't oversexualize bodies."
Especially not children, unless you are a Green Party, or SPD voter.
Nah thats not totally true. In many German Schools short Hot Pants are prohibited to wear. Maybe in some Parts of Germany like Berlin it will be allowed but not everywhere not even in all bigger cities.
@@dineblyton9129 never heard about any clothes being prohibited. I grew up in Erfrut and Weimar in Thüringen. Definitly not any major city lol
The goal for exchange students is to learn German.
... and most are fluent after one year (at least the few hundred I knew). They start out with an introduction to German culture and language and learn the rest by themselves (and staying in German families)
And there do exist international schools where things are in English.
It's not fun to sing at that age as a male infront of the class - your voice is changing and you can't do nothing about it. I sounded like an Angel when I was young, than I became a teen. ~_~
This definitely isn't a private school, I luckily never had classes where I had to sing in front of the class though haha. The curriculum is really dependent on what state you are in so schools can differ a lot within germany.
And if you are an exchange student in Germany you have to study German, I think its mandatory. We do have English classes where they dont speak German at all. My school used to have an American exchange student and he was mostly In our English classes. You should be able to get by in only English just fine but German is still the language spoken in germany. Especially older people are usually not that great in English.
Its not practice for olympics. It is just regular sport schedule. Kids should be fit and their PE grade is actually based on their performing results. I remember my 7-10th school years on my school ... which organized a yearly tournament for all students and the result of your performance would heavily influence your final grade. Depending on your PE teacher you might also end up in some kind of long run trials. We once trained for a trial in he woods where we had to navigate by map and solve riddles against the time. The trial had a lenght of 5km at best. So when you navigate false you would end up with a much longer run ... And to be honest, two decades ago PE was way more intense.
Twas a joke
@@FavourInternational No we did the same
Also PE all the way through schooling is about doing fun things, like various sports and learning how to do the sports.
There are no high school teams or college teams
@@FavourInternational same here in sweden, freq runs orientaion and stuff, looks like standard PE ... sometime u also go to other facilities, swimming pool, badminton hall and such...most schools has ther own training course... some city schools can share facilities, we also had a complety gym and a boxing ring... (the boxing ring was later removed, it was deemed to violent)
q:us schools dont have pasta & sallad?...thats wierd...
I’ve loved growing this channel for the past year and building a community with you guys!! 🥂
There are also english or International schools in germany. But normaly in german schools you have to speak german.
And most of german schools were built in the early 50s and 60s, with a schoolday from 7.45 to 13.00 o clock (1.00 p.m.) in mind.
So the most schools were not build with a Lunch at school in mind.
So they have to go to a different building.
German Kids normaly walk to school or take the bike.
And here are no dress Codes. Execpt for safty reasons like in chemistry class.
But otherwise you could come in a bikini and I as a teacher could't care less.
Its up to you to decide.
No Yellow School Buses in Germany. If your lucky one of your parents will take you to school on their way to work. Most Children 'll go by public transportation, bike or just walk though
Don’t worry, if you were going to school in Germany you would pick up the language after a short time! We had several exchange students in my class, from USA, Germany, South America etc. By the end of the school year they were all fluent in German and did our tests
Exchange students from Germany fluent in German by the end of the school year?
If you were a Foreign Exchange student you would be expected to speak the local language. Do French and German and Danish etc FE students in the USA expect the classes in US schools to be in French, German etc? No, of course not. They would be in English. So if they can't speak English they would have major problems in the USA. So in German schools you would be expected to speak German.
In most schools here in Germany we don´t have uniforms, especially in public schools, the parents can´t afford it. School for everyone is from 1st to 5th grade, then you can decide which way you go. Gymnasium, if you want to study later at the University, Realschule if you are undecided and Haupschule when you are more of a handyman or a salesperson. Craftspeople is a highly respected job and has their own schools and practice were you are trained for your craft and can take it even higher level by doing tests and if you are good enough you get a certificate as a master-crafter or a master baker and so on. Everyone wants to have a good fresh bread or delicious buns so good baakers are in demand.
Have a pleasant year. Elmar from Germany.
The only rules is the general decency laws for nudity 😂
It's funny that you say parents cannot afford uniforms, since one of the main benefits of uniforms is that poor kids and rich kids wear the same clothes. Otherwise one comes in Gucci and the other in Primark stuff ;)
This is a music class, they have to sing, and show their skills, they are graded on it, but music is not as important as other courses so it's more chill. It's the same for us in France
14:22
Not sure about Germany, but here in Norway people usually walk home or use regular public transportation from the age of 6 or so unless you live so far away from the closest school that you *need* transportation and no normal public transportation exists, then a extra route might be subsidized that's also used by non-students but that stops near people's homes etc.
Same in Germany
We have basically 3 types of middle schools. Gymnasium is for higher education towards collage. In the middle ground we have Gesamtschule or Realschule with a little less workload and at the bottom Hauptschule or Sekundarschule with less academical contents that focus on vocational traits and prepare for vocational training after class 9 or 10. Every state has its own regulations for schools and differ in subjects, workload and quality standards. Even subjects like P.E., Arts, Music, home economics, handycraft or religion are graded stricty. They all are relevant. Marks are 1 (best) to 6 (worst). You pass with 4 or better (C and D equivalent: sufficient), satisfactory equals B, good A- and very good A. You failed with two times 5 or one 6 even in minor subjects while having top marks in major courses. Most schools teach in solid classes instead of courses that show who you learn with. In general you study over years with the same people. And you don't switch class rooms - the teachers do - exept for subjects with special environments needed like music or chemistry.
it's practice for public speaking and showing a little proficiency in another language. getting out of your comfort zone. i feel like you should have taken the language of your study abroad country. they said the 11 year olds were in 5th grade.
No sports scouts are watching you at High School level in PE classes. This is just for exercise and fun. Remember, NO UNIVERSITIES provide Sports Scholorships to University. That is A USA thing. University is for academic learning, not playing games. Scholorships are only for academic (STEM) subjects with sometimes Law subjects included.
Happy new year Favour! If you need more infomation about German school system and how it work,I can recommemd "Feli from Germany".She´s talking about in one of her lated videos. We got three diffrent schools and all of them are public. The schoolsystem is seperate from the federal goverment and belongs to the states.
10:10 there are different kinds of high schools in germany, the main ones are „hauptschule“, „realschule“ and „gymnasium“ (which was mentioned in the video). they make you take a test when you‘re still in 4th grade (so in elementary school) to decide on which kind of school you‘ll go to. it also decides about when you‘ll graduate and how you‘ll graduate! if you‘re sent to a realschule or hauptschule, you‘ll usually graduate after 9th or 10th grade. they don‘t really „prepare“ you for college or university and with the type of graduation you get on a realschule or hauptschule it‘s much harder to get into colleges and universities. if you go to a gymnasium, the classes are much more advanced and they prepare you for college/university and your so-called „abitur“ which is the highest type of graduation you can get on a high school AND which is (usually) needed to get into most colleges or universities. on a gymnasium you usually stay there from 5th to 12th or 13th grade, depending on your birth year. after that you usually apply for college or university, as it is much easier to get into colleges or universities with an abitur. so yeah, 5th graders or 11 year-olds are also in high school! i hope this explained it a little further.. feel free to ask questions if you like!
Exactly down here in Tx we had dodgeball, run track or basketball’s in P.E.
in England we have infant school (age 5-7) junior school (age 7-11) these are mostly combined into the same school. then we have High school (age 11-16) followed by sixth form (age 17,18).
This is termed "primary" the "secondary, then "further" education. University is termed "tertiary" education. and in England we all have school uniforms.
Numero Uno! Love your videos.
Germany has a different system than you have. You have Kindergarten (nothing like yours over there), than you go to primary school (1-4) and then choose your Education tree. Gymnasium (for university trade, here you get the Education to go tu university if you like), Realschule or Hauptschule/Gesamtschule. And then you'll go there up to 13th Grade (Gymnasium), others only untill 10th grade. It's very hard to explain our system properly. You might dive into it. There's a great video from the Deutsche Welle The German School System | Meet The Germans Explaining it
Ach ,ich sehe gerade du hattest es ja schon erklärt...😊
And just like every school system, it has its pros and cons.
in England every school and univeristy has wednesday afternoon as sports. winter it is either rugby,soccer,hockey(field), cross counrty. summer is cricket, track and field, athletics.
Surely the point of foreign exchange is to learn a language?!
for gym at my school in the us we had multiple different units but people could opt out of whatever sport we were doing in class that week to walk the track or use the exercise room equipment instead for credit. we had hockey, volleyball, tennis, badminton, soccer, flag football units, etc.
Woah. I live in Norway and I have to say that this was "old" school. Must be in Southern Germany somewhere. Here the schools are on a completely different level - You only see PCs and digital walls. We just have to believe that the teachers are better than the surrounding environment
So, you expect a German teacher in Germany in a German school full of Germans to speak all languages on earth just to accommodate a chance exchange student from somewhere else? Why would you not just learn a bit German?
School in Germany is not as easy as it always seems and every school is different because we have a really strict dress code and no canteen if we want to drink during the breaks, so it always sounds great, but many people have a lot of stress because a lot is expected from us and have to learn many languages
When I was at school in the early 1970's (Germany), when the PE teacher was not in the mood to teach, which happened quite often,, he told us to go outside and play soccer.
re cold weather and PE - in my school (Poalnd) we had rule that we can be outside up to -5'C
lol i'm in jersey. we have pe outside too. might be a southern thing to have pe indoors since it gets so hot. we have ultimate frisbee, walking, softball, and football. indoors we have weight lifting, volleyball, yoga, and a few others i don't recall.
It sounds very similar to the pe we have in France
We did long jump, swimming various ball sports and even judo as early as *grade* school.
If you are interested in the most accurate explanation of the issues, you should watch the informational videos from DW channel, or to feli grom germany. There many questions are clarified, wish you a happy new year
Regarding the Exchange stuff, you might want to check out the videos the CBYX students do. There's an exchange programme between the US and the US since the 80s.
Not necessarily something to react to, but to get an impression.
It’s quite similar to British school
We had (UK grammar school) hockey, football, volleyball, athletics (including the pit and the track to run on like they have in the German school you're reacting to) along with the actual 400 metre track, rugby, basketball (netball for girls, don't know if they also had basketball), cricket with and without the nets, tennis, the occasional dodgeball and I think that was it. Badminton was available as a club. I think it may have been an official PE lesson
PE is not for the Olympics, but for the "Bundesjugendspiele".
The teacher said to the guy singing lemon tree (an old english song from a german band)): "Good job! Actually, your singing was not that bad. There were some parts were you went down, but all in all, not bad. It is still 1 minus" (1 to 6 with 1 beeing the best, 1 minus the second best).
He got grades for the practical part of the grades, there are also theoretical tests with grades, and all together gives you the final grade. Music is not so important, so nobody takes it so serious.
In most schools in Germany there is something like compulsory sport. Sport belongs in the timetable at German schools. In addition, national youth games sometimes take place. Here, students can measure each other's athletic performance. Which is rewarded with a certificate. There was never a dress code in Germany.
There are no school bus. At best there are general buses who have a special stop during rush hour, and a higher frequency
The foreign classmates didnt get graded first or their test were in english. But of course you have to learn german. And the foreign classmates i had learned the language quite fast, maybe 3 or 4 months
There are 16 federal states in Germany, in 13 of which you go to 3 different types of school from the 5th grade onwards. Secondary school, middle school or high school.
So, that's a normal public school. There are (most of the time) no school busses, kids ride the public transport or the bike or get dropped by parents or walk. There are no dress codes because we don't sexualize children.

#NiceVideo Love From Germany ❤️
Hey Favor!!! Make sure to react to the king’s 2022 Christmas speech! ❤️😊
This topic is completely nonsense here... as the UK King is too.
Btw. many german schools got specializations, like a focus on languages or maths and science or music etc...
6:35 It looks like a public school - but not all public school look like this. Since most public schools are founded by the municipality (regarding the building) and the government (which pays the teachers and some of the teaching material), there are many desolate school buildings in not-so-wealthy municipalities or city districts.
As a non-German speaker you would get some exemptions. In a public school which has multiple non-German speakers (which would be currently rather normal because of many refugees from Ukraine) you would get a special class in German for non-native speakers, but you would also to have attend classes e.g. in math and natural sciences held (mostly) in German.
9:05 "High school" is a bit misleading. The German school systems divides in most states after the fourth grade in mostly three tracks - one (called Gymnasium in Germany) leading to "Abitur" (comparable to A-Level exams or Matura, which allows direct access to study at a university) after 12th or 13th grade, another ("Realschule") to "Mittlere Reife" (intermediate school leaving certificate, roughly comparable with the American high school diploma or the British GCSE) after 10th grade, and the third (called either "Hauptschule" or "Mittelschule" depending on the state) leading to "Hauptschulabschluss" after 9th grade (which gives access to apprenticeships in some trades or to vocational schools leading to "Mittlere Reife" and apprenticeships in other trades). Pupils can change their track, but in most cases that would be only done after the 9th grade. The building of this school looks as it could be an old Gymnasium from before WW I.
11:35 In older school buildings like this the cafeteria is mostly a newer addendum, repurposing some other building (like an old sports hall, which is been replaced by a modern one) or a new annex. In former times school was on most days only a.m., and if there were p.m. classes, the lunch break was long enough for most pupils to eat at home (or get something in the town). In some cases also bakers did sell breadrolls and brezels during the breaks at the school.
14:30 Traditionally most pupils either walk or ride a bike to school, only those who live more than 2 to 3 km away take regularly the bus. But nowadays we have also "helicopter parents" which drive their kids to school with their SUVs - to the big dismay of teachers and municipalities, because they often endanger other children on their way to school and also block the access for school buses, so it is disencouraged.
There are almost only public schools in Germany. Private schools are not that common. This school in the video is surely a public school.
It's an absolut normal publik school. The PE is also absolutly normal, we are always outside for sports, when weather is okay.
You have to go to school till you're 18 years old.
How about learning German?
In nearly every school, doesn't matter what type, you will find one or more real Pianos... ;)
that's definetly a public school
If the school is not too far away, pupils will walk or take the bike. My school was 3 km from my home and I used to go by bike.
PE or Sport how it is called in Germany is full of Sports to learn Handball Basketball volleyball Tennis badminton Soccer Swimming Hockey Gymnastics with and without boxes, Dodgeball, Danceclass and many more
nah dress code aint really a thing. you can basically wear what you want. In my experience that never really causes issues
Hockey is what I suspect you know as Field Hockey.
us schools have the worst school lunches among first world countries. you should totally look up videos of what other countries serve for school lunches, especially asia.
The US is way more conservative than Germany when it comes to dressing in school
In Germany You also can study in English or some other Languages.
You learn the language !!!!!!!! that's how !
this is a Gymnasium you go there from 11 or 12 until your 18
PE stands for Physical education, so why shouldn't they exercise their bodies (and keep the fat away?)? And when I did my Senior year in Minnesota, we were measured as well, so why are you surprised?
In most german schools your not allowed to drink anything but water in the subjects
This is Gymnasium only poeple with the highest IQ Go there,because of This the school is a littlebit More Special 😊👍
"Hockey" is NOT played on ice ... it is played either outside or inside ... with a ball and the curved sticks.
Hockey is NOT ice hockey!
That looks like a public school
This looks quite old, kind of similar to when I went to school in the 70ies/80ies. And to be fair, not that different from my High School year in the USA
ah I (not so fondly) remember all the time we had to jog in full summer heat.
Re Hockey. It was Field Hockey, not Ice Hockey. Only a few countries (Nordic ones mainly plus US and Canada) actually play Ice Hockey. Field Hockey is about 20 times the volume of Ice Hockey
I did normal hockey at school. I hated it, haha. Cricket was slightly more fun but tennis was my favourite :-)
5:40 PUBLIC!!!!
In Germany from K-12
i worked in us schools and our kids like defacing school property and there's not much penalty for it.
Our school isnt so big and it is just one building
8:48
Foreign exchange students to the US have to learn English, you know...
This is 100% private school!!!!!!!!!!!!! I live in Germany i know the system!
ahah, you would have to learn german :)
7:22 absolute legend for singing Lasse reden by Die Ärzte
The fact that stuff like food, dress code, and that school in general, is weird to you is sad.
Most countries in europe dont have dress codes, we let students express themselfs, and go to school wearing whatever they want..
And the food, we dont want to feed our kids shitty food, so we cook good food.. (common sense imo)
No offense, but the USA is very over the top when it comes to school.. and they dont even do a good job at it.
Most Germans speak perfect english you dont have to worry
There is not really a dresscode except for some schools firbid too sexy outfits. But honestly this is a bad thing in Germany. Mobbing based on clothes is a very big issue in Germany, i was born poor, it was hell. I always wished we had a school uniform.
i can answer all your "why" questions with "Because we ain't the USA" ;)
Is not High School. Its elementary school.
Ur grades for pe does actually belong to the meters ur jump 😂
I always thought, it is odd that US students have to sit on their on all the time. Its good to have a partner
Well you need to be given a grade... :)
We make sports better outside is good and hilthi ! This is school sport not for olypic😂😂
no !!! you learn German ...in Germany !
Guess you didn't have 14 years olds with tattoos on necks either 🤣
Marihuana is Illegal in Germany you lost driverlicense Job and Kids
Definitley Private School =)
No, it looks like any normal public school. Besides, we have only very few private schools in Germany
Nope, that's definitely a state public school. Mine was similar. :-)
That's a public school.
German so do some better ^^
