ohh in germany the school system is very complicated ... ^^

well iīm in 10th grade and iīm graduating :D

after that you can either start an apprenticeship (donīt know if anyone knows what that is ? something like a job but you have to go to school to but you get paid :) )

or you can go to another school for 2 years and than go to the uni

or after the apprenticeship you can go to a school for 2 years and then to the uni

[Calypso]

thats really compicated:D

[marelein]

you think thats complicated ^^

we also have three different schools

i can really translate the school because there is no word for them in english

we have the Hauptschule (schule = school)
-> this school goes to the 9th grade, school for kid that donīt make it in the other schools, this school is complicated is you want to go to the uni you have to go to a lot different schools after this one ...

we have the Realschule (thats what iīm going right now)
-> goes to the 10th grade, school for the "normal" kids

and then we have the Gymnasium
-> goes to the 12te grade, this is something like america and after your finished you can go strait to the uni, people say itīs for the smart kid

and how we decide who goes to which school you have to do a test in the 4th grade to see how smart you are ...

well i think this is very complicated
