I think there is a big difference. In America the students have to go to the teachers’ room that’s the first big difference to Germany, where the teachers have to go to the students’ room. I guess out of this reason the American students behave unlike the German ones. That means when you are in the States in a school you feel during the period like a `visitor´ in class and behave like this. Here in Germany the most students think they can behave like they want to, because they are in their own room. And this is also a reason why the American students seem to be more disciplined during period.
In most of the American schools every student has a locker, where he can put his thing for the school day, so he doesn’t has to run around with his bag pack, like we have to do in Germany. I like this idea, because it is surely healthier for your spine.
In the States you hate to go into primary school at least until 4th grade and at most until 8th grade and then you can go to high school until 12th grade. After this you are 17 or 18 years old and in Germany you are about 19 or 20 years old, if you do the Abitur. Here you have to go till the 4th grade to ‘Grundschule’, after this you can go to three different types of schools; the best is ‘Gymnasium.
If I had to decide where I have to go to school, I think I would prefer the States, because I like the idea of the American school system.

I like yóur essay, Max.
I think you are right in saying the students behave better when they're just a visitor in school.
We can comprehend your essay very well, because we could visit this school system in October!
and i support your conclusion!
Hi Max, in general it´s a good essay and it deals with different points of views. You also could write about homeschooling, it´s another interesting topic (for Germany, too). Write about the conditions in the States and in Germany!
