“Recently...some German girls who were in Wisconsin in an exchange program. A shared comments was how easy school was compared to Germany.”
I found that to be true also (I was from Scotland). However, even though school was much easier, in 1950’s High Schools there was vocational training...I got a 2 yr. college course my last two year’s of H.S. taught in the H.S. and got a professional businesswoman’s certificate (same as the 2 yr college students were tested for to receive the same certificate) right out of high school. I so wish High Schools would offer vocational training...let people who have little hope of attending college graduate with some marketable skills.

The lack of VoTech is a crime - they funnel everyone into college whether they should be there or not, and keep the tuition hike/student loan scam going full speed.
