Erster Schultag (First Day of School)

My first day of school was pretty cool. Seeing how school here in Germnay is like is a cool experience. There's a lot of differences between SHS and Gustav-Heinemann Oberschule. The first thing that got to me was seeing all the bikes. In Springdale, you see cars parked out. But not here, all you see is bikes. In Springdale, you see cars parked out. But not here, all you see is bikes. Lots and lots of bikes. Also, you'd think grade level would be separated into their own schools. But no. 5th-12th graders attend Gustav-Heinemann Oberschule. Like, whoaahh. You'd also think this would be over crowded with so many student because there's so many grade levels in one school. But  no. This school only has about 1,400 students. In Springdale, SHS and HarBer both has about 2,200 students. That's like 4,400 all in all and it's only 10th-12th graders. Also, there's barely any technologies in this school. All they have is a chalk board and desks. Not even a dry-erase board. School here just opens my eyes and makes me feel thankful for what Springdale Public School Districts has. Sports in German schools isn't really popular. The only type of sport they'll get close to is P.E. SPeaking of P.E. I had P.E. with Clara ony first day and it's way different than the way America does their P.E. They don't even call it P.E. They call it Sport. Their P.E. gym is not even apart of the school. It's off campus. They just leave campus and walk to the gym that's a couple blocks away. Also, there are no air-conditioning in any classrooms. I really don't know how they survive in their classrooms. Plus, it's strict. No phones, food, or drinks allowed. Wow. I enoyred my first day of school because I also got to answer little 5th graders. When I told them I also spoke Marshallese, their faces got so confused. It was pretty funny and a good experience.
