Ten years into the 21st century, most schools in Germany still end at lunchtime,
a tradition that dates back nearly 250 years. That has powerfully sustained the
housewife/mother image of German lore and was long credited with producing
well-bred, well-read burghers.
It's amazing on how much we don't know. I had no idea Germany had a half day school system. I would love to hear what all interested parties think about this traditional system comapared to a full school day? It must be positive socially and economically since Germany has the highest GDP in Europe
Belongs to woman and what about the children? They should analyze how this all day system impacts youth and society before they throw away this more humane system
