[QUOTE="klein, post: 894045, member: 23950"] I don't know how schools are there in the US. But, even track & field was great. Those touraments we had against other schools, and I always got a few ribbons. We played many soccer games, too, a lot of them off school hrs... playing against other classes. I only recall 1, maybe 2 overweight students in my class and surrounding B & C classes. We didn't have video games, computers and texting back in those days. We couldn't even use the home phone to call up our friends, since back in Germany those local calls were 50 pfennigs each... so we just always walked to meet our friends. Oh yeah, I have[B] never [/B]been driven to school either ! And driving age in Germany is 18, so you'll basically never see students driving up with cars to high school, either. Besides, it requires mandatory professional driving school hrs, (back then 25 hrs), plus mandatory autobahn hrs, night time hrs, and freeway hrs. Plus a 2 day CPR course , also mandatory. Costed me apprx $2000 back then in 1981, and that was done with minimum hrs and passing both tests (written and road) at first try. I will never regret those great years I had in school. [/QUOTE]
