The curricula in Germany is pretty well set. Home-schooling COULD alter that and I think that is to be discouraged.
I read this once: the difference between the Germans and French:
****The Germans are allowed to THINK differently buy they are encouraged to ACT in unison. The Germans learn by deductive reasoning, top-down logic, AND rote.
****The French are NOT allowed to THINK differently but they are encouraged to ACT differently. The French learn by rote. Period. They aren't taught deductive (or inductive) reasoning.
Really interesting, thanks!
