As an American living in Germany, i can assure you that education is not priority number one for Germans. The local public elementary school has 32 kids per classroom. The lack of funding cannot be explained by low taxes.

If i had a Euro for every utterance of shock and surprise from another expat that the average American suburban school is much better than the local offering of private or public schools, i would be rich.

Things may have been different 50 years ago.
