No, that isn't our equivalent of high school. He was at a Gymnasium. Which is more like a prep school. Their equivalent of our high schools is their Realschule. And, even then, they have to go through an apprenticeship. We don't have an equivalent of their Hauptschule.

I don't know the details. I just remember what he told me.

"was from Germany and they had had more calculus in their equivalent of high school than the 9 or so hours I had in college. "
