Comparing U.S. and German Education: Like Apples and Sauerkraut.
Noack, Ernest G.
Phi Delta Kappan, v80 n10 p773-76 Jun 1999

German schools also differ structurally and in the ways they group students and treat student and teacher responsibilities. Community and business responsibilities are greater. (MLH)
