Sixth grade curriculum in a German public school

My brother and his wife are friends with an American couple currently living in Germany. Their kid goes to public school there.
That's for sixth graders, mind you. Two hard sciences, two languages, one social science, one math, and three arts/humanities.

1/2 year of Physics, 1//2 year of Computer Science. Full year of Geography, Biology, Math, Deutsch, Music, Religion, Art, and English

Kind of surprised they are teaching religion in a public school in Germany.

Yet to get into a graduate program,the GRE here in 'Murica only tests basic high school math concepts. I'm taking it next week and this blows my mind.

America's education system is moronic. Most other countries accept and promote the idea that some will rise while others do not.
We attempt to lift the shitty students while bringing down the great ones.

That's because they use tracks
They weed out the dumb kids early and start teaching them technical skills and jobs that don't require college degrees

How long do they go to school each day or are they taught in blocks because thats nine classes.

It's all about expectations. Parents would be in an uproar if their child had to start doing physics in 6th grade.. Plus, our education system is completely fricked.

My kid has the same in 6th grade except for physics.

Some Indian guy (like he is actually from India and went to HS there) in my 4000 level math class learned the formal Leibniz rule in HIGH SCHOOL calculus. I'm not talking the basic one everyone learns in freshman college calc. I mean the expanded form.
No one else in class had ever seen this. #merica

Looks like the curriculum at the private Catholic elementary school I went to. No big deal.

Looks exactly like my catholic school 6th grade.

I'm sure somehow that curriculum would be called racist here in America.

Still being overwhelmed by muslim terrorists, so no thanks.
As far as their education standards, we are sorely behind. I think we offer Ebonics for 6th graders now?
