But people do want more of the same . It ' s why sequels exist . Critics love to complain about games not innovating but for companies it ' s the safest bet . If a gamer plays a game and likes it , they will most likely love to play a similar game within the next couple of years . <| sep |> I went to a Realschule and that was easy . Well no shit , try going to a Gymnasium . Significantly harder and the only school that allows you to directly transfer to university . I learned that you sequester a large percentage of your students in lower tiers of secondary education like Hauptschule . Yeah , our system is set up differently . We basically have three levels of secondary schools Hauptschule , Realschule , Gymnasium instead of offering different levels of courses regular , honors , AP in the same school . most of your students leave school at age 16 after basically being told they ' re too stupid for higher education . That ' s not true . Only Hauptschule ends at 16 and is followed up with a Berufsausbildung , since you have 12 years of mandatory schooling in Germany . People are not given the freedom to pursue the education they want in Germany that Americans are given in the US . Of course they are . I would argue the freedom is even greater , since if you are smart enough , you can attend university without having to worry about costs . It ' s not like you ' re forced into a lower tier school and then have to stay there even if you are smart enough for a higher tier school . You can change schools . The US has almost twice the rate of universitylevel education attainment that Germany has . You can ' t compare that rate directly . Many jobs that require a university education in the US nurse would be an example do not in Germany since they are handled with incompany apprenticeships and specialized vocational schools .
