Today was my first day in my German school, the Goethe Middle/High school. After a tiring 5 mile bike ride to school, we went inside and started. Like our middle school in Durango, they have 45 minute periods. Unlike the Durango schools, students stay in one classroom the entire day and the teachers walk from class to class. This puzzled me because the teachers seem less powerful if they save the students from walking from class to class.
In German class, the teacher was discussing a movie they had seen before spring break. "Red on white," he said. "Very powerful colors. Can anyone tell me what importance red on white has?" A student answered, "The advertisements on the TV." A second said "When a character was shot in the chest while wearing a white T-shirt." And a third said "Bayern Munich" and the entire class burst out laughing.
Otherwise, my day was pretty dull except in English, where I had to explain what "Starstruck" meant.
