🇩🇪 What German School is Like for Our American Kids 🇺🇸 | Are They Surviving?

You asked, and we're answering - finally! I know so many of you have wanted to know how our four American kids are doing in German public schools. Our kids have hardly spent any time at all in school in person because of COVID, but they are doing school online, so it's been a challenge for sure! We share all about how we're managing all of it. You'll hear how German education is actually quite a bit different from American education. You'll hear what keeps us up at night with worry and what's going well.
