> For late-bloomers, which might suffer under this system, it is still possible to progress from Hauptschule to Realschule and finally Gymnasium and university Do you know how many people in Hauptschule make it to university? > Also, the average attendance for Hauptschule is <10% [1]. I must acknowledge I thought it was 25%, it must've changed in recent years. > Wouldn’t you agree that at least 10% ... Thank you for the question. I buy the thesis of the Case against education by which university is a waste of time for most people, nevertheless it's hard for me to stigmatize a percentage of the population by not allowing them to waste their time there as well with their former ten year old smarter classmates.
