<B>Fact</B></h2> <p>The German school system does not parallel the American system. In fact, there are often significant differences from state to state within Germany. However, in general German children can find themselves in a nursery school, <B>kindergarten</B>, a form of elementary school, a form of middle school, and a form of high school. Be careful with the vocabulary. The German word <B>Hochschule</B> (HOECH shoo leh) looks like it relates to “high school,” but it refers to college or university level education.</p> </div>  <div id="pagination"><ul><li
