This was a university prep school because the Germans had a system where at the fifth grade and the ninth grade, people were separated and were sent off to what we would call trade schools. You could learn to be a hotel manager. You could learn to be any number of different trades or whatever skills were needed, from electrician to plumber or something else.

Only about 15% went through this university prep system, which was designed to send you to a university where you would go on to do great things. So I got back there, and we were all male. And the first thing that I saw on the first day, I came in there, and everybody was fairly nice to me. They thought I was strange, and I thought they were strange, but, you know, whatever.

Germans are different, you know? I said, geez, these Germans are very different. And they gave me a seat, told me where to sit, and the instructor walked into the classroom. And the instructor said, Guten Morgen, meine Herrschaften. And everybody stood up at attention. Said, Guten Morgen, Herr Studienrat. And he would say, and we all sat down. Let me tell you what happened after that was serious.

We sat down and we focused nonstop for an hour, hour and 20 minutes on whatever the subject matter was. And the instructor was very well trained, very well educated. And he would turn around and he would say to one of the students at the top of the class in the front row, I sort of sat in the back, And this guy was the individual that recorded whatever was taught in the class that day.

And he would say, what did we discuss the last time? And he would open the book and he said, the last time we discussed the following things. And he said, exactly. This time we are going to do the following. Let me tell you, it was one of the best educations I've ever gotten in my life. But what really struck me was focus.

School was not about anything else other than infusing minds with understanding and knowledge. It was very effective. So when I went back in 2015, I looked around, suddenly there were all these girls. There were no women with us. We were all male. Suddenly we have all these girls in the hallways.

And I peeked in and I saw, and the teacher walked in and said, okay, students, please take your seats and we'll get going. And I was shocked. So I spoke to the man who ran the school. I said, oh, we've adopted the American model. We've done everything that you do in America now. I said, you've lost your mind.

What you had here worked. It was brilliant. And I was so grateful that I was exposed to it. And you've ruined it. Of course, they said, wow, this man's a Neanderthal. He's an idiot. He doesn't understand what he's talking about. Germany has to get back to basics. Go back to being German. Stop apologizing for being German. Do what Germans do best.
