No more marks ! Woohooo! ^^ Well, every german state has its own shool poltitics, in my state, the parents decide. The shool still give tips, but as the parents have the last word I had no idea Germany had states. I assume they're less independant than the US. More like counties in the US...

 They are partly independet. But most of our states follow the normal german rules. They're called “Bundesländer“, they have all a own gouverment and ministers. Most states existed 150 years ago as seperate german kingdoms That seems somewhere in between US counties and states...
