This meme couldn't have been made by a German. Nobody in their right mind would say something so outlandish as Germany having a great education system. I literally got taught with a smashed blackboard, next to a cabinet that collapsed during class and with "books" that began identifying as a stack of papers (still had to wrap them though for protection! …somehow!).
On the upside, my school didn't have mold… that we knew off. And we constantly had classes canceled since there weren't enough teachers once a single one was missing.
And you still learned more than most Americans. Except maybe Cheerleading, American Football, how to behave during a school shooting, and bullying (or how survive it).
I learned English because in 2006-2010 most video games were poorly localized and when youtube became a thing most of the popular German gaming youtubers were absolute cringe so i watched English channels instead.
Compared to my German friends my English is above average despite my English teacher in highschool being sick most of the time and the classes not being substituted with English classes. This solely lies in my interest/necessity to engage with English content online. We had French as a second language and despite the teachers actually being there and being good teachers for this educational system, i remember almost nothing.
I started with French as a second language as well (Saarland reportiert ein). My French is terrible, I never really tried. English on the other hand was useful for playing vidya.
