The children in German schools usually get more homework, usually in for the next day. School also generally starts earlier but ends earlier too, around 1-2pm. This gets later in higher years (they don't have specific ending times, some days are longer than others). German children also start school a year later, meaning that being in year 8 here would be called year 7 in Germany. There are also generally more tests and exams in German schools. Most schools also don't have a canteen as children have lunch after school. This is changing slightly though because school is starting to end later.

Finally, instead of having only one secondary school they have three types; 'das Gymnasium', for the higher achieving people, 'die Hauptschule' for the lower half and 'die Gesamtschule' which is mixed.
