"rode my bike around town and into the fields"

To be honest I would be terrified to let my kids do this, maybe because I grew up in a place where drivers are the leading cause of dead kids (the US).

This is very interesting regarding half day schools in Germany. We've considered moving to Germany for a while so our kids could learn German while they're young (also we just quite like the place). A half day school sounds enticing as well.

Do it. I'm an American who studied in Germany in college. My host family kids were so well adjusted and the education they received in public schools was a whole level above anything in any US school.

Oh emigration goes without saying! We moved to Ireland. Should be naturalized in the next year which would make things a lot easier.

Thanks for sharing your experience, it's helpful to hear from someone who did it.

Speed limit in our neighborhood is 30kmh (18 mph). And driving the bike into the fields meant like down the Road onto ways that were only open to farmers‘ cars.
