Many parents in Germany avoid compulsory schooling – and thus risk imprisonment

Spotted an Error?

Attending school is part of childhood for the vast majority of children in Germany. After all, it is a duty – the decision on whether one’s own child should go to school or not is made by the legislature.

Nevertheless, there are around 1000 children in Germany who do not go to school, as the “Welt” reports. Instead, they put math, German or English at the dining room tables at home – teachers are mostly their own parents. This is not allowed, the legal guardians even risk long prison terms if they violate the obligation to ensure their children attend school regularly.

Many gods – belief in antiquity

In ancient Greece, people believed in many different gods. They were immortal but looked like humans. Everyone had their sphere of influence. We explain more about the exciting Greek mythology.

How did the world come about??

There are many myths about the origin of the world – and also about the gods in particular. The most famous myth about the origin of the world is the so-called "Theogony" by Hesiod, a Greek poet:

In the beginning there was chaos. From this chaos emerged Gaia (mother earth), Tartaros (the underworld), Eros (god of love), Nyx (the night) and Erebos (the dark). Gaia had several children without a husband, including Uranos (the sky) and Pontos (the sea). Nyx in turn gave birth to Erebos two children: day and brightness. Gaia had many children with her son Uranos, the titans.

From how many years can you do a vacation job?

We explain to you how from when you can top up your pocket money.

Sina had the following question: "I would like to do a vacation job during the holidays, but I am only twelve years old and would therefore like to know whether I can do a vacation job and where or what."

What is allowed?

When you can start earning some pocket money, the Youth Work Protection Act (JuArbSchG) regulates and that says that in principle no one is allowed to work who is younger than 13 years.

  • From13 years light work is allowed, e.g. Deliver newspapers, give tutoring classes or take dogs for a walk. These paid activities may only be carried out between 8 a.m. and 6 p.m. and only with the consent of a legal guardian. In addition, working hours must not exceed two hours a day (three hours in family farms).
  • youth from 15 years Can work up to four weeks full-time (approx. 35 to 40 hours a week) on vacation. You can also work in a trade (at the bakery, florist or similar).
  • First from 18 years chord and night work and work in a disco, amusement parks or at the fair are allowed.

In principle, all jobs for children and young people must be easy and must not endanger their safety, development and health. As long as the child is still required to attend school, they are allowed to attend school and "their ability to follow lessons with benefit" do not affect negatively.
