    Grade 11a, Mr. Neckin


    Last week’s intro questions:

    Briefly discuss whether it was fair that some


    classes had the privilege to be present at school
    and other classes hadn’t during the Covid
    lockdown?

    Or another example: Think of students of the


    Gymnasiums. They have full history lessons
    – no world studies from grade 6-10.

    Pay attention to possible gaps in education that could occur.

    Can we talk about a two-class educational system in Germany?

    subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United
    States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall
    make or enforce any law which shall abridge1 the privileges or
    immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State
    deprive2 any person of life, liberty, or property, without due
    process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the
    equal protection of the laws.”
