It was in the 50th, Bonn (Germany) where I lived was to 80 % in ruins. Our school was a quickly built up prefab, too hot in summer too cold in winter and we were 80 in one classroom ! <br />High school of course was also strictly girls and boys separated, but it was also in an awful building. There was no sport, because there was no space, People had other preoccupations then their children. It really became better when I moved to Brussels and there I had a very nice high school time and we were mixed. There were only 200 students in the German school girls and boys together. I didn't speak any french at that time.Gattinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06636525277807715146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6520893128143413982.post-53088160875518614462010-09-08T06:33:11.608-07:002010-09-08T06:33:11.608-07:00Ah, the good old days.
