Although Puerto Rico and Germany are so different , when we are talking about school we have so many similarity’s with a few difference . The first difference is how many years are required to attend to school . In Puerto Rico are required to attend to school 12 year and in Germany is 13 years . This years are dived in 3 sections in both countries . Another difference is than in PR are 6 years of elementary school 3 years of middle school and 3 years of high  school but in Germany is 6 of elemen tary school 4 years of middle school and 3 years of high school . Than will be the only differences between Germany and Pr . However we have so many similarity . The first one is that in Germany  you have to assist to school 8 hour per day just as PR and also we have to assist to school 5 days per week . The second one is that we have the similar times for vacation .In PR we have 2 weeks of Christmas 2 weeks of thanksgiving 2 weeks of spring break and finally 6 weeks of summer vacations is equal in Germany .
