My question is simple. What is taught in German schools whether it be
north or south, Low German or High German???

Hi Bob,
as simple as your question may be,
as complicated is the true answer!
- usualy in all German schools "High German" is taught, but
in the north: from Danish border ut to Harz-mountain,
from M�nster in the west to the balticsea, there are
several schools "Low German" is taught to the children.
After world-war-II it seams (to me) as if "Low German = Plattdeutsch"
should came down, but there war a great movement to refresh
this language and the number of schools that offer Plattdeutsch
to the children increases.
I was born 1945 and I didn?t learn Plattdeutsch in school
but I leaned from the farmworkers on my fathers farm.
Today I?m listening radio-brodcasting each morning in "Platt"
even I don?t live in the contry anymore but in the city of Hamburg
