> In Germany there is a big after school business with homework help that parents have to pay.

I grew up in (Eastern) Germany, but left in 2009. As far as I can tell, cram schools like that are rather niche.

Compared to my adopted home of Singapore at least, where you see them on every corner.

Do keep in mind that the educational system in Germany is run by the individual states. And I have only seen Saxony-Anhalt directly on a day to day basis. Though I probably still had more exposure to the other states than someone from outside the country.

I didn't like German schooling that much. But I have no clue about the other complaints in your comment.
