our books still had references to east germany
i think by high school german we had slightly newer books, like *right* after unification, but i only took one level of it because the german teacher (same lady as 6th grade) left the school district for a better paying community college job and the only other qualified german teacher in the district didn't want to teach it and was so depressed he would sometimes just slump at his desk and be sad while we did self study
