Hi, Iβm Dr. Ashton Schottler. A former teacher and architectural historian with a PhD in Human Geographyβ¦. You can say, I like studying communities and I do that by examining how humans across the globe have shaped them. And as someone who has lived, studied and worked in both the United States and in Germany, I especially love the juxtaposition of life that manifests itself from one country to another. From macro-economics down to micro-urbanism, I explore and explain the political economics, society, and culture that shapes the world around youβ¦. And I share all of this through my personal lens of an immigrant navigating that world with you. Uncovering the storytelling behind the data, I hope to keep these topics accessible, easy to understand, and interestingβ¦ I hope you will be entertained, and maybe learn something along the way. Do you have a question worth diving into? Well, Type Ashton and letβs find out together.

Now that we've been fully immersed in German Kita for the past 3 months, we look back on the up's, the down's and the challenges that have come with enrolling a toddler in the German daycare system From the culture shocks of figuring out German child development pedagogy to the challenges of trying to be a "full-time" working parent - we have had to do a lot of adapting as an immigrant family. Does the German Kita do it better than the American daycare system? Let us know your thoughts below in the comments.
