Actually, the separation is between 4th and 5th class, nominal age 10 (with 1st class at nominally 6). You're correct that a number of experts say that's too early, and ought to be maybe two years later.

There are more school models than the three traditional ones, and there's usually political strife about creating more such schools (generally the left side of the spectrum) and not (right side). Probably the best known of those is the Gesamtschule, which, as the name suggests, doesn't separate at all, and seems to be fairly popular, that is, I've often heard that the demand there is higher than the supply.

“Ah, yes,” Susan shook her head. “Alles ist in Ordnung. That may be the German mantra.”

Hmm. This is definitely wrong, but it is not obvious what the right version would be. I can't think of an idiom that would fit here. Approving idioms about bureaucracy? Well, maybe some survived from the fifties ...
