...Also, in a class with other people who speak german as a second language, the general standards may be lower.
That is correct. We addressed this issue by consciously seeking out an area to live whereby the locals strongly outweigh the foreigners :-)

We can see the impact on the classrooms: in the new school year when our children will go to the normal class at the local school, there is only 1 or 2 non-native Swiss-German speaking children in each class. That helps hugely.
