Interesting. German schools teach British English. It's with time that I was more and more influenced by American English but first and foremost I have a strong German accent

In the UK, schools largely teach European French/Spanish/etc.

I wish more European countries would teach European (British) English.

Teaching British English would certainly feel the most appropriate as it is the local variant

You can teach whatever, the kids are still going to get way more exposure to American accents than British from tv and movies.
