This year they tried to give us longer classes so the subjects that are supposed to have maybe one hour per week got moved to on term with two hours per week. I think it was a good move, longer classes give you more change to "get into it" and less time needs to be used to take things like instruments out and in.

Ah right, we just pick 7 or 8 subjects that we study through the year. Same timetable the whole time, gets pretty boring pretty quick

We don't get to pick in 8th grade. In 9th we have one pick to make and then after that we have the gymnasium and get to pick where we want to go with our studies.

No, in sweden we start first grade when we're 6/7 years old, then finish primary school in ninth grade (15/16 years old), then we have secondary school in three years. And then university.

So you start at an earlier age but then we end secondary school at the same age. So basically from there we're the same

Nah, I mean you finishing primary school at 15/16, when we finish at 11. That's how I find it quite different.
