  1. The Swedish political system. Parliament and government and stuff. There was also a question, "What do you know about the Arab Spring?", most people didn't know what was meant, I knew way too much.

    I'd love some Physics.
  2. yeh Physics and chem are great. Science in general is great, are you studying any science at school?

    Yeah, Science is a subject.

    I'll choose a scientific path next year when I go to high school/secondary school/whatever.
  4. ohk yeah i still had science as a subject up until year 11 then it branched off into the actual subjects.
  5. Actual subjects?

    We have different school systems
  6. yeh true, in year 11 and 12 (the last 2 years b4 uni) we cud pick physics, chem, etc as actual subjects
  7. Ok, I'm in the 9th and last year of primary school, so I don't get to choose much. Next year I'll go to "Gymnasie", which lasts for three years and then you go to university. So next year I'll get to start choosing a lot
  8. Cool, i started enjoying highschool a lot more once i got to choose my subjects, in 9th Grade i had to do drama, dance and cooking haha it was horrible.

    Thats interesting that 9th grade is still called Primary school in Sweden. Highschool starts from grade 8 and goes to grade 12 here. So do you go to school with grade 3's and 4's?
  9. Primary school that is the mandatory school starts at age 6/7, has nine grades and is finished at age 15/16. Then you go to "Gymnasiet" with three grades, and then you go to university.

    I think I didn't fully understand your question.
  10. thats cool, if primary school has 9 grades, are all 9 of those grades at the same school campus?
  11. School is different everywhere you go.

    I'm 16, and I'm going to university in September next year, whereas Olof won't be going until he is maybe 19.
  12. Depends on how big the school is. My school has all nine grades, another school nearby only has the first six grades.

    Yeah, you wish that at least university would be at the same time.

    Does university like start with two years for you Kieran? 'Cause the International Baccalaureate program is only two years, and starts at the age that you're of right now.
