This is my Vlog channel! 🤍 Sweden is becoming one of my favorite countries! Can’t wait to visit 😭✨👍

"Where's the security guards? And where are the metal detectors?" "Honey, this is a school not a prison".

I’m watching someone getting mind blown by my everyday life. It's funny

It wasn't a foreign language, it was the local language, english is the foreign language there.

Home schooling is very, very rare anywhere outside the US. It can only happen if your parent or home tutor is a certified teacher at your grade level or above. Kids in Scandinavian countries, plus Netherlands & Belgium, are fluent in English as a second language. Here in Kenya, kids speak their local language to grade 1, add Kiswahili at grade 2, add English at grade 3, and begin either French or German at grade 5 or 6. My kids each spoke six languages fluently by grade 7. BTW, you mention the "old" school building. The school I attended from 8-13 in London was in a building built in 1670. My youngest son's school was founded in 909. (Not 1909, 909!)

We in Sweden and most other countries find it important that children and young people, not only eat healthy, but also get a good relationship to food.

Unlike the US, where high school is basically a continuation of primary school, high schools in the Nordic countries (can't speak for the rest of Europe) are more profession oriented. Which means that students basically choose their initial career path in grade 9. Say for instance that you want to work in the transport sector (trucks, bus or taxi), you simply choose a high school that have that program. Or if you want to get into the medical profession, nurse or doctor, then you choose a school with a medical program. These programs are in turn then a foundation for higher learning in collage or university. Also. The reason you didn't see any footage of a classroom is most likely due to it being her next to last day in school. So, no classes. 🙂

"There's no such thing as a free lunch." - random U.S. citizen, probably "Hold my fika." - Sweden

This is not socialism. That is the mistake that American make. 28C = 80F

Mindblowing is that going to highschool is free of charge. So money doesnt decide where you go. The better grades make it possible to get into better schools. So you knowledge is prioritized not your wealth

That just looks like a normal meal to me - not 5 star, just good healthy- I am sure they would probably have a choice of oat milk or almond milk if they cannot drink dairy.

13:13 No socialism as far as the eye can see. Sweden is a liberal democracy with a free-market capitalist economic system like the USA. It's all about what you spend the tax SEK/USD on.

"everyone is bilingual?" Yeah, the only ones in the world that does NOT speak 2 languages is the ones that has english as their main language xD Everyone else learn another language at school, usually english, but some (like Morocco learn French) learn another language.

12:25 The sign says: "Today's lunch contains: Fish fillet hake coconut cream onion, lemon, garlic Vegetarian - Non vegan! Vegan - special food in the kitchen!" Edit1: And yes, of course they've got lactose free milk. The outrage that would be if they didn't. 😁 And you can also get special food if you are allergic to something else like nuts. Also, you can get special food if you are like gluten intolerant. Edit2: 14:57 Yeah, that is why the rest of the world look at USA and think: "Land of the free? Yeah, in some ways. But..." This lady is probably turning 19 the year this vid was shot. And you can get a driver's license at 18, so usually the ones born early in the year got to drive everyone else where ever they wanna go. Some 20 years ago, that lunch trip to McDonald's was not unusual. 😊

Sweden isn't socialist, although socialism isn't inheritly bad.

In Europe we graduate when we finish school not every year like we survived that year lol

Fun fact: The food isn't just free, you get paid to go to school.

About the school looking old, I went to a high school that was founded in the early 17th century

They pay loads of taxes in the Scandinavian countries to pay for stuff like this it could never happen in the United States people would say it was Communist.

climbing not recling 😂

The school is an old factory building, which is why it is so angular and without decorations.

for school lunches you cna choose Milk, water or Juice usualy, and i even think most schools today have "Laktosfri" Milk, wich is Milk without Lactose, quite popular in sweden.

in Europe we have schools older than the us

People that has allergy or can not eat something, are given special food that suits them. You have to register that something is not ok though in order to get that.

You have so much to learn, keep on watching to broaden your perspective.

The food at their school looks so much like the food at my school in Finland. It is "buffet style" but you are not allowed to take as much as you want. For example, if there are meatballs on the menu, you are allowed to take maybe max. 6 of them? And yes, food is free at school thanks to taxpayers paying for most of it. Free until high school, and relatively cheap in university. At my uni, I paid 1,60 euros or so, but the government paid the rest of it. And of course, that was the normal option, there also is a "better" food option that costs a bit more, maybe 4 euros? I often went for that if the basic option was not that appealing :D

So interesting to see how you react. Will keep an eye out for more videos from Sweden

The people that are lactos, allergic, there will always be food, lactos milk or whatever to them. I live in sweden

Dressing codes doesn’t exist in Sweden, you could literally wear a bikini top to school and no one could say anything to you

YOU SHOILD REACT TO WHEN SWEDES GRADUATE HIGH SCHOOL!! ITS SO DIFFERENT AND YOU I THINK YOU WILL BE SO FACINATED❤️❤️

Why are shoulders bad to see? They only connect arms to the body 🤨

Oh your reaction to our free lunches was absolutely hilarious 😂

It’s actually a law to go to school if you not sick you need to go to school you can be home schooled it’s because all children must have the right to learn and that’s why it’s freee to

12:27 I’M SORRY THIS REACTION IS PRICELESS 😭

In my school(in France), we could go in and out as we wanted, they checked ours bags but that was it, so on Fridays afternoon or when we had missing teachers we would go ice skating or swimming or getting ice cream too lmaoo good memories were made, that's for sure !

Hehe i used to travel 1 h to school everyday, At one point we lived so much out in the middle of nowehere, that the busdriver kept overlooking me, cause there isnt usually anyone who got onto that busstop and so he had to back up to get me. - northern swede

I live in sweden.It's pretty good here

04:57 It is illegal to be home-schooled in Sweden.

14:41 As a lactose intolerant I can tell you that there are in many cases a lactose free milk or milk substitute that we could choose. May vary from different schools tho…

At the beginning of the school year u inform your schools principal about your allergies so that the can make special meals for you and theirs always a vegetarian or vegan option

Regarding the buses and travels; we don’t have school buses in Sweden, you just use the regular pubic transportation bus/subway/train etc. However, most students don’t live very far away from their school, I would say that the students in my high school averaged a 20 minute bus ride

celsius should be easy to relate too, 0 degrees = freezing water (it may snow that day etc) 100 degrees = boiling water (human body= circa 37degrees)

The thing about people that need special food or maybe youre lactos, you get to write all your allergies on a note and give it to the Lunch lady and you get special food in every kind of school thats just the standard

4:22 im actually riding my bike home from school in like 3 hours lol

climbing & harness :)

If you are alergic to something in the food you are going to get other food thats safe for you for free. 💚💚

Well I went to a Swedish high school in a small town in the late 1990's and we sure didn't have that kind of a lunch buffet. It was mostly just bland boiled potatoes and some barely cooked sausage, never fried, only boiled sausage. Don't remember any vegetables/salad at all. I was very picky with food back then also so I ate just bread and a bowl of yoghurt with corn flakes that for some reason always was an option. Don't know if things changed in the last 25 years or if I just happened to grow up in a poor town with limited school funding. 😄 Of course we could leave the school on the breaks. I remember in 4 to 6th grade were a class mate lived just next to the school and we sometimes went home to his house and played video games on the longer lunch breaks.

In sweden we dont have and school buses we have public buses and if you are in “grundskolan” which it’s like elementary school and middle school and live very far away you can get like a transport in like a mini bus or van to school. But if you don’t you have to like walk to school or like take the bike ( which it’s most common to take you bike) or like take a public transport or like take your car.😅

I have a school that take me 5minits to that shcool but I choset a school in an outher city. So it takes me 1,5 houer to get to school. 💚💚

I think the school system in Norway in terms of years and levels. Here at least we have English from the first or second year of primary school and finis your first year of high school. You also have your third language through all of middle school and the first two years of high school (third as well if you don’t have it in middle school). In Norway we also have to learn two different writing systems which is annoying. The Scandinavian countries also usually understand each other in our native languages though some confusion can occur. 😅 The Norwegian school system: Barneskole/primary 1-7 starting the year you turn 6. Ungdomsskole/ middle school 8-9 starting the year you turn 13. Videregående/ high school 1-3 again if you’re going to take higher education or 1-2+ 2 if you some specific lines, starting the year you turn 16.

Im from Sweden To answer your question about that it takes long time to go to school, I live 10 min away (if you walk), you can kind of choose what school you want to go to so if you want to go to a school 1 hour away that is youre choice

The thing about lactose intolerant: right besides the normal milk there's lactose free milk and butter, cause we get bread every day, even if it's mostly hard, when we have soap then we have soft bread as well.

If you are lactose intolerant or have allergies of any kind, there are alternatives because some schools have special menus for those people so everyone can eat food at school regardless of allergies or not.

If you have dietary restrictions the school will take care of that, so you will get served special food without your allergenic, this includes lactose free milk

When you are in an other country, the foreign language is English not the local ones.

I remember cycling home during lunch

Pretty sure i'ts not allowed to homeschool in Sweden.

14:47 they do make their food aswell and as healthy. Btw about that food pyramid all schools most follow that rule which is good.

Oh wow it’s a bit surreal seeing my old high school on youtube, if anyone has any questions I can respond to them I guess

In sweden we have high taxes wich makes school+lunch, healthcare free

cool that is the high school in my town

We had lived there many years.

I would to see a Japanese high school or Chinese high school vs America because specifically Japan ranks very high in many indexes. Also, Sweden is capitalist with more social programs. Similar to what would be a more "left" leaning America. So where our socials programs end, theirs would be more gracious.

The reason we do not do home school in Sweden is that we are required by law to go to an actual school, with teachers that actually knows things.

Yeah, this is not socialism, it's social democracy. There's a difference.

In Sweden we don't just go to the closest high school, we apply to the high schools with our grades from "grundskolan" (the mandatory schooling) from ages 6 to 16. Here different schools have different subjects so you apply to one (or more) that have the subject that you want to study so I for example studied bakery. There are 4 schools in all of Stockholm that has that so I had one somewhat close to me, 2 in more central Stockholm and one on the other side of Stockholm so no matter where I got accepted I would have to travel between 1 and 2.5 hours to get to the school, tho for the one that would take 2.5 hours, I would have lived at the school during the week and gone home on the weekends. I luckily got in to the closest one but it was still a little over an hour door to door. But if you want a more basic subject then you can go to most local high schools but for more practical subjects you have to choose that specific school that has it

react to baltic countries, those are one of the beautiful ones.

I am a white guy and holy stuufe look at that cafeteria. Yes we had to have what the cafeteria serve and I remember the square pizza servings. Free school meals for all kids we are growing they need good healthy meals I will accept a rise in my taxes ti make sure kids have healthy meals. Of course something kids will eat I was a pickey eater as a kid.

Celsius is so much easier when you have learned it. Zero degrees the point when water freezes to ice and hundred degrees is when the water starts to boil

about the Swedish school lunches... if you eat well and healthy it becomes easier for the students to learn and take in information, that way they learn better and become more productive citizens when they finish school and have to start working

We don homeschool in sweden. And we have a choice of highscool so there are probably schools more close to her house. Its a choice for her. Probs a girl with a wealthy family in a private school

16:44 "Treaty of the Metre" an international treaty that was signed in Paris on 20 May 1875 by; Argentina, Austria-Hungary, Belgium, Brazil, Denmark, France, Germany, Italy, Peru, Portugal, Russia, Spain, Sweden and Norway, Switzerland, Ottoman Empire, -> UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

I think you will find they are being given that food because it improves learning and conentration in the afternoon. US students don't need that because they are already the best in the world. WooHoo.

Quoting google: "While 65% or more of the total human population are lactose intolerant, in some human populations lactase activity commonly persists into adulthood. Lactose tolerance is exceptionally widespread in Northern European countries such as Sweden and Finland, with tolerance levels of 74% and 82%, respectively."

14:46 if your lactose you can get lactose free milk, as an lactose i could find the lactose free milk like next to the normal milk!

in sweden school is free and we get paid to go to school🙂

When I was at school in the 1960s we used to get what were known as dinner tickets for lunch, those of us who paid had the price of the ticket and those who got free meals had free written on the ticket, how embarrassing for those kids

About lactos no problem al that need special food or diets of health or religious reasons get alternative food or drinks.

You should react to the platinum jubilee!!

We have English class, since a lot of ppl in alot of countries speak it, it, along with Swedish and math class are the things u pretty much can’t fail or else ur not gunna gratuate

As an adult Swede I miss school lunches so much, I didn't appreciate what I had! :(( Bamba

Not socialism. Sweden is higher up the coorperate freedom index list than the USA. So business and companies got less regeletory rules from above than the US.

we have to go to school, its so rare to get to be homeschooled.

The ones That are allergic or dont drink or eat diary get other meals or the Same meals but without the things their allergic to

We don’t have socialism in sweden we have a ”mixed economy” lol😂

Yeah, everybody is at least bilingual. Here in Denmark, English is mandatory in school, and you learn it from day one in school. German is also mandatory, but only 4 years. I don't know if Swedes speak more than English. I GUESS they do have English from school start also.

In Australia students easily travel an hour to get to school. Myself included.

we have both lactos and non lactos so u can choose

I live in sweden and my school is a gaint old tobacco factory

6:39 "Max" is a Swedish burger restaurant. And I also my favorite burger restaurant! Edit: Also, "Max" is a name in Sweden, just like it is in America (Right??)

Is NOT SOCIALISM GET EDUCATED i left Sweden 50- years ago and we had this and could go and get seconds or thirds if you wanted

"You can go and buy ice cream??" Why would they not be able leave school for a while? Its not a prison.

If you have any allergies you get individual meals special for you.

Europeans have it good but mostly it is America that has it really bad. It is an extremely conservative mindset and that is not helping the students and if they want to show shoulder for example why not let them. Now of course one shouldn't go out a look in a very suggestive manner but letting people express themselves. It is very different with most all everyday things in Europe that are far better than America.

In Sweden we have English as a school subject

just for the record. Sweden is NOT a socialist country at all. The Nordic countries just have a different set-up Sweden /Nordic just want to get as competetive , helthy etc work force as possible. Capture every talant there is even among the poor and keep them healthy. . 80 % of the GDP is private commercial business

14:40 plant milk was invented. Don't you have it in America?😂

From 3grade english is manditory to learn. Most sweds know basic english. And we dont dub engish mowies we use undertext. Therefore you maintain your school engish.

Everyone almost has a buffé at school

They have lactose free milk at school to 🥛
