Christina if you do a part 2 on this subject would like to hear a comparison, in your opinion of the differences between teachers in Norway and the U.S. if any. Very informative video by the way, you were pretty much spot on describing a typical American high school. 👩‍🏫🎓🏑⛹️🏌🏻🏊‍♀️ 🇺🇸🇳🇴

[@ChristinaWedvik]

thanks for the suggestion!! 😄

American schools were much more regimented in the past. In the 1960s there were far fewer electives, and things like art classes or psychology were mostly in upper middle class suburban schools. And city schools didn't have anywhere near the school spirit programs or other social things. There was some of that, but not what I see on videos today.

hi christina, i just wanted to say that i discovered your channel not too long ago and i’m obsessed with your videos ! i’ve wanted to be an exchange student since last year and i love watching your videos about it, it makes me dream a little more. you look like a super nice and genuine person and keep the good work ! :))

[@ChristinaWedvik]

aw that makes me so so happy!! thank you so much for the comment

[@khaliajomaa7713]

We also have like separate graduation parties with like families and friends and things like for my sisters was red and black themed for her school and we had an ice cream truck and a photo booth rented so we could have a good farewell party with our family before she leaves for college/university.

[@ChristinaWedvik]

ahh that's so cool!! 🤩🤩

We do have kindergarten before 1st grade in America so in reality we also do 13 years of school. 😀

[@ChristinaWedvik]

Yeah, but we also have kindergarden kind of, so I had a year left of school while ly american friends who were as old went off to college. but I’ve found out the american bachelor is 4 years, while norwegian only 3, so I guess that’s where the difference catches up!

Being able to select more fun classes in 11th grade (USA) is entirely dependent on your success and grades in 9th and 10th grade. Most Students don't have easy classes in 11th grade. In fact, it tends to be your most difficult year as far as rigorous studies and schoolwork goes. 12th grade is typically when everyone takes thier easy classes.

[@ChristinaWedvik]

Thanks for sharing! Yeah - i got the impression that junior year was like the hard year 😵‍💫

[@tessabroekhof1090]

Dutch and Norwegian schools are so similar! Like it’s still very different but its more alike than with American schools

[@tessabroekhof1090]

Also what’s ur insta?

[@tessabroekhof1090]

Another thing, I think the schedule is different for a lot of schools in the us. Like out high school has a 10 day schedule

[@ChristinaWedvik]

That’s so cool!! My Instagram is @christinaedvar! :)

[@Tmoney_420_]

The American highschool cut off date for a school year is around the middle of august my birthday is august 11th and I’ve always been older than my class I’m about to an 18 year old senior while a lot of people will turn 18 during the year so the class of 23 me has a lot of 04 kids and 05 kids

[@azizas162]

Wow! This was super helpful, but I'm still kinda confused about how u can be in a class with freshman wen ur a senior lmao but why?

[@ChristinaWedvik]

Apparently that’s how it worked on my schools 🤷‍♀️ Espescially the first one which was a super hard school, so every senior had hard classes, and I just wanted to chill and have fun, so that was the freshman stuff 🙄😅

[@rrpdsks]

@9:20 Do you mean you have block schedules? Like the same classes Monday Wednesday Friday. Then classes you take on Tuesday and Thursday? We have block schedules in some schools in America

[@ChristinaWedvik]

Nope, i experienced that block system a few weeks in the US, but in Norway every single day is different from each other :)

[@kariamalie7655]

Går du studiespesialisering på vgs? Ble utvekslings året ditt godkjend? Fikk du penger av Lånekassen eller betalte dere hele beløpet selv?

[@ChristinaWedvik]

Jeg går ssp ja, året ble godkjent (heldigvis er skoøen min grei på å godkjenne) men måtte ta tysk online ved siden av, fikk ca 55000 av Lånekassen som dekket ca 50%, men jeg var heldig og vant en stipendkonkurranse hos Explroius så vi trengte bare å betalte rundt 10 000 selv ❣️

[@kariamalie7655]

Christina Wedvik tusen takk❤️ Jeg har hatt lyst til å dra på utveksling helt siden jeg var 12 og håper jeg for muligheten til det. Digger videoene dine foresten:)

[@danaasher2591]

Interesting information.......I think you are ready to go to college in the States.........

[@David-cg6wl]

i swear we need sport teams in norway

[@yasserchemsso8307]

Did one tell you that you're very pretty 🤔🤔🤔

[@ChristinaWedvik]

aw thank you 🥺🙈

[@johncreighton908]

Born in 2002? I've got ketchup in my refrigerator older than you sweetheart..great video..my favorite singer is Norwegian..Angelina Jordan..check her out on KZbin .

[@ChristinaWedvik]

oh yeah, i loved her on Norwegians Got Talent 🤪

[@ForeverGoth]

How I found this video: 1 - was playing Death Stranding on steam. In the game I found a memory chip that showed the film "Thelma" 2 - KZbind "Thelma" trailer, basically its a Norwegian lesbian high school student with powers. 3 - saw that Norwegian high schools looked cooler or more elite. Like the high school in the film looked good. Because I'm American and American public high schools look like cheap crap :D 4 - wanted to see how Norwegian high schools looked like. I will Google Earth Norwegian high schools. Christina, if you see this comment. STAY AWAY from America. STAY AWAY! here in America now boys are girls and girls are boys now :( women are men and men are women, its called being "woke" its insane. America is cancerous in the brain and the body. We were never like this before and the future is grim. They're "teaching" us that theres no difference between male and female gender. . .which makes no sense -_-
