School in the U.S vs. School in Norway - Rant (Sort of) *LOTS OF TALKING*

[@Celna525]

I'm Norwegian, and I was in America back in 2011/2012 for my second year in high school. I though the American school was alot easier than the Norwegian school. It was so chill, out of all the clases I took, the only 2 classes where I actually learned something was Intro to psych and Cit/gov. I rarely had homework, the tests and finals were so easy, and I ended up graduating with a 4.0 (for just the senior year) I was way more stressed attending Norwegian school than American, but then again, I think the Norwegian school is better.

[@user-vf3cb7vk8z]

Celna Ens phychology and government are very easy tbh lol.

[@Celna525]

A Very Kind Guy Might be. I didn't take phychology in Norway, so I can't compare. But for math, economy and biology (which were some of my other classes) they were way easier in the US than in Norway

[@user-vf3cb7vk8z]

Celna Ens Those are regents level classes which is why. There is also IB classes which I'm taking 2 of right now they really aren't that hard (precalculus and business) then I'm taking 2 AP classes which are pretty tough (Physics and US History). Psychology is just an elective if I'm not wrong and electives here are usually super easy. If you were in normal Calculous though which at least for my school is always AP level and you thought it was easy then I think you have a future in math lol. I also agree that biology is very easy, I got a 99% on the final. And since you were in biology I'm thinking that you were in geometry is definitely the most simple math. Algebra 1 is probably a little bit harder which doesn't make much sense because we had to take it before geometry. When one of my friends went to Norway because his father had to stay there for some business gig he said the opposite and that you guys learned more life skills and stuff. It's not that way here unless we decide to take Care & Financial or something.

[@Celna525]

A Very Kind Guy Psychology was an elective. The only reason I took biology was because I was required by my exchange program to take some sort of science, and biology was the only subject that fit into my schedule. I took Algebra 2 actually. I think throughout the year, I only learned 1 new thing. I struggled alot with math here in Norway, so I definitely do not have a future in math xD

[@user-vf3cb7vk8z]

Celna Ens Algebra 2 was kind of annoying, especially when they first instated common core. I'm not sure if you got caught up in common core but it sucks. Trump wants to get rid of it so I'm going to cross my fingers and hope he does. I don't support Trump by the way so don't think that. He's a terrible person. But anyway, I don't have a future in math either lol. What state did you go to? I'm up in Ontario County, New York.

[@oakroot6657]

I go to school in the US and have never been anywhere else but having fun in school sounds really fun. For the most part I don't even see my friends during school so this sounds nice.

[@Shirayukizama]

University is basically free in norway. You have to pay a "semesteravgift" each semester which is like 600 - 700 nok, and then you have to pay for your books. So it's not completely free, but still A LOT less than in the US.

[@coleengallardo1622]

This is a good video! We're moving to Norway soon and I'm watching videos like this to atleast get ideas of what to expect but what I'm worrying about the most is the language since I don't know how to speak the language of Norway and I heard they use their language in school. Anyway thanks for the infos!

[@coleengallardo1622]

Btw, how did you learn the language fast? Do you have any tips? Thanks in advance :)

[@christiantmyhre]

+coleen gallardo First of all, Norwegian is hard to learn (I have been told :) ). As with every language, the best thing to do to learn it is to use it! When you have the basic verbs down, maybe try watching Norwegian movies (with and without subtitles). I have used this when learning french and it really helps! I would also suggest using Duolingo. It is a free website for learning languages and it is really good. I would focus on basic words and listening a lot, and once you get here you will pick it up quick. PS: everyone speak English in Norway, it is taught from we're 6yo so you'll have no problem understanding classes etc.

[@coleengallardo1622]

+Chris M that was a helpful advice thanks so much!! :D

[@cosco4680]

It would be fun to learn you Norwegian since I live in Norway

[@martineeinarsen]

I'm norwegian, and I heard that the languages with the same alfabeths are easy to learn. Sine it's easy for a norwegian to learn english, it shuldn't work the other way too. I think the biggest difference is æ ø and å but when you have learnt these, the rest shuld go well. I an Sorry if i misspell something, i'm better at speaking english, so I write it the way I would have said it.

[@ingridakernes3760]

Kudos to you for doing something not a lot of American students do during their high school years. I did the opposite going from Norway to the US as an exchange student and man there is so much ignorance going on over there that could be prevented if only people had the opportunity to do exchanges and travel more in their teenage years. I could start a whole rant about this topic but that's not the point ;) And good job for learning Norwegian that well in only 6 months =)

[@smolville]

School in the U.S. wasn't so bad back in the 70's. Hardly any homework. I had an evening job all through high school. My Junior and Senior, I had vo-tech three hours a day which was really easy and I had one hour running the projector as library assistant. Most of my math classes were in vo-tech, which had better teachers anyway. Looking back, I wish that I had taken typing.

[@thorarisan]

as a norwegian student i can say that the norwegian govorment has paymentprograms via lånekassa.no for public schools, like i go to the semester fee is at a little under 8000 kr and you can borrow that for free from the govorment, you only have to start paying it back 6 months after you finished your education. they also help you pay for student housing, food etc. privat schools cost a little more, but its still afordable with the govorments student loans. dont know how this works for forigners, but i know they have a lot of excange programs atleast at my school for students who want to go to school here , check it out ;)

[@VanessaHK]

you do have to pay for college here in Norway, it is a little cheaper (or they have been discussing to make it cheaper) if you decide to study in Tromsø or Trondheim because they want to move the population a little away from Oslo. but you get financial aid by the state, or a loan I guess, but if u graduate collage a big part of your loan gets turned into a scholarship and I think it's like 50% stays a loan which you have to pay back. but compared to the US? the loan your left with after a bachelor if u study here vs. US is ridiculously different!

[@cyberneticbutterfly8506]

+Vanessa H. K For public college it's just 950NOK/semester at the college I went to. If it's at a private college it's obviously charged for tuition. The financial aid most students take is for living expenses, rent, food etc. That isn't what people mean when they say that they have to pay for college in america. What they mean is that they have to pay the college a bill for the teaching. Maybe for instance 45000$ for a year of tuition. And then pay your rent and food on top of that. That's alot more than our measly 950 NOK administration fee.

[@stinelybekk]

[@astrid4066]

I went to private school in the US, and although the workload was quite massive with tons of homework every single day, I still often say that school in the US is a lot easier than in Norway simply because it was easier to get better grades in the US. It was usually not very hard to get an A in the US if you did your work, while in Norway getting an A (6) is almost not possible. I had straight As over there, while back home in Norway I only had a couple of As - and mostly Bs (5). I found the tests a lot easier as they were usually not essay-type tests like home, but rather multiple choice or itsy bitsy essays. I was mroe stressed out in Norway as getting that A was a huge pain. But yeah, the biggest issue I had in the US was the day to day workload, and that we had exactly the same classes every single day...

[@lactarius7781]

+Molly P. i think you have misunderstood slightly. i dont think B is comparable to 5, but rather an A. 6 is like totally top notch, closer to A+.

+lactarius 77 ok thanks!

[@cyberneticbutterfly8506]

+Lina Mortrier In my experience learning languages the key things are to A) Learn the sound script, those wierd characters in the dictionaries that explain how to pronounce and B) Listen to a recording of yourself speak, your own voice doesn't sound to others as it does to you due to the bone in your skull. Verify that you are are pronouncing correctly by listening to your own voice recorded with a software and a PC mic or something.

English: Collage in norway is FREE, BUT it cost for membership in student...(I don't know quite how to translate rest of the name). It would cost 400-500 every half year. If you have that membership or what ever it called it gives you exemple: cheaper bus's ticket (you know you can buy bus ticket for a month, well they gives you little discount. The membership also gives you a possibility for a student apartment (alone I think 2000-3000 kr, depends on the size) (P.S This is how it is in Bergen, it's probably almost the same everywhere else but just so you know!) Norsk: høyskolen i Norge er GRATIS, MEN det koster å være medlem i noe Student Forening-greie. Det koster 400-500kr semesteret. Hvis du har medlemskap du får f.eks: billigere buss billett, du vet månedsbillett, i Bergen du betaler du 400kr pr. Mnd. Medlemskapet også gir deg tilgang til studentbolig /leilighet. Det koster 2000-3000 kr, spørs størrelsen (måtte korte ned på den norske pga. Ikke tillat å skrive så mye mer😅😓

Frida SE Depends. If you want to be someone in the US you need to challenge yourself. Take college level classes even (AP). At minimum you should take 3-4 years of a foreign language, math classes up to precalculus, and English class every year, science up to physics/AP physics, social studies up to government and economy, a creative class such as DDP and then you could continue that up to computer programming and some other PLTW courses, perhaps some medicine and business classes, etc. School here is really stressful and very hard, only if you push yourself though. You can't even drop out until 16, idk if it's the same in Norway. I had a friend go to Norway for a bit and when he came back he needed to take summer school.

[@grevberg]

+Jo S. Norway like all Scandinavian countries has the Lutheran work ethic welfare is available but having to rely on it is viewed as a failure and something you need to get off as soon as possible. Other cultures do not view things that way and love not having to work but not Scandinavians.

[@Dovenpeis]

+Jo S. Living on welfare is not going to do wonders for your social life in Norway, on the contrary. If you are male you can basically forget about getting a girlfriend et cetera. So despite the welfare state providing you with life support if you do not work, there is a big pressure to get your working act together anyway.

[@Kjernekar]

That's partialliy correct. To get money you do have to aplly for jobs in different intervalls. The state will try to find jobs for you, and you have to attend meetings with your "state contact" and discuss possible jobs you can accept.

[@Dovenpeis]

Kjernekar For certain benefits, yes, but there is one benefit they legally cannot deny you no matter how much you fuck up. It is the least of the least and lowest of the low of benefits, and it is universally available. No matter how many jobs you fail to apply for, how many agreements you fail to follow up and how many meetings you fail to show for et cetera, your “state contact” cannot legally deny you life support. They can only try to make your life miserable by postponing the payment for a while, but in the end you are entitled to that money every month anyhow. Which is as it should be!

Hei. Skole i Norge er gratis basiclly, men man må betale for å kjøpe bøker og ting man trenger for å fullføre eksamen på høyskole/universitet. Også er det et semesteravgift du må betale ca 600 kr hvert semester. Så ''college'' i Norge er mye billigere og kanskje bedre! PS: Man kan også ta skolelån, sånn ca. 60 000 kr pr år uten renter mens du går på skole, også betale det tilbake etterhvert!

Besides lots of subjects that are completely useless - but, still, you're obliged to memorize so you may NEVER use it again in adulthood. Kisses.

Hei! So I know this is a really old video, but i want to say that out of all the school systems i heard of, US is the absolute worst. Even in Serbia we have a way better system tbh...

Get it off our chest was correct 😂 American school sucks so much lol

[@grimmracloudshrom7743]

Exactly my point American schools are bad compared to European schools

[@jmitterii2]

+grimmra cloudshrom Many European countries' test scores show they do European countries out perform US students. Our schools are too set in traditions which are out of date. We need to learn from some of these other schools. Learning isn't just the lessons being offered, its the culture, the person learning. Most people in the US with just a high school diploma, unless it's in their field can't even remember basic science like what causes earth's gravity? Most say the spin of the earth... in fact all of my family members from my oldest brother who is 40 his son my nephew who is 20, my younger brother who just turned 30, and my dad who's 68 all quoted the rotation of the earth an elementary level concept that mass causes gravitational attraction. Anyways,our schooling system needs to adopt it's conflicted with culture, people aren't retaining what is learned and it shows in knowledge quizzes. It's no wonder we're such a dumb country that the oligarchs can easily control us, no universal medical system, many private utilities which literally a licence to own a monopoly and screw the consumers, destruction of labor unions, etc. We're becoming the stupid nation.

Hi, is it true that in Nowegian schools there are no subjects like literature, chemistry and physics (science), no history...??? I heard that Norway is the first country that wants to make their people stupid enough to contol them better. It is an experiment that European Union wants to apply in all European countries in order to make one big federation of them. They say that is also the reason why there are so many refugees accepted to Europe - to mix them with the European population and decreas the inteligent quotient (IQ) of Europeans. They want Europeans to be stupid enough to be controlled but clever enough to work... What do you think? Is it good not to have to learn and study? I guess the more we know the better. So it is definitely worth the effort and time spent over textbooks...

What are you talking about? I'm taking chemistry and physics right now in Norwegian high school, and we're forced to take history.
