School Choice May Save Lives


Do Public Schools Really Suck? Don't Ask Me, Ask the Teachers.

and if all 5:35 else fails just say hey this is what 5:37 they do in Sweden don't you like Sweden


5:42 No, I don't like Sweden.

I'm a Swedish expat.

The school I went was a hellhole of bullying. For a few months, 8th grade, I was allowed homeschooling.

Me and ma would have wanted home-schooling for 9th grade, based on some few lessons actually in school (French, English, typewriting) but not in class (for French and English), and the rest per correspondence.

Nope. It's hardly even facetious to spell it Nyet. The social boards in Malmö were Socalist, and had a Sovietic attitude about things.

I was, on their expense, sent to a school which for the first year cost them, if it had been today it would have been:

5 000 + 10 000 + 378 000 = 393 000 SEK
393 000 SEK = 35 168,29 EUR
393 000 SEK = 41 112 USD

Unless social services had a discount, of course.

The first two years there, bullying was even worse. The last two years, I had kind of given up, decided to allow teasing from stand points that were humiliating to my person in order not to be so to my faith.

I regret I didn't leave Sweden after graduating. I left Sweden in 2004 and am currently, as then, homeless. Sweden puts spokes in my wheels, tries to monitor my situation from afar, and that destroys parts of my attempts at getting up. Getting back to Sweden where I would be pretty assured of an appartment, or would have been recently? No.
