I don't understand.. does Americans expect that Norweigans school their kids in English? Why did she make a point that Norweigan kids are taught in their native language?
She obviously was talking about children of foreigners working in Norway for a periode of time. These children often goes to International school, where they teach in English. Of course only children of English speakers will get their education in their mothers tongue. Anyway, these schools makes it easier for highly educated people who want their kids to keep up with their learning skills to come to Norway. If they have another mothers tongue than English, the language is useful to know for everyone.
@@xmascookies97 You are right that I answered something other than what was asked. It is also true that Norwegian researchers have found that children learn best in their own mother tongue. That is why Sami children can receive education in Sami instead of Norwegian, and not as in the past, when my Sami grandparents received education in a language they did not have the best conditions to understand. She did not mention English as an alternative to Norwegian, as far as I could hear.

Of course, these children are not taught in Norwegian in oral subjects until they have learned basic Norwegian. I am also a former teacher, and have worked for many years in a Norwegian school until quite a few years ago, so I know the system.
7:24 so… our high school is not like high school. But we can choose exactly what we want to do. I took “hairdressing and design” and became a makeup artist. What we actually call “high school” is a school you go to after going to those three, but before you’d go to university or anything. People take it as a kind of “year off”. Primary school; you start the year you turn 6 Middle school; you start the year you turn 13 The higher school; start the year you turn 17
I am Norwegian and a former teacher. I agree that we have a very good school system in Norway. It could obviously be better, among other things we could learn from Finland, and not carry out new reforms as soon as we have adapted to the previous reform. It is as if the politicians do not trust the teachers, which is pretty bad. Norwegian teachers in general are doing a good job. Private schools have been allowed for a long time, but only for alternative educational directions and schools based on religion. Islamic schools are not allowed. The latest grant is International schools, which were necessary to recruit workers for, among other things, high-tech companies. The vast majority of children go to public school in Norway. Some choose Christian schools for their children since Norway is a very secular society, and Christian families may find that their religion is directly opposed in school. We also have the Steiner School and the Montessori School in Norway. Parents who want their children to have a different form of education send their children to these schools, but they make up a small proportion of the total student body. In addition, there are a number of children who are bullied in public schools, or who are unable to adapt to everyday school life in public schools, who are sent to all types of private schools. I think it's a good supplement to public school because some people need an alternative. It is not necessarily people with a lot of money who send their children to these schools. People with normal incomes choose to spend what little it costs to give their children a better everyday life. The private schools are largely funded by the public sector. Otherwise, I can say that we absolutely have homework in almost every Norwegian school, and as a former teacher I must say that I find it absolutely necessary for several reasons. Firstly, it is legislated that education must be provided in collaboration with the home. How are the parents supposed to know anything about the teachings if they do not participate in the lessons - naturally enough in the form of homework? There are also quite a few children who work very poorly when they are at school. Many of these children work well when they have their parents nearby. If we took away homework, these children would lose out, because they would lose valuable time for different kinds of training, not least, reading. Thirdly, ambitious parents would have made sure that their children had carried out school-like activities at home anyway, for example reading, which is absolutely necessary to practice a lot, and which can be done at home in the sofa or in bed at bedtime. The recipe for creating class separation is to ensure that some of the children do not get the training they need to become educated. Children with less ambitious parents who had not been forced to do homework - and who did not do well at school would have become society's losers. There are still some who speak warmly in favor of homework-free school - unfortunately I don't think they understand what it is they want to get rid of. Norwegian schools offer pupils who need it, and who cannot get help at home, that they can do their homework at school with an adult present. It is a good and popular offer where I have worked. The youngest pupils can do homework in the after-school program.
I have to say,, The people in my grade can barely do 10x13 and they only manage to do 2 of those type questions in TWO HOURS. I find that absolutely insane. They also complain about homework because we have a lot of it, but they are too stupid to realise that the reason why they have that is because they dont do enough work in class. They are also generally dumb.
6:02 As far as I know, it hasn’t changed. I still went to primary school in 2006, I had one more year left, and I didn’t notice a difference in that year 😅 The only private school I know of is “strinerskolen” but people still go there regardless of economic class, and it just a… different way to learn, I guess. The kids that went there were just seen as bit more “eccentric”, I guess?
This all also applies to finland, actually, people usually say Finland has the best educational system. I'm not even sure if this is accurate for norway.
Finland typicallt have 50 points a head of both Norway and Denmark.. and Sweden typicallt laginf behind 50 more points. And to be fair. This really have very little to do with the schools more so the population.
That´s not the only thing Norway does better tha the rest of the world. They also have the most humane prison system and routines. Still they also have the lowest rates af relapsing into crime after serving a sentence. So I guess the must be doing something right! There are several videos on YT about the norwegian prisons that you´ll find easily if you want to, For example the famous american film maker Miachael Moores video on the subject
@@dwaynesview I´m looking forward to that! About the non-excisting homework for schoolkids, I think that it´s very good. The learning should take place at school where there are experienced educaters to help them getting evrything right. Most parents don´t have that ability! And besides... as you say yourself, after a long day at school kids should be allowed to relax, play with friends and ahve fun
11:10 No, we have homework here. We did when I went to school, and I know my nephew in 2nd grade has homework. We just have less There’s some wrong things here.
I hope Norwegian private schools are better than Swedish. In Sweden private schools are given money meant to go to the student. These schools make money by squeezing the budget for teachers, school material and so on. The more fancy private schools give their students higher grades even though they haven't earned them in order to lure more students so the school can make more money off the students.
Far from the best in the world, have children in Norway so I can easily compare with Sweden and certainly very good in Norwegian school but is very similar to Swedish and Finnish school, in Sweden you have much more choice as a child and parent in student programs, special education, private alternatives. Of course choices does not make it automatically better. The Norweigian system categories out children's faster with diagnose and puts them faster in special schools where they do not get good study environment. Of course this differs in diffent municipalities, but overall its like this.
Ahh ok, that's interesting. Sometimes special schools can hinder a child's performance and slow their progress so i get why that might not be a good thing.
@@dwaynesview That's right, we do have these schools also in Sweden and sometimes they can be motivated, but many with minor diagnosis which can integrate with normal students should always do so. These special schools have mostly very low learning performing level for the students and therefor they will be less integrated into the society or less prepared for higher educated. I know many will argue against me, but I have seen so many tragic cases of young people ending up in criminality, drug abuse, excessive me dine use for their diagnosis, less ability for a good job, or permanent unemployment and less social ability, my heart feels for all these.
It is not true that Norway puts children's with diagnosis in special schools. I am a former, Norwegian teacher, and i certainly know what it takes to put children in such schools. I even worked in a normal school that had a separate section for developmentally disabled children, and here we are talking severely developmentally disabled children. These students also had access to a normal classroom, although it was for a limited part of the time. Children who are in severe need of care need a different offer than regular school.
@@ahkkariq7406 Seperate section is like a different school and creates we and them. Also I know what I am talking about since if you read I have children in Norway, I never said it is exactly the same in whole Norway. I feel your methods are very similar to in Sweden but you diagnose quicker.
@@roxpace Maybe you did not notice that I wrote these were severely developmentally disabled children? Do you think severley handicappede and mentally retarded children should be in a normal class room? You obviously have no idea about what you are talking about. These children need a totally different training than normal children do, with special equipment and rooms that are adapted to their needs. That they get the chance to be a part of a normal school a couple of hours a week (those who actually can sit at a desk and learn to hold a pencil and have joy of being around other children - you know - not all of them do). That you have your own experience says something about your own case, but it is nothing more than anecdotal evidence. I would think that a teacher who has worked in 7 different Norwegian schools in different parts of the country over a period of 30 years has a better understanding of Norwegian schools than a Swede who happens to have children in Norwegian schools.
I dont care top top. Long as the Danish is from 1 to 15 we are doing fine for the world. Schools are not private matters. They create better taxpayer for all of us. Thats includes all. Skandinavia is that pretty well and learn from each others. Thats the whole point point - learning and what. It pays off to support the system which also a decrody system. Many country says education as a privatre matter. Talent gets wasted via parents empty wallets. That has to kept out. Its a abiout the children talent, qi, skaill and hard work too. So many parents decide too too much. I like the norway model well. Slighte better then the danish one.
Take this video with a big pinch of salt.. its rather try to explain for "stupid americans"! Soo, after reading Norweigan coments, there school system is still good and well funded, and free of charge! In anyway, both "public" and "private" shools is goverment funded, and have to follow the education department guidelines for education.. to be funded! If you want to find the best education system in north europe, look no further then to Finland! Becuse they have not yet adapted that UK/US libertarian bussines competing shool system!
