One of the many reasons why these kids are behaving nicely is not only because their parents have taught them manners at home, but also because teachers haven't lost their authority. Once a teacher loses his/her authority, kids start acting the way you described, of course there are many other reasons too, but that is one of them.
Every child is taught in English in school from the age of 7 to a least 16 and every american/english movie, TV-show etc has swedish subtitles, so we hear English being spoken constantly, which is very different compared to Germany, Spain, France etc.
it's the same system in Germany. You learn to read/write in school. At 6 years old. There is no preschool. It's useless. If you want to learn it earlier you can do it at home, with a book. But it's not necessary.
These children are so calm and well-behaved compared to their American counterparts. In the US, kids are so much louder and more aggressive. You see a lot of play fighting, pushing, and shoving. If you took a group of American kids to the lake, at least two or three of them would run off or wander away. I've never been in a classroom like the ones in this film, where every child is able to sit still, pay attention, and keep their hands to themselves.
@cashernandes1 Well, when I went to school we were taught English already at age... 9 or 10, with soft starts already when we were 8 where the teacher would pick up something like a pencil and tell us what it was called in English. It is also one of the "three big" subjects together with math and Swedish. You'd think we're a colony with the way English is obsessed over in school, giving it the same importance as our own language XD
@isabella2215 If we compare how people behave in countries outside of sweden I will say. Youre much much more afraid of loosing face and thats why you never try things out to the fullest. I notice people are often afraid or not used to take risks/experiment, ofcourse errors coming up now and then. But it helps you advance to a higher level in the long run.. We also discuss and listen to each other.. I really hope all goodhearted people in nice and noble coutries will be like us one day.
@isabella2215 If I continues with life after work and hobbies. I love to drive fast and we race with cars on the lakes during winter and you have to fight real hard to go faster than the other drivers. When I went to Nurburgring racetrack in germany I outrunned Porsches in my Ford Focus with 90hp. When Ive been fishing in UK/Slovenia/france its the same. And Im not the best in the world but I realized that if you grow up in a safe and quiet enviroment youre abillities will be perfected
That sort of system wouldn't be possible in the US. Here, they're much more worried about creationism vs evolution, than in improving the actual failed system.
@isabella2215 Dont take it wrong what Im about to write here. Its not bragging Its just an explanation of what Ive seeen and experienced in my life. Im from sweden and work a lot around the globe I mostly work with engineers that been studying on different universitys from China to UK. Me myself and my collegues are just plain and simple electricians nothing more. But still I notice that creativity when solving problems is clearly an advantage for a swedish person.

What I find most impressive is how everyone seems to have a pretty good level of English!

Does that say "Pastafarian" on the white board at 1:53?
His Noodly appendage truly trancends time and culture
No one is stopping you from doing it

I hate to sound like a jerk, but I kinda giggled when the girl at 7:32 faceplanted
I'm probably a terrible person....
The levels of learning English in Sweden are not 'very good', they are mostly excellent, and thats a fact.
I think they speak good English considering it's their second language. How many englishmen can speak swedish and make themselves understood? ....
england can't even have a conversation with a swedish 5 year old :) good game mister.

Who pays such low wages to a teacher? That is beyond me. Just saying. 💠
