‘First, a little about me: in Order to create a small picture of who I am.
I’m Emily, I’m 20 years old, living in Køge, and I have chosen to study in Sweden.
Outside of school I do bikini fitness, is a micro influenser on Instagram and working 40-60 hours per month.
I live out and have lived for myself the last 4 years.
I am an incredibly positive and energetic person with many plans for the future.’

How to start a post from the 20-year-old Emily, who, after being stamped by the Danish education system have found their luck at a music school in Sweden. Emily would seem, the Danish education system is completely to the rats, and she would like to focus on how unfair the Danish students are being treated. And tell that man in Sweden handle such a thing as the absence due to stress, very different. her post continues thus:
– I find it actually incredible fat, that I was declared non-education ready, when I was in ninth grade.
– Only because I did not do me good in math, even though I got 12 in English and good character in other subjects.
– I contacted the namely, as a school in Sweden, which saw me in a whole different way and be able to see that grades is not the biggest factor.
And I do not think the long train ride is a problem, for I would far rather take a longer trip to a school that will have me there, than a short trip to a school where I feel I’m not ‘welcome’.
– Here is it possible for me to focus on it, which interests me, and at the same time we have the other essential subjects, such as Swedish, English, mathematics, science, social studies, etc.
– the entrance examination in my school only requires that you have some sort of musical talent. They are looking either in character or background.
Emily on the way over the Sound
‘They take in, how you are and how you are doing musical.
The best part is that you have the full requirements for the SU, the most basic, as if you went to a studio in Denmark. The same with the youth card, which has the same rules’, writes Emily, who have made this short list of the differences between Denmark and Sweden:
1. Taking into account pupils ‘ health, mentally as far as physically.
2. Free food at the school, morning and dinner.
3. No summary dismissal for absence due to illness or a delayed return.
4. Personal communication and extremely understanding from the teachers.
5. Focus on the good learning that works for each individual.
1. The completely unjustified absenteeism.
2. The evaluation of the students.
3. Not to take stress and anxiety seriously.
4. To pay over the odds for the food in school canteens, or that you pay in general.
5. Lack of mutual respect between teachers and pupils.
