Should students in the USA be allowed to grade teachers on effort?
In Sweden students are allowed to give their teachers reports to see where improvement is needed and what can be done. Keep in mind Sweden has a higher literacy rate than the USA. Think about it......

I know in college students fill out surveys about their professors, and schools use that.
2 :
Colleges in america do this. But think about it -- a kid doesn't do their work, gets a bad grade and hates the teacher because of it -- not exactly an impartial way of getting feedback.
3 :
In Sweden they also get home schooled until they are 7 (I think it's seven), they have a MUCH BETTER work ethic, it's not the same in other parts of the world.
4 :
I'm sure the teachers unions have very specific clauses in their contracts that prevent such critiques of their performance. After all, isn't that what "workers rights" are all about?
5 :
its not really the teachers fault if the dumbass kids don't want to pay attention and learn, in california the highschools are full of gang members, wannabe gang members, pot smoking hippies, girls getting preggo from left to right, etc, just all around bad stuff happens in schools. how about cleaning them up and kick all the bad kids out, before we work on the teachers. just an answer.
6 :
In Sweden teachers are allowed to keep order in class and students have consequences when they do not do school work or disrupt class. The more centralized government, uniform social expectations, lend themselves to a much better educational environment. It is not realistic to completely toe someone's hands in regard to work performance, then grade performance and find fault. There are very good reasons why Nordic countries are considered to be the best places to live.
7 :
At the College I go to the student do grade the teacher, at high school the students do grade the teachers. I lower grades the parents grade the teachers. Keep in mind students chose their classes in college and drop classes or withdraw from teachers that are overly insane with homework. Keep in mind, high school students sign up for good teachers first and then are forced to take bad teachers when there is no room left in the good teachers classes. As keep in mind as parents we ask for teachers and avoid others for our children Please keep in mind that even if a teacher is completely incompetent they cannot be fired becuase of the unions

Yes this is true that studying in sweden is free but consider one thing that only study is free and you have to bear the expenses of your accomodation, food, study material, telecommunication, clothing, travelling etc. These things are too much costly here in Sweden.

Studying abroad in Sweden or Finland?
Studying abroad in Sweden or Finland?
I'm fixing to finish my 1st year of college. I'm a music management student and would love to go over to Sweden or Finland in the next year or two, and maybe do a summer program for a month or two. Here are some things I'm wondering about: 1. Classes taught in English? 2. Cost of University? 3. Music and Business programs? 4. Which Universities would be the best? Basically any information that would be helpful. I would really appreciate your input and help, especially from those who live there or someone who's done it before. Thanks!

My sister is going to study in Norway for college next year ^^ Classes are sometimes taught in English. I believe that most of the time, you have to learn the language. I know that applying to the schools, at least in Norway, so I'm assuming it's the same, doesn't cost anything. I think the classes them selves don't cost much at all. After that, I'm not sure. You obviously have access to a computer, so you should try looking up lots of colleges. Good luck!
2 :
Go to Sweden.They are more friendly.
3 :
Classes are free in Sweden, if you can speak Svenska (swedish). I dunno about Finland. I would definitely recommend going to Sweden because Sweden is a much more developed country than Finland and there would be a lot more to do there. You can easily find classes taught in English in Sweden, the majority of Swedes speak English very well.
4 :
Finnish education is free of charge and is one of the best in the world! There are a variety of schools and programs in all the fields. There are plenty of things to do in Finland and the student life over there is great! I know it by experience. For music I think Sibelius Academy is the most renown, however, not the only option. Finnish people are regarded as excellent musicians. I suggest you to visit the web page of the Finnish Ministry of Education. There you will find all the education regarding the Finnish educational system and the different options.
5 :
Sweden and Finland are two very nice countries with beautiful nature and totally free public education, also for international students (and don't believe Sweden is "more developed" - they are more or less equal in most regards). I know more about Sweden, so I will give you some answers relating to that: 1. There are several courses taught in English in Sweden, although the principal language of education is Swedish. Virtually everyone you will meet speak good English - students as well as teachers. 2. Free 3 & 4. The most prestigious business school in Northern Europe is probably Stockholm School of Economics: http://www.hhs.se/default.htm Music education is very good in both countries, but maybe a little more emphasis on classical music in Finland - the education for classical conductors is formidable in Finland and quite ordinary in Sweden. On the other hand all kinds of educations in and about popular music are probably superior in Sweden. Music management is taught at Baltic Business School at the University of Kalmar: http://www.bbs.hik.se/eng/ and maybe also in other schools.

1. Yes, Facebook is very common. 2. Yes, virtually everyone in Sweden, at least those under 75 years of age, have a good working knowledge of English. 3. Generally speaking, Sweden is more informal than many other countries, both regarding clothing and in other matters. For many Swedes, fashion is not very important, although that differs from place to place. In Stockholm (the biggest city) it seems more important what you wear, in Gothenburg (the second city) less so. In my homecity, I remember one of the high schools were very fashionbound, the other very not so. For me, fashion, looking modern, not being different or seeming "normal" is totally uninteresting, but people are different also in that regard. As to the fashion per se, the trends nowadays are more global than local anyway.

They are both Nordic countries with an advanced education system so it's hard to find any clear differences between the two. Two of my friends are currently doing their advanced studies in Sweden and seem to like the country. By that parameter, I would pick Sweden.

Swedish degrees are as good as American and UK ones. But remember you have to be able to speak Swedish to attend University there. Also Sweden has one of the toughest migration laws in Europe
