Hello everyone!
This is the typical ”Svensson, svensson” house. This is like we want to live in the future. A big house, with two or three children and a good handsome husband.

Our dreams about future
Hello everyone!

Swedish norms/standards
There are many immigrants in Sweden, and because of that it can be difficult for many to understand the Swedish standards, it doesn’t have to do. But it can happen.
Like for example in the United States people usually don’t take off their shoes before entering someone's home.
But in Sweden you do that, you take off your shoes at the door. WHY? Because we like to keep it clean.
It is also usual to shake hands with people you haven’t met before, for exempel in a meeting, or if you're going to the dentist. The doctor usually always shake hands and say what name he or she has. And then you just do the same thing, you shake hands and say your name.
It’s important to be in time when you go to a meeting for example, you ususally go there 10 or 5 minutes earlier.
The people in Sweden are mostly nice, but we don’t get too close to someone we know and we aren’t very active when we’re talking. And with that I mean that we don’t really use body language. We keep a certain distance with other people we’re talking to. And we speak very quiet.
We also don’t talk to strangers, that’s something you learn when you are a kid.
For example if you sit on the bus and you see an old lady standing up because there is no place to sit, then someone usually go up and let the lady sit down instead.
I found some questions online about standards, one of the questions was "Where do you get standards from?" And a girl wrote that she got standards of her environment, such as parents, school, as daycare / preschool teachers.
And some special norms that she thought that people should follow was that you should be courteous and helpful.
I agree with her and I also think it must be modified to learn young people(teen-agers) to have more respect for older people, there are many who need to learn to respect people more, not just teen-agers. Because respect if very important in Sweden.
All are not equal, but I still think you should try.
I think it is important with standards it helps us know what is right or wrong. What would happen without them? Imagine if kids would throw snow balls on innocent old people just to have fun. But with the standards we have it doesn’t happen, well not what I’ve seen.

Media
We use Facebook and Instagram a lot, we think many of you have facebook and Instagram too. On instagram we load up photos, on ourself, different trips, our food and other things. The majority of all Swedish girls reading blogs, and also create their own one’s. We have Facebook to find out what our friends do in their spare time. We can also chat with each other.
In our smartphones,iphones and ipads we have different apps. Apps can be, KiK, (KiK is a snabchat, you can send photos and chat with your friends). Facebook, Instagram and some games we can down loading.
Twitter in Sweden is not as popular around us teens. Maybe it is more pouplar around older people and famous people.
In school we use mac comupter, we have our own mac. On our computer in school we study our subject, doing some test, and on a break we often read blogs andFacebook and the boys in our class plays some games. Some of us don’t like computer in school because sometimes our coumpter can cause some technology problems and it is very stressful for us.

Divorce, child allowance and parental leave.
Hi there people!
We hope you'll enjoy it!
In Sweden about 40 000 couples a year get married and 20 000 couples get a divorce. And with those numbers Sweden is the country with the most divorces in the world, according to the population. It’s also very common that people get a divorce just a few years after the wedding. But for the most of the time, the marriage lasts longer than that.
Over all, getting a divorce is not really a big deal, since divorcing is pretty common. If someone get a divorce it’s not like you get surprised. Of course people think it’s sad when it happens and most of the time they give their very best support.
We in sweden have, how to say, a free view of divorces. That kind of means that we don’t judge people to hard for getting a divorce. In many other countries in the world, you might be separated from your family. But here, it is accepted to be in a divorce.
People how get divorce in a early age, often get remarried with a new partner.

Child allowance
By law every family with children have the right to get what we call ”child allowance”, every month. That meens that for every child you have you get 1050 sek. If you have more than 2 children you also get some extra money, for being able to take care of them and give them what the need. You get this grant until your child turn 16. When the children turn 16 it is no longer called child allowance but a ”study grant”. This grant you get as long as you go to school but no longer after you graduate from high school. If you doesn’t go to school, you want get the grant for that month.

WELCOME TO OUR BLOG
Hello friends in Europe,
My name is Emma and I’m a teacher at Almåsgymnasiet, in a town called Borås, in Sweden.
Almåsgymnasiet is an upper secondary school with almost a thousand students. Our students are 16-19 years old. We have various vocational programmes such as the programme of nursing and health, the programme of handicraft (hairdressing, florist, make-up, tailoring), the programme of hotel/tourism and restaurant, the programme of business and administration, and the programme of child and recreation. I teach at the child and recreation programme.
The child and recreation programme is a vocational programme. With a diploma from the programme, students should have the knowledge needed to work with children, youth or adults in pedagogical and social vocational areas, or in the recreational or healthcare sectors. In the programme students should also be given opportunities to study courses preparatory for higher education in these areas.
One of my classes at the child and recreation programme is going to create this blog and tell you about the Swedish culture and their daily life. There are nineteen students in the class, seventeen female students and two male students. We hope that you will find the blog interesting. We are looking forward to read your blog as well.
Kind Regards,
Emma and my students Sofia, Tanja, Elin, Donja, Johanna, Marigona, Henisa, Emily, Millan, Hanna, Emelie, Sade, Simon, Liridona, Erik, Dzenita, Elin, Sara, Lina
