Something interesting about these Scandinavians... they cancel classes too easily.

Justin Bieber shows prompt Norwegian schools to reschedule exams

EXCERPT:

Several Norwegian schools have rescheduled this month’s mid-term examinations to avoid a conflict with Justin Bieber’s arrival in Oslo. Five schools in the fishing port of Ålesund decided to adjust their timetable to accommodate local Beliebers who planned to attend the singer’s gigs.

“We find it regrettable, but we preferred to move forward the Norwegian exams to avoid problems,” Roar Aasen, headmaster at Blindheim secondary school, told AFP. Like the other schools in Ålesund, Blindheim feared that dozens of their students would skip their exams to make the seven-hour trek to Oslo, where Bieber will perform on 16 and 17 April.

About half of the girls at Aasen’s school planned to attend Bieber’s shows, according to NRK. “We considered that this was a battle that we could not win,” Aasen said. He and other headmasters decided to change the schedule “three or four months ago”, he explained, “when we found out many students had already bought their tickets”.

As the country’s officials learned last year, Bieber is extremely popular in Norway. The Canadian star caused pandemonium in downtown Oslo when he played an outdoor gig in May 2012; while police strained to control the crowd, the concert ballooned into one of the largest in Norwegian history.

My poor deranged daughter likes this loser. She also knows that there is no way on this earth I will pay for a ticket for her to see him. Actually no girls from her school went and saw him when he was here a while back.
