Andy Kryza was offered the chance to relocate with his wife and young daughter..
The family, who had idealized Scandinavia
...
An American dad who moved to Sweden with his wife and young daughter has revealed the staggering differences in the school systems which ultimately forced the family back to the US.
Andy Kryza, from Los Angeles, said that he 'felt like he had won the lottery' after being offered the chance to relocate with his wife and young daughter.
The family had idealized Scandinavia, believing that Sweden was 'a utopia with happy people, gorgeous nature, and world-class schools.'
But he has since candidly laid bare that 'the grass wasn't necessarily greener' after making the move in 2021 - only to return two years later.
...
the pace of learning turned out to be a shock.
'We soon learned that in the early years of school, teachers mostly prioritized socialization and play,' ..
'We worried that our daughter would regress and forget the core math and science she had excelled with but assumed things would progress in year two. They didn't.'
...
Unexpectedly, our daughter began complaining about a lack of challenges.'
Andy mused that the pace was likely due to the teachers' policy of not letting kids fall behind as they 'paused advancement to ensure everybody was on the same page.'
He branded it as 'admirably progressive' but by eight years old he said his daughter 'couldn't do simple division and once asked us what science was.'
'When addressing our concerns with teachers, we were met with a cold: "This is how we do things here."
'Eventually, we had to decide whether to trust the Swedish system or move back to the US. We chose the latter to avoid letting her get too far behind.'

I would say “bad bath water” is much to kind, more like rancid/rotten sewage with floaters.
half of Ethiopia is Christian, the other half muzzi...IIRC...
achievement and merit mean nothing...
well soon, they will have all the women in burkas, stoning them to death if they talk to a male, so then you'll be happy....
Saw a honey wagon that said on the back:
Septic tanks pumped, Pools filled…..
Not the same truck
Rodney Dangerfield? Henny Youngman? Groucho Marx?
Oh I missed.....
“What was really funny is that he didn’t expect an old f—t like me to climb up there and look.”
Great story—in the lands of socialism folks just get in the habit of “mailing it in” and he expected you to do that.
Oops.
BUMP
True...they gave us zero...and algebra.
In fact, it was Muslims who gave us much of what we have in math.
—
Totally false - they only preserved prior knowledge that appealed to them. All of the math daring scholars “preserved” came from Egypt, Greece, and Persia (Iran). There were only a few minor advancements by Musselmen.
All knowledge that did not appeal, they destroyed in accordance with the muslim dictate: if it is in the koran, it is superfluous and must be destroyed, if it is not in the koran, it is anathema and must be destroyed.
“The Musloid students are learning math in their schools because their parents aren’t stupid.”
So far this has resulted in the invention of the cell phone bomb.
The average town library has more books than can be found in entire musselmen countries.
The best seller in all muslim countries is “Mein Kampf”.
Geniuses, one an all.
they gave us algebra ...which the stole from Persia
The also gave the wholesale destruction of classical western Christianity and civilization & literature; the deaths of an estimated 250 million people; the destruction of the North African grain & live stock belt which had fed the West for a thousand years by salting the land and turning vast goat herds lose on the vegetation - creating the semi-desert of today.
The gave us the Hindu zero and Persian algebra.
Indeed. And my guess is that his problems with the low level of math, science and technology is for the benefit of those immigrants who cannot cope with it.
.
So she’s getting math and science in the US?
Democrats love progressive utopian policies until they have to live under it. Hypocrites, all of them. This guy should not have been allowed to come back. /spit
“well soon, they will have all the women in burkas, stoning them to death if they talk to a male, so then you’ll be happy.... “
Actually, should that happen in USA, it, again, can be traced to the ‘women’s vote’, specifically the Kennedy’s, including the 1965 Immigration Act, which allowed for unlimited Third World immigration. Probably similar histories in European countries too.
Correct.
In my working life I had a saying, “Inspect. Don’t expect.”
