Viyasan: To compare and contrast with Canada at least, and Toronto, in high school there is about one student, or sorry, one teacher per 28 students. Gyri: To get more teachers, and have like, I think the goal is to have one teacher for every five kids. So that's a problem now in Norway, that not enough people are getting their, or becoming teachers, and there are so many students that have other needs than the rest of the students and we don't have enough teachers to follow up on all of them. Gyri: And we're also, we don't have enough teachers as well. So we have a lot of, yeah, we have a problem with pupils that can't focus. Gyri: Yeah, 'cause I think one of the problems that we have in Norway is like motivation, maybe because, like, we're a more relaxed, or we're, yeah, we're more relaxed when it comes to education, other problems show up. Viyasan: So there's a large emphasis on what you do outside of the classroom. Norwegians, I think, mostly agree that you do school at school, and then you do other things after so you don't have to think about school all the time. Gyri: Well, I think Norway really wants to focus on that if we have a lot of free time then we learn better, like we'll stay motivated instead of like having to go to school and then also having to work with school when you get home.
That's pretty cool, like, do you think it's working? What are your thoughts on it? Viyasan: So that's very interesting, because I'm sure all around the world students who go to school have lots of homework, they have lots of classes to take, they're probably in classes for lots of hours in a day. So it was, how I remember grade school and junior high is that it's pretty relaxed. Gyri: Also, in junior high I remember that we did have homework, but it was like, it didn't really matter if you did it or not. I think they changed it recently so that they almost have no homework anymore. When I was little, or in grade school, we had homework, but not too much. So, we don't have a lot of homework, that's true. Tell me a little bit more about how school is in Norway. Viyasan: So Gyri, can you tell me a little bit more about the lifestyle of school in Norway? For example, I've heard you guys don't have homework, don't have standardized tests.
