Amy and I both went to public schools and got PhDs.

In Australia, parents plan which school to send their kids to beginning in kindergarten (prep here) in hopes of getting into a better high school.

There is also a lot of private schools that charge upwards of $30,000 per year in high school.

That’s just crazy.

A teenage student in Sweden attending Liljaskolen high school near Umeå is reported to have been sleeping on a mattress in school basement covered in feces, urine and vomit, despite clean dormitories being available elsewhere in the building.

Social services in Vännas are understood to have been alerted to the pupil’s living conditions at Liljaskolen high school near Umeå in northern Sweden last month, although the story has only just emerged in the Swedish media.

Liljaskolen is attended by 800 students and specializes in teaching snow sports such as skiing and ice hockey alongside vocational subjects including tourism, design and watch-making. Its pupils come from more than 50 municipalities across Sweden, Finland and Denmark.

The school provides several dormitories for students who do not come from the area, funded by Vännas council.

It is understood that the pupil is now living with family members.

You don’t need to go to school to learn hockey. Just come to the rink.
