School rules:a comparison between
Italian and Swedish schools
School exchange
Italy - Sweden
2006-2007
Mr or not?
• In Sweden we call the teachers by their first name or nickname (Svenke, Andreas…)
• In Italian schools you must use formal language towards the teachers (Mr and Mrs)
Smoking
• In Sweden you are not allowed to smoke in the school area even if you are 18.
• In Italy you are allowed to smoke in the school area if you are 16.
Dressing code
• In Swedish schools there aren’t any rules about dressing, you can wear whatever you like.
• In Italian schools the code says that you have to dress “properly”, the teachers decide what’s proper or not.
School Democracy
• In Sweden we have school democracy, that means that the students decide everything except the economic questions.
• In Italy we don’t have it. Every class has two representatives that express their requests to the headmaster.
Expelling
• In Sweden it’s difficult to get expelled, so it’s not common. At first you get a warning if you don’t follow the rules, and if it happens again you can get expelled for a week or so. After that if you still don’t behave you can get expelled for a longer time, but you still have the right to be educated at home.
• In Italy it’s easier to get expelled. The teachers give the students a warning at first, and after that the headmaster decides how many days the students are going to be expelled or he can give you a punishment, like cleaning up in the schoolyard or painting the classrooms.
