If a student chooses to take the 10th grade it gives him another chance to do better or to think about what he wants to do for a living. Danish students first get grades in the 8th grade. Taking the 10th helped because I got a 9 instead and that became my key to the Gymnasium with an average of 8.33. There are two kinds of Gymnasiums - the linguistic and the mathematical. A fter students finish three years at the Gymnasium we start studying for a job.
Students remain in the same classroom every day with the same people.
There are some exceptions. But we do have to have at least three periods a day. I n Danish schools the teachers are not allowed to hit the students no matter what they do.
