It has nothing to do with that actually (although thank you for the compliment...). Sweden takes a lot of immigrants from other countries, families fleeing from war, famine and persecution. Sweden hasn't been to war since WWI and WWII (although we didn't fight any of them, Sweden stayed neutral). So a lot off immigrants end up here. All cool, says I. But when they get here, with usually just there clothes on there back, they can't speak a word of swedish. And they don't know anything about the culture here. So it is usually a bit of a shock for them. Understandably. There kids speak to languages, naturally, since there parents can't speak swedish and have more trouble learning it then the kids. So the kids speak there mother tongue at home, and swedish at school. Plus have to deal with memories from there home-country... and depressed parents... etc, etc.... So it is no wonder that the kids are so troubled at school, really.
