Language/Swedish/Culture/Class-Trips-in-Sweden
Going on a class trip is not an uncommon activity for Swedish school students. How often classes go on school trips varies from class to class, but it's not uncommon that classes go once at the end of the third, the sixth, and the ninth grade, since these are often times when classes split up to form new classes or go off to high school. According to Swedish law, schools are not allowed to take out any higher fees for going on school trips. But the law does allow parents to make voluntary donations, and it's not uncommon that the students, with the assistance of their parents, arrange different kinds of activities together to raise money for their school trip. Such activities can be, for example, to sell lottery tickets, arrange discos at their schools, or distribute advertisements. The destination for the actual school trip naturally varies depending on how much money the class has managed to raise. Some classes will just go somewhere close and spend one night, while classes that have managed to raise a lot of money, or have very generous parents, might go abroad.
