Graduations of Victoria, Carl Philip & Madeleine

[Yennie]

I think he talked about it in the interview he did right before his 18th birthday. And Victoria and queen Silvia have talked about his dyslexia in interviews to.

[Yennie]

Victoria about her dyslexia:

– Jag har själv gått i skolan och hört saker som gör ont …
Kronprinsessan Victoria stod i en universitetsaula inför 300 personer samlade till seminarium och talade – öppet, pedagogiskt och glatt – om mobbning och dyslexi, sina egna läs- och skrivsvårigheter.
– Bokstäverna hoppade. Alla skrattade. Tidigt fick jag veta att det inte var mitt fel. Ändå hade jag svårt att acceptera det. Jag kände mig så dum.
Efteråt berättade Victoria för mig:
– Jag har tidigare någon gång i en intervju talat om min dyslexi men aldrig förr har jag gjort det från en scen inför publik.

”Man hörde dumheter”
Något senare talade kronprinsessan Victoria med oss reportrar som i Örebro följde konferensen ”Vänskap vinner, om mobbning och kränkande behandling i skolan” även om sina erfarenheter av sexuella trakasserier.
Var kronprinsessan själv under sin skoltid utsatt för sexuella trakasserier?
– Ja, man hör sådant. Det fanns de som inte kände skiljelinjen.
Drabbades kronprinsessan själv av den där typen av språkbruk?
– Det kommer jag inte ihåg. En del dumheter sas nog som skämt.

Speaking of schools =)
here´s some pictures from Enskilda Gymnasiet, Victoria, Carl Philip and Madeleine´s high school.

Thanks for posting the pictures and the interview. Can anyone translate it ? I got the first part, but not the second, so...
Did Victoria say she suffered from mobbing too?

[Gita]

There are different levels of dyslexia, I don’t have a severe form luckily but I still can struggle in everyday tasks such as reading instructions and reading aloud.

Well still with the Graduation subject, i cant tell that here in Mexico is used to have a ceremony with the black gown o robe and beret and when you officially graduated you change the cord to the other side.
I still have doubt about Gymnasiet, u said that is highschool with college? how many years are that? or maybe you mean only highscholl with a technical carreer (short version) because we have schools like that, but i did 3 years of highschool, enter with 15 and finished with 18 an then comes the University, except medicine, law, are like 4 to 4 1/2 years, and then can come specialization courses, master degrees, doctorades... to many study!!!

[Yennie]

The swedish school system is like this =)

age 7- you start 1st grade (year 1-3 is called "lågstadiet")
age 10- you start 4th grade (year 4-6 is called "mellanstadiet")
age 13 - 7th grade (7 - 9 is called "högstadiet")

all swedish children must attend school the first 9 years. after that you can decide for yourself if you want to go on to "gymnasiet"

16- you start "gymnasiet" and go there for three years. (thats kinda like high school)

After that you can go on to the University, its also called "Högskolan".
There you can study almost anything =) And you can also choose how many years you want to study.

at the university we have courses like this:
20 points = 20 weeks (1 term)
and then 40 points, 60 points...

How nice I have also dyslexia. When I hear a difficult word it is very difficult for me to put it on paper and when I read a difficult word I can't hardly pronounce it.
English and French were my worst subjects at high school, terrible... So visiting the forums here is very good for my english, I combine business with pleasure :P

Lets post pictures from the royal princes and princesses graduations!
I´m in a graduation mood today since my graduation starts in a couple of hours

Who is Victoria hugging in this picture...it looks suspiciously like her younger sister Madeleine, but that doesn't add up, as Madeleine would not have graduated yet...anyone know?

[Britters]

Oops! Didn't mean to double post!!! Silly me! Where has my mind gone?

[Yennie]

The girl Victoria is hugging is one of her classmates. I dont know her name but I´ve seen her with Victoria before...

Did the school Victoria, Carl Philip and Len attended for "high school" require them to wear a uniform of any type?

no, Enskilda Gymnasiet dont have a school uniform. I think its just the bording schools in Sweden (Lundsberg, Sigtuna and two more) that still have uniforms...
