Denmark's schools are now back in full flow after the summer holidays. We'd like to hear the thoughts of our readers in Denmark about the best (and worst) aspects of going to school in the country.

Denmark's folkeskoler or public schools are the backbone of the country's education system. Children start at the age of six and continue until they complete ninth grade at the age of 16.

Pupils don't wear uniform, address their teachers on first name terms, usually finish for the day by 2pm and go on their summer holidays in July, not August.

These are perhaps some of the most overt differences between school in Denmark compared to a lot of other countries. But which differences have you noticed, for better or for worse? 

Take a look at the survey below and let us know your thoughts. If the survey doesn't display in your browser, CLICK HERE.
