Bieber fever halts Norwegian exams

Five schools in Norway have rescheduled their mid-term exams to allow pupils to attend Justin Bieber concerts in Oslo.

The 19-year-old Canadian pop star is scheduled to perform in the capital on April 16 and 17 - stoking fears that some children in remote schools will skip exams scheduled at the same time.

The singer is extremely popular in Norway, where his free concert in Oslo last year resulted in dozens of injuries as teenage girls fought to get glimpses of him.

To accommodate this Bieber-mania, five schools in the Alesund region - located 230 miles from Oslo - have rescheduled exams.

What are these schools thinking; they should have the exams on the day they were pencilled in for regardless of whether there is a Justin Bieber concert.

Think about it for a moment, if a pupil chooses to skip an exam to go to a Justin Bieber concert then chances are they’re pretty brain-dead and won’t be making much of a contribution to Norwegian society when they grow up, so let them go and enjoy themselves before they become adults living a life of regret and misery
