#hillerska skolan

[raincitygirl76]

For anyone getting excited over Hillerska being shut down by the school inspectorate, hold your glee. Lundsberg Skola is the Swedish boarding school Hillerska seems to based on. After years and years of warnings and fines re bullying and hazing, Lundsbergs was shut down by the school inspectorate on August 28, 2013.

It was supposed to stay shut down for a minimum of 6 months. Instead the school hired expensive lawyers, appealed, and were allowed to reopen on September 6, 2013. So it only took 9 days before they found a loophole. One can assume Hillerska will do likewise and everybody (except the third years) will be back in class in the second half of August when the new school year starts.

At Lundsbergs, the headmaster was fired and the entire board of governors resigned after the shut down. But they soon regrouped, hired a new headmaster, appointed new alumni and parents to the board, and debuted a shiny new anti-bullying policy. Whether it actually worked is unlikely. But the parents are mostly alumni themselves. They would’ve gone through the same brutal hazings and wouldn’t think they’d be such a big deal.

Here’s the Wikipedia page, scroll down to the Controversy section for the details on the abuse and bullying that the school was turning a blind eye to. The final investigation, the one that triggered the (temporary) shutdown, was when the younger boys were burned with hot irons by older boys at an initiation. One boy was burned so badly he needed to be hospitalized. The hospital called the local police, who called the school inspectorate. Note: that boy’s parents were not the ones to notify either the police or the school inspectorate.

Also scroll down to the Alumni section for a look at all the rich, influential and famous people (including multiple Swedish royals across many generations) who went there.

i haven't seen someone talk about this yet while I do appreciate that august Neil and others tried to not be like their third years and not do something horrible for the intention party; their idea of something less horrible ( it is but not that much better) was to literally kidnap someone in the middle of the night from their bed ; cover his mouth and tie him in the cold outside to a statue ?? Sweetie we need to talk - I appreciate the effort but like...

Wanted to create Hillerska in The Sims, but it's taking me ages because i can't get the proportions right...

.....and I don't know the structure on the inside hahahahhaah

Can’t help thinking that this seasons Hillerska drama drew inspiration from the real Herlufsholm school drama, where the Danish crown prince attended school.

Like the Danish crown prince stopped attending Herlufsholm after the media found out about the abuse and all fucked up shit that went on there…

Alright. I’m doing it. I’m going to buy a Hillerska hoodie. Has anyone bought one before? I’m trying to find one that's at least decent quality material and looks relatively similar to the one from the show (some of what I’m seeing online has weird letter spacing / sizing). Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated 🙏

Everyone let’s just take a moment and appreciate what I wore to school today (ignore how awkward I look in the photo)

When my friend saw it she pointed and made a weird squealing sound

did everyone on the writing team for S3 of Young Royals just completely forget about Russeau?? August buying him for Sara was such a huge deal in S2 and she loved him but like he didn't have a single appearance and none of the characters mentioned him. He was like my favorite character before. I miss him.

To be perfectly honest, I found 3.06 a bit of a letdown. All Wilhelm’s problems won’t magically disappear just because he’s abdicating. And I found Kristina’s acquiescence deeply implausible. If someone has acted one way for 17 episodes, it’s tough to believe they’re magically a reformed character in the eighteenth episode.

There were a lot of things I really liked about the episode, don’t get me wrong. But for me, the entire third season didn’t hang together the way the first two seasons did. This last episode felt like such an abrupt tonal transition from the darkness of 3.01 through 3.05.

I loved that the boys (and Sara and Felice) got a happy ending. But I was hoping for….more. This ending didn’t feel entirely earned to me. The first 5 episodes of the season dealt with the downward spiral so well, and then they tried to abruptly bring everything back up again in a single episode.

Apologies if I’m going against the general zeitgeist here. But at this point I’m simultaneously relieved my four faves all got a happy ending, and feeling let down. Because they patched everything up in the space of an hour, and it was a rush.

That said, there were things I thought were spot on. Sara and Felice were note perfect. Nils and Vincent being dismayed about August’s promotion to working royal was great. And Stella and Fredrika being sapphic, but still being classist, snobby bitches. Being queer doesn’t automatically turn someone into a nice person.

But in terms of the central pairing, I’m feeling a bit let down. Like they didn’t quite earn their happy ending and I’m not quite sure it’ll really stick in the long term.

Only at Hillerska would it be totally normal for a student to sing the school song remixed into a breakup song at an official ceremony celebrating the anniversary of the school’s founding

REVOLUTION PLAYING DURING THE FINAL PARTY HAS RUINED ME

[sunnysideblogup]

I’m working on a little something and keen to get people’s thoughts

On the one hand, the Danish Royal family pulled their Crown Prince out of his school when sexual abuse allegations surfaced, so there’s a real life precedent. On the other hand, the fictional Royal Court wasn’t even put off the school by an intimate video made of their Crown Prince, so would bullying allegations sway them, especially if the government allowed Hillerska to reopen?

Perfect night in
