Rather than pulling the fire alarm to get out of midterms next later this month, Norway schools have stepped aside..for the Biebs.

Several schools in the country have preemptively rescheduled midterm exams citing fears that students will cut class and miss the test.

“We find it regrettable, but we preferred to move forward the Norwegian exams to avoid problems,” said Roar Aasen, headmaster of a school in western Norway — one of five so far that have brought exams forward by a week to avoid coinciding with the pop idol’s performances in Oslo on April 16th and 17th.

She added: “We’ve all been 14-years-old and know that interests can be intense.”

Last time Bieber played Norway — in May of last year — he held a free concert that nearly resulted in Oslo’s police declaring a state of emergency.
