    It’s been a few years since I read about this, but Finland also has one of the (if not the) best public education system in the world.

    Apparently a couple decades ago (can’t remember exactly how long), Finland was rated very poorly in some worldwide study on public education.

    Fellow Americans are going to have trouble grasping this, but that prompted Finland to actually change how their public education system works from the ground up. They did a ton of research and within a few years, they were climbing up that list. It really did not take them very long to correct their very poor public education system, and get to the top.

    Finland is obviously much smaller and less populous than the US, but I still believe we can learn a lot from their example.

    Instead, we’re going the opposite way… “School choice,” vouchers, charter schools. All that bullshit meant to erode our public education system. Gotta privatize everything!

      Incredible. Seeing problems and fixing them? That might as well be magic as far as the United States is concerned.
