Why Are Finland's Schools Successful?

[PikaDaDon]

Lol, I bet the Asians do better.

South Korea and Japan's approach to education is super intense and bordering inhumane. Kids attend school for absurdly long hours and barely get a chance to enjoy life and play outside. The Finnish approach is superior since it's more laid back and they don't revolve their curriculum around testing. Some of the expensive private schools in France and Switzerland have a similar approach where kids frequently take trips and engage in various outdoor activities. The kids are generally happy and smarter -- not lifeless robots who can regurgitate every single word in a textbook. Notice how Japan/South Korea has a high suicide rate.

Meanwhile in America we train our kids to become 9-to-5 cubicle slaves in a debt-based society which discourages individuality and free thinking. They grow up to be overweight and have a menial job all while being obsessed with football.

Finland ceded 11% of its pre-war territory and 30% of its economic assets to the Soviet Union.[32] Soviet losses were heavy, and the country's international reputation suffered.[33]Soviet gains exceeded their pre-war demands and while Soviet forces did not accomplish their objective of the total conquest of Finland,[34][need quotation to verify] they did gain substantial territory along Lake Ladoga, providing a buffer for Leningrad, and territory in Northern Finland.

U.S. is NOT finland!

Different population size and Finland is not infested by a military industrial complex and special interest groups.

Absolutely apples n oranges

I see nothing wrong with intense education when young.

It gets tougher to retain stuff as you get older...why not feed them while young?
The Asians know it works.....check the top colleges they are dominating!!!

Yeah sounds legit.

You have the watch the video. He lied to his teacher. In America, kids get away with lying to their teacher. In South Korea, that chit don't fly. It's like ghetto street rules in the classroom. I don't see any problems with that. That's how they roll. In American, he would be called a punk azz, lying b*tch, but the teachers can't do anything other than give them detention. The Korean 'school of hard knocks' is school, not the streets. It's backwards, but at least they have a high literacy rate.
