More on Finland
The editor of OpenEducation.net sent me this link to Several Lessons to Be Learned From Finland. The article provides a more indepth look at why the Finnish school system is successful and provides suggestions for ways other systems could incorporate some of Finland’s educational policies.
This is fascinating. So reasonable and smart. I think that the major driving force behind education in America has too much to do with the insane desire to be number one in the world on every front. With this attitude, I worry the competitive environment in our schools, so detrimental to our children’s spirits, will never be tempered.
