No multiculturalism and diversity.
If I can have the answer to one question, I think I can give a very cogent opinion: Does Finland have a lot of African-Finlanders, illegal hispanics and native tribals to try to educate?
Er, they are mainly still Scandavian, no injection of 3rd Worlders.
The Finns are honest, hardworking, very industrious and respectful. They keep everything around them neat and clean and are too intelligent to make excuses. They take responsibility for their actions. I have family who still lives there and a neighbor who married a Finn and decided to stay in Finland to raise his family rather than America.
More time and energy spent on education rather then indoctrination?
Maybe, this could be a little like comparing apples to oranges, somewhat. Finland’s population is about 5.2 million people. America’s population is about 303 million people. Finland’s landmass is about 117 million sq.mi. about the size of Arizona. Arizona also has about a half a million more people. Comparing a very large and ethnically diverse country as ours to Finland is skewed. A better comparison would be among China, India, Indonesia, and Brazil and the U.S. I think it would be safe to say that cherry picked, affluent, county in a urban area of America would do quite well in most comparisons, but to average all U.S. students in, that would definitely lower the overall scores.
Don’t get me wrong, there is whole lot of things that needs fixing with our educational system, mostly in my opinion is due to the stranglehold that the teachers’ union have over local and state school boards. Dissolving teachers’ unions, giving local authority to hire and fire, in one generation, I feel that we (U.S.) would be right back on top. Remember John Dewey, the father of the Modern Education system in America was a socialist. Socialism and unionism, twins from the same sow.
its called a positive homogenous demographic and DNA. The average IQ in sub-Saharan Africa is in the 70s....which is about the same as inner city Atlanta....connect the dots.
The material with which you have to work makes all the difference.
Smart students = good educational results
It’s as simple as that.
