Children in Finland start school at the age of seven. They are only in classrooms half the time as most other countries. Its students outperform most others across the world. Why is that?

Classes are generally monocultural.
Blacks in the US performed much better when they had Black teachers in segregated schools.
Perhaps Finns have a genetic advantage?
I looked it up. 96% of the population is ethnic Finn. That can’t be it though, because diversity is our greatest strength and so the United States is very very strong! Let’s keep thinking because it can’t be genes.
Just learning & mastering the Finnish language makes you a genius!
I grew up in a PNW logging town full if Finnish immigrants.
Why do Finn kids do so well? 1)Don’t mess with a Finnish dad and 2)see number 1
Hope they don't ever let the muslims in or else they're finnished.
Involved parents, limited multiculturalism, limited woke indoctrination. It all adds up to increased learning of what’s important in life. That’s my best guess.
Yep
What? They don’t teach how rotten Finland is? How their “colonizer” forefathers stole the land? How they are all living on stolen land? How trannies and POCs are oppressed by the Finns? What’s wrong with those people?
Not just genes.
Racist, white supremacist Lyndon Baines Johnson and his democrat henchmen throwing fathers out of homes as part of buying votes from folks now trapped in the modern democrat plantation.
it’s pretty much genes
Finnish Supreme Court found Päivi Räsänen guilty for saying “homosexuality is a developmental disorder.”

The court ruled this claim was factually incorrect based on modern medical understanding and derogatory toward a protected group (LGBT people). That combination met Finland’s legal threshold for “incitement against a group” (hate speech).
protected people. Is that like a titmouse?
It's the blacks and Hispanics dropping US averages. Blacks are taught that doing well in school is "acting white." Millions of Hispanic kids have parents only semi-literate in their own language.
The Hispanics will eventually catch up. The black problem in this area, like most, is much harder to address.
Hispanic aggregate iq is too low.
I see what you did there :-)
It may be that their winters have few hours of daylight and many hours to study.
Finland is no longer even in the top 10, based on PISA scores.
Singapore is #1
The mind has habits as well as the body, and if those are never exercised or even positively discouraged (which would happen in many cases even by blacks raised by whites in our society), then IQ will suffer.
