As a Finn, I'd like to make a few points regarding education in Finland:

1. The Finnish educational system is not superior to that of other countries. We simply get less fructose as kids (example: the glucose-fructose-syrope in Coke destroys the brain).

2. Teachers in FInland are not esteemed - in fact, doctors and lawyers pity teachers for they extremely low salaries and the low-tier social status that follows.

3. We have a lot of swear-words. Feeling bad? Perkele vittu saatana jumalauta helvetin kusipäät ei kullin kyrpä.

It depends on size, US is much larger then Finland or Sweden so they have the time to nourish every kid's education, but it's also important for every child to be educated so the country isn't taken advantage of the other nations. China pumps out 6 million college graduates a year, that almost the amount of Sweden's entire population

Finland has actualy almost 50 percent less GDP per capita than the US. Yet they have enough money to afford such education.

it's a lot of factors, but the American mentality is that if we throw money at a problem it will be solved. Meanwhile, everyone and their mother is taking a cut. Another thing is what we don't value education as highly as Finland and Sweden because that's technically their export. Kids gets educated, they get secure paying jobs, pay taxes back, and repeat. An educated child is the best investment a country can do.

I remember when my teacher at high school complained than we needed to study more at home. It only takes 30 minutes to repeat my 50 minute lesson, she said.
Bitch, I have 13 other subjects and I would like to have a life outside school too.

Finn here, I know for a fact that teachers are NOT as esteemed as doctors and lawyers! Not even close.

im actually going to agree with the post even though im american. all ive ever seen in highschool and elementary school is heres a peice of paper do it and get full credit. you arent actually being taught the material. the teacher then lecture for half an hour to an hour and students just scribble whats on the board which doesnt work for everybody

The claim that there is no homework from school in Finland is total bs. From what I remmeber from school is that the homework took some 2-3 hours on school days. If we had to write essays, it could have taken some 4 extra hour for one. These are rough estimates since the amount of homework varied between days and depending schooling level.

Not bad, but most of the larger countries cannot higher teachers with master degrees because they would have to pay them more, and they just dont have those kinds of resources. I would move there though.
