I'm sure American children of Finnish descent are just as amazing.

Yep, being a teacher is a highly respected gig in those Scandinavian countries. If I ever had a chance I would move there in a heartbeat.

That country is like the private school of Europe. Sure it's easy when there is no minorities an poors pulling on the system.

I was reading something today at work that said Teachers were paid like doctors in Norway.

Shhh. Stats are wonderful things. Except when they reflect poorly on a point we're trying to make.

American children and parents have the same values as the Finnish. Anyone that thinks those systems would work here are insane.

Everybody responsible for assigning loads of homework to young children can DIAF.

After having kids at school for 8 hours, you're going to assign them more work? Pure insanity.

Are they seriously trying to bitch about student-teacher personal interaction while saying we need to cut back the amount of teachers we accept into teaching programs? We already have a shortage of teachers (not even good ones) with a much larger population. That comparison is fricking stupid.

It's only getting worse too. There's no pride in teaching in America anymore. Why is a college grad going to take a 35k a year job when he/she can take a sales job or learn a trade making double that.

You think it's bad now wait 20 years from now. Especially, down south and in urban areas.
