Yes, it was just to bring a fresh perspective to kids have to start school at 3. Sure, we cant replicate most of it since there is one only language spoken by all students there. The point is that teaching is very valued, so all the schools in Finland are homogenous in a good sense, they are all “Carmel Valley schools”. [/quote]
I guess we both are saying the same thing then. Those who value education will do well in school and those who don’t won’t. When you value education, you’ll value teachers. I’m sure teachers at well performing schools get valued just like the teachers in Finland. But since they have a voucher system, if the school sucks and the teachers suck, the parents have the ability to move their kids to a better school. So, not all teachers are valued, only the good ones. That sounds quite capitalistic to me.
