RE: Finland’s Education System is the Best in the World
No child gets "left behind" in the either. I don't see this as a key to success. I've been taught my teachers with almost no schooling and teachers with dr.'s. Degrees don't make good teachers the desire to teach and the ability to explain things at the most basic level does. You might have something with standardized tests. I think those are what holds back the US most in education. Too many standardized tests.
Teaching to the test is not necessarily to the betterment of the children. The best teachers almost are just born with it. They naturally have a desire to teach and help others learn. Just because they pass the test doesn't mean they can teach. Just because they can pass the test doesn't mean the kids understand and know how to use what they have learned to better themselves and society. I agree with you 100% too many tests.
