Well mostly because Finland is a radically different country than the US. Monocultural etc. They do not have some of our big problems like the 1) With the teachers unions, 2) The affects of illegal aliens inflating class sizes and not speaking the language of the land. I came from California and went to private schools when the public schools were much better (Christian avoided them because of the behavioral problems that went on at times), now my home state is the worst in the country because of these reasons.

That's interesting considering that it's not usually Finnish scientists, engineers, mathematicians and the like that are making groundbreaking advancements in their field. At least, I haven't heard of many or any. That's just me though.

The educational system in the US is not a problem for single Christians. You were told:

Wisdom is supreme; so acquire wisdom. And whatever you may acquire, gain understanding. —Proverbs 4:7

Therefore, you should use this period to prepare and ensure your children won't be subject to the same. You have no excuse. You've seen the handwriting on the wall.

That's a wise application of the scripture. If your children end up in the cesspool, it's your fault. You have no one to blame but yourself.

PS. The OP should read They're not There.

Tax rate in Finland: 56.95%

Sorry, I'll send my kids a lunch and they can pay for post secondary.

I do, however, think it's time for the schools to stop worrying about politics and religion. Start teaching our kids to read, write and do the math....Some history of their country and what freedom really means. Also, how many lives were lost so that they can have their freedom.

Maybe even some financial education like how a mortgage, car payments, credit cards, reward points and other programs work and how to run a budget for a home.

Well mostly because Finland is a radically different country than the US. Monocultural etc.

according to the world Atlas about 20% of all people in Finland belong to minority cultural groups.

They do not have some of our big problems like the 1) With the teachers unions,

Most Fins are part of a union. The teachers’ union is the OAJ which is a member of the Confederation of Unions for Professional and Managerial Staff in Finland.

2) The affects of illegal aliens inflating class sizes and not speaking the language of the land.

Finland has 6 nationally recognized languages - Finnish, Swedish Saami, Romani, Karelian and Finnish sign language.

I came from California and went to private schools when the public schools were much better (Christian avoided them because of the behavioral problems that went on at times), now my home state is the worst in the country because of these reasons.

[grasping the after wind]

Finland has the best education system in the world.

Really? Are the Finns the leading innovators in most fields? Do the best engineers, scientists, medical doctors, philosophers etc. mostly come from there? When ranking an education system I would look at how cutting edge the economy of a country is first. After all the best education system should produce the top achievers in the world. Is Finland supplying that? I find that the popular pastime of ranking things is totally subjectively based upon what any particular individual or group of rankers prefer to prioritize and not based upon objective criterion that would be universally agreed upon.

Your title to the thread up for discussion is:

School's are not Teaching, there making kids ignorant

However, if we were going to write it correctly it would be:

Schools Are Not Teaching: They're Making Kids Ignorant

Schools spelled this way is plural nonpossessive - as it should be. They are, when spelled in contraction form, is they're, not there. (Although contractions aren't used in formal writing)

Great example of schools not teaching though! Didn't need to add Finland into the mix, the title alone was quite expressive of the thought process...

haha - just giving you a hard time..

Note that the number at the bottom of the y-axis is not 0. It's 48. A tax rate of 56.95% is still pretty high (so they'd better get some really good services back from the government for that), but the graph makes it look like the increase from 2014 to 2020 was much higher, proportionately, than it was. I don't know why the Trading Economics site chose to create their graph starting at a nonzero y-value.

I do agree though, the entire education system and curriculum needs to be overhauled...Yes, even in Canada.

But, I am strongly in favor of people paying their own way in life and being a benefit to their country, not a tax burden.
