“Finland’s educational system. Fascinating thing about three decades ago Finland has an educational system that is doing terribly and they look around and th…
finish education system is hard to implement in other part of the world.
The reasons are:
1. Private schools make so much profit. Private schools in Australia even
get subsidized by taxpayers money in Australia.
Will Private Schools lobby allow themselves to become state sponsored
schools?
2. Schools are struggling to get even teachers with Bachelor degrees to
teach Math and Science. Will they get enough man powers with Masters
degrees?
3. Combinely ,Standardized test such as SAT, ACT, TOEFL, GMAT, GRE, IELTS,
NAPLAN etc are multi billions industry. Try removing them. Backlash would
be enormous.
I would love to “Explode his mind” :)
And here I thought our country’s education was merely alright.. ._.
THIS IS SO FUCKING AWESOME – THIS IS FUTURE!!!
I like to look at Scandinavia as a sort of experimental region, it is easy
to see what works and what doesnt on such small scale.
Its also amusing to look at Sweden which is using the american template for
education and has fallen alot on the international rankings.
In 2013, the Swedish gov even called a crisis meeting to curb the negative
trend while at the same time finlanders who are neighbours have no such
problems.
I really think we should take notes from Finland. Really, my school is
pitiful. It’s embarrassing now. I heard stories of the U.S. once being at
the top, and now we’re all the way down in ranks as low as #16 in one
subject and #23 and #25 in others. I really don’t think teachers should be
saying “Oh, our methods works”. They’ve obviously proved their methods are
more efficient than ours. Also, I think there should be other tests where
you compare your scores during your last year in high school, just to give
other countries who get a majority of their knowledge in their later years
a chance. I can honestly say I’ve seen a significant rise in the skills of
my classmates over these past 2 years. I’m now a junior.
lots of things changed worse since than, hope they will die and loose
elections this year
Well I wouldn’t have even guessed that Finland was this high on the
ranking. I don’t even have a clue why this system is called so good, I mean
we’re pretty much given the longest pauses ever and the learning pace is
unbelievably slow all of the time.
But the recent drop in the rankings for Finland is quite possibly because
the attitude of this specific age group is not entirely on the “Alright, I
can give it a shot.” level, and that results in them saying “Well, just
fuck it.”. Sure I’m myself a part of it, and you can argue that I’m
unbelievably lazy and also say the “Naah, I’ll do it later” but that’s a
part of it, everyone says it (at some point). Despite that I rank quite
high among the students in my year (Not a full 10 out of 10, but my average
is more like 9,2 out of 10). If I were to compare the other “lazier”
students to me (Oh and as I said I’m also lazy as hell, don’t take me wrong
here), the difference would be that I actually care (sometimes… o.o) and
am willing to learn more. It’s just not the educational system that can
blow up, the people are also a part of the reason why it’s doing well or
bad.
I suppose people just aren’t that self-imposed anymore (Well I can’t really
know if we ever were). I learn japanese on my free time, when I feel like
it, and it doesn’t take any of my time away and is genuinely fun. You
should find something like that too, which is actually fun and useful, it’s
really rewarding I suggest that to everyone.
The point is, it can be a long and painful fall from the top, unless we
change our attitude.
These are my thoughts on this matter, not that I can express it well, but I
gave it a shot. Just a way to pass my holiday , eh?
What’s the title of the book he mentions?
Mindblow! D= But then, I can see where their logic comes from, It is a lot
easier to teach/train someone who is enthusiastic then just force someone
to it, and just end up as the idiom goes “flog the dead horse”
Even in High School/College I sort of noticed that too in person by person
case
so heres how it goes in my school: 25-30 kids in one classroom,its super
hot,theres 1 teacher and people are loud and do not SHUT THE FUCK UP
yep, Sweden is today a disaster because of that reason because of this
moderates who came in power in 2006
ontario needs this for bilingualism, that oughta shut the quebecers up
