I was really surprised to hear about Finland's education system. For most people in America, it would see like a step backwards. I think, however, that students in Finland will continue to prosper because they are not being forced to learn - they are excited to do and are choosing to learn. This change in thinking is a significant one, and would require buy-in from everyone involved in the education system - something that would not be easily done here in America. There are so many theories and schools of thought that creating one vision like Finland would be, I hate to say it, almost impossible.
