How Finland broke every rule — and created a top school system

1. Totally right.

The US system teaches students not to think instead of thinking for themselves. As adults, we figure out that we don't have to do everything we are told, we figure out what is important and focus on it, put the most into it and get the most out of it, and sort of figure out the easiest way to get through the rest or even avoid it, so we can have more time for good things. This is the natural way we want to develop, US school tries to ingrain the opposite. Finnish schools produce adults who stress less, produce well, and have multi-dimensional lives instead of having PTSD on all sorts of levels.
