In addition to eating salmiakki and creating reallylongwords, you can add education to the list of things that the Finns do well. Recently, NBC Nightly News ran a special that compared American and Finnish schools. I have included the story below because it does a nice job summarizing the main reason for why I am in Finland. As an aspiring teacher, I really appreciate having this opportunity to learn from the best. At some point, I will begin to post more blog entries about the differences I have noticed from my own experiences in Finnish schools. However, I have not brought my camera to school yet, so these posts will need to wait. Please stay tuned.
