The differences between Finland and American education systems start with the youngest students. Finland students start school at a later age than American students. In Finland their students don’t start school until they are seven years old, where as in America the students start school when they are at the age of five. Finland also doesn’t focus on testing their younger students instead they focus on play and teaching their younger students how to understand how they thing and how they learn. Finland doesn’t start testing their students until they are in the fourth grade, around the age of twelve. In America the testing starts when some students art in pre-kindergarten.

Many people know that the U.S. does not rank very high in education. You hear about how they are always trying to improve education, but they still fall short of where they strive to be. In Anu Partanen’s “Finland’s School Success, What Americans Keep Ignoring” she addresses this issue. She points out what Americans are doing wrong, what Finland is doing right, and how the U.S. can improve the education system in many ways.

There are already many articles about how Asian countries are surpassing America in education, but what about Finland? Finland, which is about the size of Minnesota, is top ranking in math, science, and language arts. Despite this, Finland’s education standards are more laid-back than ones in America. America's education system is lackluster in comparison to other countries, but it’s fixable by recognizing the problem, observing other countries, and updating our own standards.

I am sorry about not writing, I have been just going over emails and have seen I have missed several from you both :-( I think I mentioned it but if not Bob's contract will not be continuing next year so - I/we are in the process of prepping for returning stateside for a short vacation (ugh Bob's dad and medical appointments) - not much of a vacation really. Would cancel but the tickets have been purchased for months. Bobs dad signed himself out of rehab last week so don't know where that will lead.
