reading a few articles after randomly seeing a special on the Finnish education system i started thinking,  if Finland's teachers come from the top 10% of their population (best and brightest) and the United States is getting their teachers from the bottom 25% what does that say about where we will be in 30 years...



NY Times article on Finlands educators




what does it say about a society that treats school like a part time job?

how on earth are the best and brightest here even in the same ballpark as those in finland?

i shovel dirt for the same starting salary of a teacher in NJ, is that what our future is worth?

is the United States the party guy of the globe?

Will other countries solve our problems with their huge brains in exchange for protection?

wtf is wrong with us?
