[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm an educator, and my friends in the field and I have been adoring the Finnish school model for years. It's fair to say, though, that the homogeneity of the Finnish population plays an important role in all of this.[/quote] I am OP and I agree, I agree. I am a convert since my second child came along. I was caught up in the hype from my firstborn and then we went to a new preschool for my second child and I really like the amazing things they are doing in the play-based learning environment. I used to mock the concept. No more. Now I am appalled at the rigidity and the forced teach to the test and the early tracking of my firstborn's elementary school. they wanted to put my kid in GT at age 6. He is hyped by all of the craziness and stresses if he gets anything less than a 100%..in first grade. I want him out of that rat race and prefer to keep him in regular class. I am really against such early tracking.[/quote]
