Teachers with skills - not just teaching to tests nonstop.

Oh, yes, and Common Core? Well, since teachers are highly educated professionals there is no need for tight central government control of what or how teachers teach in Finland. Teaching and learning are highly individualized in schools and customized to the needs of children and communities. Teaching is such a popular profession in Finland that only the lucky ones are selected to teach. 90 percent of teachers and happy with their work and most of them continue teaching until the end of their working life. Sounds too good to be true? Propaganda, perhaps? Welcome and take a look.

Montgomery County public schools are crap and 1/3 of the people there send their kids to private. But by all means put in tons more money for more of the same.[/quote]

There aren't enough private & parochial schools to take 1/3 of the County students[/quote]
