[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Even with their "fall" in the PISAs, the Finns are still far ahead of the US.[/quote] In addition to being and incredibly homogeneous society, Finland also has the advantage of perhaps the easiest language to read and spell in the world for native speakers. Switzerland is ahead of them despite having to deal with four different languages. Singapore is far ahead despite having to deal with a nightmare of an educational system that teaches in English in spite of the fact that it is rarely being the language spoken at home of the kids being taught there. Finland is no model for the US.[/quote] I don't understand why this point isn't brought up more. It is much harder to learn how to read and spell in English in comparison to Finnish.[/quote] a. don't think the PISA tests spelling b. wouldn't explain away the math achievement[/quote]
