[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]..... the article talks about percentage of foreign born students, but often problem students are born in the US. kids in ward 8 are most likely born in the US, and I am not sure Finland has social situation similar to the one in the US. in my country we did not have situations of widespread economic and social problems like in the US. making sure that teachers are well qualified is really important (and I understand that in DC until recently there were teachers who did not have basic qualifications), but I doubt Finland has areas with tens of thousands of superpoor people from broken families where kids have kids [/quote] The big cities also their ghettos with poor kids and super poor For the most part the poor live amongst average people and are spread out. There are not many rich only areas like here in America. City slums do exist but tend to be smaller than the average depressed American city area [/quote]
