[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s always amusing when people post nostalgia for they way they were taught, as if those archaic methods were superior.[/quote]

Always amusing when we, as a country, are not doing our best to educate our children.  https://theamericanscholar.org/why-so-many-kids-struggle-to-learn/

Let’s follow the science, shall we? And not some nostalgic way of teaching teachers.[/quote]

Yup. We should model our educational strategies after those in countries that are outperforming our system. Finland is a good one to copy. [/quote]

They are probably outperforming us because they don't expect schools to solve social ills. Do they have a lot of childhood poverty in Finland? I doubt it.[/quote]
Exactly.  Progressives like to drone on about the school to prison pipeline which doesn't exist.  It's a crappy home life or crappy neighborhood or even crappy culture to prison pipeline.  In typical form, progressives [b]expect the state to solve these problems[/b] when it's impossible and then blame the state for failing.  They then lobby to change the system that works quite well for the kids who are willing to put in the effort to benefit the kids who are just there to cause trouble.  It's a race to the bottom.[/quote]

Finland's government programs *have* helped with these problems. [/quote]

Finland’s “problems” are a drop in the bucket compared to ours.

We have a significant percentage of our population who honestly thinks that the rest of us OWE them. That entitlement is the problem with our country. And more social programs only creates more entitlement.

Finland just doesn’t have that large scale entitlement. People in Finland think that raising their kids is their own responsibility. We should start there.[/quote]

Finland's government literally gives its people entitlements. Their form of government creates a population that is more community minded and responsible. We can't have that kind of society because of people like you. [/quote]
Finland has a strong national identity and almost no immigration.  So everyone is rowing at roughly the same speed and in the same direction.  The US is far too diverse and has a massive illegal immigration problem which prohibits the kind of success that Finland has if we were to implement similar policies.  But nice try.[/quote]
