[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]http://www.smithsonianmag.com/innovation/why-are-finlands-schools-successful-49859555/?no-ist=&no-cache=&fb_locale=zh_tw&page=1 Interesting article. Kids don't start until 7. Few standardized tests. Teachers are free to be creative. And, actually, there is LESS centralized control.[/quote] The "don't start until 7" part is misleading, though. Finland has a universal preschool program; over 97% of 3-to-6-year-olds attend; and the preschool curriculum is aligned with the school curriculum. http://www.npr.org/2014/03/08/287255411/what-the-u-s-can-learn-from-finland-where-school-starts-at-age-7[/quote]
