- cs702 4y agoI didn't say we should aspire to be more like the Finnish. What I did say is that I would be OK with teachers getting paid a lot more if they are drawn from the top of the distribution of academic performance in the country, which is what public schools in Finland do. It makes sense that if public schools hire teachers only from the most academically competent population in the country, and pay them well, they will improve the quality of public education. Please don't attack a straw man!
