You're aware that by American standards, Finland is a fully socialist state, right?
- bombolo 3y agoBoth Sweden and Finland joined NATO with the goal of increasing army spending and reducing it on the social programs. Better to give money to USA to buy one F22 and to complain about darkies being criminals, than to put money to education so that criminality isn't the only route out of poverty right? /s And of course in Sweden the schools where the residents are poor get less money, aren't as good, and it's much more difficult for their students to be accepted into a university.

- bombolo 3y agoBy allowing private schools to have no oversight from the government, pocket money and teach (or not teach) whatever they feel like? Did that work?
- gustavf 3y agoWhat? There's generally an adjustment to the funding for schools in Sweden depending on socio-economic factors, so if anything schools where more residents are poor get more money.
