The flipping of classrooms is promising but Colorado has around 1 million school age children so if you dismiss the idea of learning from Finland because of its size you may want to ignore Colorado as well. On a related note, saying that the US can't learn from smaller countries is the standard reply every time someone suggests that Americans could learn something from another country. Since only a handful of developing countries, Russia and Japan are in the +100 million population class, it's a convenient argument for not learning from anyone else :-)
