These "news" of giving Finland's school system praise seem to surface all the time and every time they do, they are also big headlines in Finnish yellow press news, glorified to a massive extent "C'MON, WE CAN DO IT!". I'm a 25 year old finnish man, my only education is grade school, I've been to high school twice, both times resulting in my dropping out, because I just haven't had a clue what to do.
This isn't rare, most of the people I know have no education . Even companies such as Rovio have made a program of recruiting specifically people who've fallen off the education system, teaching them from ground up what to do for the task they are hired for. Not even going to talk about youth employment in general.
Every time I read these news, I become sad, like there's some hidden secret that's never been told to me.
My assumption is that news reporters or whatever are taken to few elite schools, so, pretty basic journalism.
- kyberias 13y agoI'm sorry, what was your point again? Tens of thousands graduate from high school every single year in Finland. From all kinds of backgrounds. If you didn't graduate, are you sure the system is to blame?
- shoraishi 13y agoMy point is that these news and/or articles are bullshit propaganda and their sole purpose is reassign the blame of the decline of American or whatever education system elsewhere. Whatever the ulterior motive is. And no, the system isn't the only thing to blame, if I would've gone to the summer long paid coaching courses, I'm sure I would've done a lot better.
