Hi all,
I went to school for a year at a Normallikoulu, in Joensuu, Finland. It was an eye opening experience and one which impacted my learning style and abilities substantially on my return to starting college.
Let's just say I struggled immensely with Science as a school kid until I went to school there.
I'm looking forward to reading more about this.
Thanks for the headsup.
Cheers
Amber

When the world went to defined educational standards and a more regimented curriculum for students with standardized testing, Finland walked the other way and won the race. Numerous books and studies are emerging, and this is one, Finnish Lessons, What Can the World Learn Educational Changes in Finland? got a laudatory write up. Needless to say, Finland isn't the World, but it does present and interesting contrast. And probably not something that many of us needed to be told.
