More on the education system in Finland. Again, I note that while - as wan McIntosh emphasizes - the Finns trust their teachers and their students, there are other factors at work: no private schools or homseschooling, no 'league tables' of school rankings. And in a wider sense: Finland is simply a more egalitarian country than, say, the U.S. or Britain (I don't think there are slums in Finland). And this is reflected in "the support of weak children" that is credited for Finland's success in PISA evaluations.
