Finland's education system is more competitive than the American system.Originally Posted by CoccoBill
Finland's system could be better too. Finland is in a unique situation where it has a small, mostly homogeneous population of people who share similar culture and values. In this kind of place, it's not that hard to have a public system that's generally all right because the subjects generally want the same things. There are still some drawbacks, but they're the kind that Americans care more about and Finnish probably don't.
Transplanting this to a diverse population would spell disaster. The funny thing is that a lot of what American conservatives and Trump supporters are fighting for are things that Finland already values and already has. We want to be able to govern ourselves like you guys do. Finnish government is much more representative of the Finnish people than the American federal government is of American people. Some of our state governments are probably about as representative, but most aren't.
