    I'm truly sorry that reality is biased against your opinions. It's probably for the best that you continue living in Bananastan and filtering out all information challenging your world view.
    I believe the word you're thinking of is "cease", not "sieze". You'd know that if you lived in a country where quality of academics mattered as much or more than access.

    I've already explained how the ladder question is faulty. So the rankings are bullshit. Would you rather be a 7 in Finland, or a 5 in America?

    I edited it before your post, just not before you started writing it. Terribly sorry if my poor english offends you. I'm assuming you only speak english since other languages are irrelevant?

    You know where I live, so you know the answer to your question. I've probably also spent more time in the US than you have outside your state.
    Our brains have just one scale, and we resize our experiences to fit.

    The irony of an American, and specifically banana, displaying this much ignorance of the fact that Finland is on another level at the top of academic achievement in its students is so delicious I think I just came in my pants.

    Conferences have actually been organised by educators trying to answer the question of why Finland's education system is so successful, and how can we apply it in our country.

    It can't be that successful

    How many Finnish schools are on this list?

    Having a top university is easy - hire the best people and pay them lots of money, then charge students lots of money to go there. Hence that is why educators don't have conferences about 'how do we be more like Harvard?'

    Having the best public schools is a bit more complicated.

    If your point (assuming you had one) was that Finnish education sucks because he misspelled a word in his second language, my point was that his education was probably better than yours because he didn't say something as stupid as you just had.

    You're conflating the term "best" with "accessible" and "equal".

    Lol, no my definition of 'best' was in terms of achievement of its students. Finland stomps every country's ass in that regard.
