** From an article by an exchange teacher, Kelly Day - who spent some time in Finland recently:
Our U.S.Society has created a structure that is too integrated with our competitive culture for the Finnish mindset of simplify to be effective.
My 7th grade students didn’t know how to adapt to a school mode based on less structure, less competitiveness and less formal accountability. -

What is needed is a complete revaluation of the what, why and purpose of our public education system!
Most of our problems come from the fact that most people have the: " want everything now syndrome! " But the main problem with this system is " It ain't gon'a happen!
" because it is not possible. There are certain limits in this life which must be observed like it or not.
A key one is that everything is not just readily available - waiting for you to come get it...
Moderation and old time " common Sense " have gone out the window - replaced by the new "we can do anything - now " syndrome system {Which does not really exist!}.
So why is it that so many seek the none existent real of magic and super heroes?
Once you sell out your basic ideals for some fancy foot work - all else is going down the drain of dreams and unwise thinking...
This being said does not mean that seeking a better way is not desired but we must remember to progress successfully - we must be observant and patient!
Time and tide wait on no man!
