Dear friends,

This is an excellent article on the "schools we [should] envy" in Finland. I encourage anyone who wants to become more interested in education reform in the United States to read this article:

"Even the corporate reformers admire Finland, apparently not recognizing that Finland disproves every part of their agenda."
