These words describe the goal of the Finnish educational system, as stated by Pasi Stahlberg, who is in the Finnish Ministry of Education. Read more about how the Finnish educational system is so successful in a Smithsonian magazine article that details their techniques.

Another interesting read is Tom Friedman’s revelation that parents are indeed crucial in the education of our children. 🙂 He points to recent “studies” demonstrating that we need better parenting in partnership with the efforts taking place in our schools. I enjoyed the hundreds of comments offering further insights from the article.
