The article has a variety of things wrong, such as the school system in Finland. Like most places, there are national curriculum standards. But not only does that not make all schools equally effective, private schools are still possible, including ones not specifically approved by the government. In those instances the local municipality monitors progress and issues certificates. The schools cannot be for-profit but then most private schools in the US are also operated as non-profits. In short, the idea that a wealthy person can’t buy a better education for their children and is thereby incentivized to ensure the public schools are excellent, that is not true. If you’re looking for a reason why Finland has excellent schools, it’s not “Rich people have no other choice”. https://www.aacrao.org/edge/emergent-news/private-education-... |
