Why Finland’s schools are great (by doing what we... →
Finland has one other significant advantage over the United States. The child-poverty rate in Finland is under 4 percent. Here it is 22 percent and rising. It’s a well-known fact that family income is the most reliable predictor of academic performance. Finland has a strong social welfare system; we don’t. It is not a “Socialist” nation, by the way. It is egalitarian and capitalist.

A conversation with my father whom we'll call...
Dad: Money for rent will be in your account Friday.
Me: Much appreciated. Also, I'll be making a guest appearance this weekend... it's whatever. Make sure the paparazzi don't show.
Dad: I don't think that'll happen. Your room is painted, we're putting in a new bed and wood floors Saturday.
Me: Wow, all for me?! You didn't have to.... (Yes you did. I expect a red carpet entrance too when I walk in the door.)
Dad: We were going to, but the pope took the carpet with him.
Me: What's a "pope?" Is that that decorative stuff old people use to make rooms smell good?
Dad: That German guy with the weird hat.
Me: Hitler?
