Why do Finland's schools get the best results?

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/8601207.stm

In this article it takes a look at Finland and their school system. I think that this excerpt from the article nicely sums up what Finland is doing in their schools. " The Finnish philosophy with education is that everyone has something to contribute and those who struggle in certain subjects should not be left behind." After watching the video this week in class I think that this country is setting the bar high and having the rest of us looking to them for answers. And this article just goes along with what the video said. There results speak for themselves and it is causing all the rest of us to look up from the bottom to them at the top. It will take time to see if they can stay at the top, but as of right now kudos to Finland for finding something that works in their schools and is allowing their students to be some of the brightest the world has to offer. Hopefully more countries can follow suit making the global marketplace even more competitive but all that much better educated.
